Shifting our focus to the second T20I, Afghanistan could post only 147/5 in 20 overs. Ibrahim Zadran was the star batter with 38 runs from 37 balls with three fours and a six. Nasum Ahmed and Rishad Hossain scalped two wickets apiece.

In reply, Bangladesh sealed the deal in 19.1 overs with two wickets in hand. Shamim Hossain (33), Jaker Ali (32), and Nurul Hasan (31*) were impressive in the chase. Azmatullah Omarzai's four-wicket haul went in vain for Afghanistan.
