Twitter applauds Birthday boy Rashid Khan”s batting effort against Bangladesh

Afghanistan posted a mammoth 255/7 against Bangladesh in the final game of the group stage. Rashid Khan, the birthday boy has played a gem of an innings that surged the scores all of a sudden.

Though Bangladeshi bowlers gave their best right from the start, they leaked runs towards the end of third powerplay. Gulabdin Naib and Rashid took the responsibility after a minimal contribution from the middle order. Rashid”s 57 included 8 boundaries and a six at a scintialling strike rate of 178.

Barring the above players, only Shahidi steadied the innings as he scored 58 off 92 deliveries.

The chase is going to be a herculean task for the Tigers as Tamim and Rahim aren”t a part of the game today. With the dangerous spin duo, Afghanistan will look forward to finishing the group on the top today.

Twitter hailed Rashid Khan for his blitz and several legends wished the little man on his 20th birthday.
