One-off Test: Afghanistan vs Bangladesh Day 5 Live Score

Afghanistan’s chase against Bangladesh entered a nail-biting final phase on Day 5, with the hosts clinging to a slim chance of victory as the match stretched into its 137th over. The Afghan innings, totalling 326 for 8, saw key contributions from Qais Ahmad (29 off 62 balls) and Yamin Ahmadzai (19 off 85), though Bangladesh’s bowlers—led by Mehidy Hasan Miraz—applied relentless pressure.

Miraz, in particular, showcased sharp reflexes with a sensational catch to dismiss Ahmadzai, while earlier in the over, the same batsman had edged a boundary past fine leg after a tight delivery. Bangladesh’s bowlers, including Nayeem Hasan, also targeted Qais Ahmad with short, full deliveries, though the Afghan opener resisted with a mix of blocks and controlled strokes, including a near-miss when a ball bounced just over the stumps.

With the game hanging in the balance, Bangladesh’s bowlers will need to maintain their intensity to secure a historic win in this one-off Test.
