Milestone
That's a wrap up for this ODI and the ODI series. Both teams will be back on Friday for the start of the T20I series where the first T20I will be played on that day. Do join us for that game and for all other fixtures across the globe, stick around to our network. 

For now, this is Ayan Chatterjee signing off on behalf of my co-commentators Deepak Prakash and Megh Mandaliya alongside scorers/analysts Dushyant Madhukar Kumar, and Ghanendra Singh Thakur. Stay safe, happy, and cool. Goodnight and CHEERS!   
Hashmatullah Shahidi now goes across and collects the trophy from Mr Jalaj Younus Khan. Now, he will take the trophy to his team mates for the celebrations. They deserve this win as they win the series 2-1. It was not their day today, but they win the series in the end. 
Hashmatullah Shahidi (Afghanistan Captain): "Yeah, we are happy about the performance of the team, today was a bit tough for us as we lost the game, it's part of the game and we will learn from this. I think Bangladesh played well today and they put us under pressure right from the beginning.  I won't be there for the T-20 series but my best wishes are always with the team. Special thanks to all Afghanistan fans for supporting us." 
Litton Das (Bangladesh Captain): "Yes, definitely. Before the next series we needed this and we are happy with the boys effort. Definitely. The way Taskin and Shoriful bowled at the start and Shakib and Mehidy, Taijul in the middle overs. The bowlers did the job for us. Yes, there was no run rate pressure so batted sensibly. Areas to work on for us but confident about the next series. Thank you and look forward to the T20IS." 
Fazalhaq Farooqi (Player of the Series): "First of all, congratulations to everyone back in our country. I was not bowling the right lengths in Sri Lanka and I have worked really hard on that. I realized what should I do in this series and we also had a camp in Abu Dhabi that helped me to prepare for this series."
Shoriful Islam (Player of the match): "I am pretty happy we worked hard and won this game. I have been listening to my bowling coach who rectified my errors and helped me to perform better. The bowling partnership with Taskin really helped me."
Shoriful Islam is the Player of the Match.
7:03 PM IST. 7:33 PM Local Time: A comfortable win for Bangladesh as they win this game by 7 wickets. They have outplayed their opponents in all facets of the game tonight and notch up a consolation win in this 3-match series. Afghanistan wins this series 2-1 but it is Bangladesh's night to celebrate.  

Chasing a gettable 127 for the win. Bangladesh lost Mohammad Naim early. Najmul Hossain Shanto made only 11 runs. But it was skipper Litton Das who held the innings together for his 53* off 60 balls. Shakib Al Hasan chipped in with 39 off 39 balls. Towhid Hridoy remained unbeaten on 22* off 19 balls and hit the winning runs as Bangladesh get to the target in 23.3 overs winning by 7 wickets. 

Afghanistan had a very low score to defend and tried their hearts out. Fazalhaq Farooqi was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2/26 in 5 overs. The other wicket fell to Mohammad Nabi. The others tried their best but returned home wicketless. It was too low a score to defend. 

Earlier in the game. Afghanistan won the toss and decided to bat first. But they lost wickets at regular intervals and never got going. Skipper Shahidi struggled for his 22 off 54 balls. Najibullah Zadran got to double figures. Omarzai played the lone hand and held the innings together as he scored 56 off 71 balls. But he got no support from the other end. His knock enabled Afghanistan get past the 100-run mark. Mujeeb scored 11 as Afghanistan were bowled out for 126 in 45.2 overs. 

All the Bangladesh bowlers were amongst the wickets. Shoriful Islam was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 4/21 in 9 overs. A couple of wickets apiece for Taskin Ahmed, and Taijul Islam who bowled well. A wicket also for Shakib Al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Shakib bowled a very miserly spell today. All in all, a disciplined bowling performance from Bangladesh to win this game by 7 wickets. 

So, Bangladesh win by 7 wickets and carry some momentum into the T20I series. Stick around for the presentations that comes your way soon.
