As an Indian I wish both countries well, but this marvellous Test match between Afghanistan & Bangladesh, with BGD fielding an all-spin attack & AFG's 20yr-old captain @rashidkhan_19 capturing 11 wickets, has been great for cricket. What a sport, what joy! https://t.co/LXZAziboyc

20-year-old Rashid Khan dedicated his Man of the Match award to Mohammed Nabi who will hang up his boots after this test match. “We won this game against a side like Bangladesh. We are new to this format, so credit goes to the coaching staff for their support. Everyone applied themselves and stuck to their plans. Credit goes to the batsmen who batted so well in the first innings and the youngsters for the way they bowled. The youngsters are applying their plans and learning from their mistakes,” he said. With this Bangladesh became the first team to lose a Test against 10 different nations
