After losing the one-off Test against Bangladesh on their multi-format tour, Afghanistan started the ODI series against the hosts on a positive note as they𝓰 won the first ODI at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium by 17 runs via Duckworth Lewis☂ Method (DLS).
Asked to bat first, Bangladesh struggled to post a formidable🉐 total and managed to reach 169/9 in the rain-reduced 43 overs match. Towhid Hridoy was the standout performer for the home team, scoring a gritty half-century (51 runs off 69 balls) with the support of Litton Das (26 runs off 35 balls). However, the reꩵst of the batting lineup ღfailed to contribute significantly.
