Bangladesh lost their first ODI at Abu Dhabi against Afghanistan

Azmatullah Omarzai's allround performance took Afghanistan to a five-wicket win against Bangladesh in the first ODI in Abu Dhabi. Bangladesh captain Mehedi Hasan Miraz said, every series is important for Bangladesh until the World Cup. Loss in the first ODI of the series against Afghanistan is a bit of a worry. After the loss of five wickets, however, captain Mehedi Hasan Miraz regretted not being able to score a big runs by the batter. There wasn't enough runs on the scoreboard. Would have been better if you could have done 260+ on this wicket. There were less than forty runs. We've got to make a play. In the end, we couldn’t make a good pairing,” he added.

“I think we lost several wickets in the first 15 overs,” said Bangladesh captain Mehedi Hasan Miraz at the end of the match. The wicket was difficult to bat, the turn was also taking place."

"But at times, he played well," said Miraz. He played a cold-blooded innings under pressure. He played positive cricket in the face of the situation. Our problem is that we didn't make a good pair at the end."

“Of course, we still have two chances left. There is a chance to be better. I hope we can learn from here. I'm confident the boys will do well in the next game."
