Afghanistan Vs Bangladesh Highlights, One-Off Test, Day 3: Day 3 of the one-off Test saw Bangladesh seize firm control after a dramatic collapse and a tense evening session. Afghanistan’s innings unraveled spectacularly as they lost their final six wickets for just 21 runs, tumbling to 240 all out. Rahmat Shah stood tall with a sublime, disciplined century, but Hasan Mahmud stole the headlines with a devastating five-wicket haul featuring a hat-trick, supported by Ebadot’s four scalps, handing Bangladesh a crucial 106-run first-innings lead. In their second turn, Bangladesh suffered early wobbles before captain Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim steadied the ship with a gritty, century-level partnership. Both batters played with exemplary poise to notch fifties, steering the hosts toward safety. However, a flurry of late twilight wickets—sparked by a soft dismissal and Qais Ahmad’s sharp-turning delivery that bowled Shanto—revived Afghan hopes. With the pitch deteriorating fast, Day 4 promises high drama.
