After Afghanistan posted a total of 190, Bangladesh was bowled out for just 109 runs. This comprehensive win allowed Afghanistan to clinch the series, showcasing their dominance throughout.

### A Brilliant Bowling Spell

Rashid was introduced into the attack in the 12th over. Although wicketless in his first two overs, he soon made an impact. In his third over, he got the breakthrough as Towhid Hridoy fell to a wild slog.

Rashid’s sixth over was particularly effective, picking up two crucial wickets by dismissing Nurul Hasan and Tanzim Hasan Sakib. He continued his onslaught in the eighth over by removing Tanvir Islam, and in the ninth, he secured another wicket with Rishad Hossain stumped.

### Milestone Achieved: Maiden Five-Wicket Haul Against Bangladesh

This five-wicket haul marked Rashid Khan’s sixth in ODIs and his first against Bangladesh. His career ODI stats now include 207 wickets from 116 matches at an impressive average of 19.87, with an economy rate of 4.21. Additionally, he boasts six four-wicket hauls.

Against Bangladesh specifically, Rashid has taken 32 wickets in 18 matches at an average of 20.65. In UAE conditions, he has been particularly devastating, claiming 66 wickets from 26 matches at an exceptional average of 13.03, including three five-wicket hauls.

### Historic Feat for Afghanistan

Rashid Khan is now the second Afghan bowler to record a five-wicket haul against Bangladesh in ODIs. The other is young talent Allah Ghazanfar, who holds the record with figures of 6/26.
