| 1-Bangladesh's decision to bowl was vindicated off the very first ball when Mohammad Shahzad went for an ill-advised slog and was caught in the covers |
 |
| 2-Shakib Al Hasan pushed the hosts' advantage with two wickets in the fifth over as the Mirpur pitch offered considerable turn and bounce |
 |
| 3-Sabbir Rahman, who had dropped a dolly earlier, ran out Nawroz Mangal with a direct hit and the score flagged to 36 for 4 |
 |
| 4-There were very little contributions further down as Afghanistan were bundled out for 72, their lowest T20 total |
 |
| 5-Tamim Iqbal took the chase off to a bright start |
 |
| 6-Afghanistan's frustration boiled over as Shahzad and Dawlat Zadran were involved in verbal altercations prompting the umpires to intervene |
 |
| 7-However, Anamul Haque was not perturbed as he struck a 33-ball 44. His third six of the innings sealed the game for Bangladesh |
