Bangladesh have opened their World Cup campaign in style with a dominant six-wicket win against Afghanistan in Dharamsala. But his partnership of 97 for the fourth wicket with Shanto set the platform for Bangladesh to maintain their perfect record against Afghanistan in ODI World Cups. The Bangladeshi bowlers dismantled the Afghan batting line-up, picking up 9 wickets for just 73 runs in the next 22 overs. As the innings progressed, the Bangladeshi seam bowlers, led by Shoriful Islam, also made significant inroads into the Afghan batting lineup. Rahmanullah Gurbaz was the top scorer for Afghanistan with a well-compiled 47, but the other batters couldn't offer much support.
