Rashid Khan continues to dish out splendid performances with the ball as he once again had Bangladesh batsmen on the back-foot. During the second T20 International between Afghanistan and Bangladesh, Rashid returned figures of 4/12 from his quota of four overs. The spinner came to bowl in the 11th over with Bangladesh’s score reading 81 for three. However, in his third over, which was Bangladesh innings’ 16th over, the spinner bamboozled the opponents as he scalped three wickets.

Rashid removed the dangerous of Shakib al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal besides trapping Mosaddek Hossain in front of the wickets to leave Bangladesh reeling at 103 for seven. At that moment Tamim was well set on 43 and Bangladesh were looking good for a 150 plus total. Rashid on the first ball had Bangladesh skipper caught at long-on. He then bowled Tamim and removed Mosaddek on back to back balls to give himself a chance to pick a hat-trick. Though that was not the case as Abu Hider managed to keep the hat-trick ball way.
