In the first ODI, Afghanistan's Ghazanfar was able to turn everything around with their bowling magic which made it easy for Afghanistan to win the match. Both the teams bowled well in that match but Bangladesh team's batting was so weak. When Afghanistan lost five wickets under scoring 100, the team struggled to take the score to 229 but Bangladesh could not bat that way.

Mehdi Hasan Miraj of Bangladesh did not get any wicket in that match but Ghazanfar got a wicket as soon as he bowled. Mehdi Hasan Miraj though was a bowler of Ghazanfar's quality. It is not right to blame the Bangladesh bowlers in that match, but if all the blame is to be blamed then Bangladesh batsmen have to do it. Especially how Mahmudullah Riyad and Mushfiqur Rahim got out recklessly despite being two older and experienced batsmen. Bangladesh would not have been defeated in that match if they had not played the innings recklessly.

There is nothing to blame in that match to say that their overall team condition is not good. When the team has motivation among the players then even a tough match can be won but if it is not then even the winning matches are lost as seen in the last match. I will not blame the bowlers because the bowlers were able to apply enough pressure but the batsmen failed there. Mehdi Hasan Miraj did not get a wicket there but tried to recover from his failure by batting a bit. But others who were active could not play any role. Soumya Sarkar, Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mehidy Hasan Miraz got some socre. And if a team does not have the contribution of all the players then it will be difficult to win that match.
