先日、初めて入った定食屋でのことです。注文のために女性店員さんに席まで来てもらったのですが、メニュー名を読み上げようとしたとき、喉が詰まってしまい、思わず「えっと、その…」とつまずいてしまいました。

普段ならすらすらと言えるはずのメニュー名が、なぜか急に言えなくなることがありますよね。そんな自分の戸惑いに気づいた店員さんも、優しく微笑んでくれて、なんとか注文を終えることができました。

言葉に詰まる瞬間は誰にでもありますが、それを受け止めてくれる周囲の温かさに、改めて感謝の気持ちを感じました。

Afghanistan beat Bangladesh in 3rd ODI, complete clean sweep: Stats

**Afghanistan Complete Clean Sweep Against Bangladesh with 200-Run Victory in 3rd ODI**

*By Rajdeep Saha | October 15, 2025*

Afghanistan has sealed a commanding clean sweep in the three-match ODI series against Bangladesh, clinching the final game by a massive margin of 200 runs. The match, held in Abu Dhabi, showcased Afghanistan’s dominant performance both with the bat and ball.

Afghanistan posted a formidable total of 293 runs for nine wickets, before spectacularly dismissing Bangladesh for just 93 runs. This series victory mirrors Bangladesh’s recent T20I success over Afghanistan by the same 3-0 margin earlier this month, highlighting the competitive nature between the two sides in limited-overs cricket.

**Strong Start and Middle-Order Resilience**

Afghanistan’s innings began positively, with openers Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmanullah Gurbaz putting together a solid 99-run opening partnership. However, after Gurbaz’s dismissal, Afghanistan experienced a mini-collapse, losing four wickets for just 15 runs in 25 balls. Despite this middle-order wobble, a late surge from Mohammad Nabi ensured Afghanistan reached a challenging total.

Nabi’s explosive hitting in the final overs was the highlight of the innings. He smashed three sixes in four balls off Mehidy Hasan Miraz and followed that with a six and three boundaries against Hasan Mahmud, propelling Afghanistan past the 290-run mark.

**Key Performers with the Bat**

Ibrahim Zadran played a pivotal role with a brilliant 95-run knock, anchoring the innings. Meanwhile, Mohammad Nabi emerged as the chief architect of the late surge, scoring a swift 62 runs off just 37 balls. His timely assault transformed what looked like a par score of 250-260 into a commanding total, setting a tough target for Bangladesh to chase.

**Spin Magic Cripples Bangladesh’s Batting**

Afghanistan’s bowling was equally impressive, spearheaded by star spinner Rashid Khan. Rashid dismantled Bangladesh’s top order by taking three wickets in his first three overs, including the prized scalp of Towhid Hridoy on the very first ball of the innings. This early strike put Bangladesh under immense pressure.

Bilal Sami then dominated the middle and lower order with an outstanding spell, claiming five wickets to run through the Bangladesh batting lineup. His relentless bowling helped bowl out Bangladesh for a mere 93 runs, sealing a comprehensive victory for Afghanistan.

With this emphatic win, Afghanistan not only completed a clean sweep but also demonstrated their growing prowess in international cricket. The series victory will surely boost their confidence heading into future challenges.

The World’s Most Popular Emoji Revealed

The result highlights how a simple facial expression has become a universal way for users around the world to express puzzlement, sarcasm, or resignation.

When asked about their favorite emoji, many respondents said they often use a crying face “because it’s cute” or a sleepy one “when I’m tired.” However, it is the puzzled-looking emoji that dominates usage across regions, particularly among Generation Z users.

“It’s the most popular one; everyone uses it,” said one participant from Malaysia. Another, from China’s Fujian Province, described it as “a cute, moe face,” while a man from Shandong Province explained that his sister often used it to “mock” him.

The emoji ranked first in countries including the United States and France, with users typically employing it to convey feelings of confusion or disbelief. “It’s a ‘Why?’ face,” said another user from Fujian.

Other popular emojis also reflect nuanced emotional communication. “This is the one I use a lot,” said a user from Hong Kong, referring to a resigned-looking face. “It means something like ‘Oh well.’ I also use a crying face a lot, especially when I’m tired of studying or have too much homework and want to complain to friends.”

These findings underscore how emojis have become a language of their own — a powerful tool for expressing feelings that transcend cultural and linguistic boundaries.
