That is it from another cracking game of cricket. Two games on super sunday were poles apart. India trampled Pakistan where as Bangladesh had to flex every muscle to eke out a victory by only 3 runs. How good is Mustafizur? Ponder over it as I take a leave!

Mahmudullah, Man of the Match: I think the weather was quite hot today. I am feeling dried up. We crossed the line and that is pleasing. We knew they got some big hitters and got a partnership in the middle, so good we came out on top.

Mashrafe Mortaza: At the end of the game Mustafizur was like a magician. It was difficult to defend 8 runs. Credit goes to Mustafizur.

Asghar Afghan: Congrats to Bangladesh for this victory. We required 8 off 6 and it was not difficult specially when Shenwari, one of our main batsman in the death overs was batting.

Bangladesh against Pakistan now will be a virtual semi-final. It also means India have qualified for the finale of Asia Cup 2018.

Shenwari misses the final ball. Bangladesh win by 3 runs. Afghanistan have been knocked out. Absolute drama.The short ball angled away and Shenwari trying to pull, missed it and the bat slipped out of his hands. Rahim does a jig as well.

5 needed off 2 balls.

Well..Rashid is caught and bowled. More drama. 6 needed off 4 balls now.

8 needed off the final over. All my fingers have no nails now.

Six and gone. Nabi falls for a quickfire 38 off 28 balls.Slammed a six off the previous ball over long-off and in trying to repeat it, is caught at long-off. The fielder slides to his left and takes it. 12 needed off 10 balls. Rashid walks in.

Bangladesh review but review lost as there was a glove on it as the batsman went across the line. And then a four off the final ball off the 48th over. 19 needed off the final 2 overs.

Shenwari biffs one over long-on! 35 off 22 now.Length ball from Mashrafe and Shenwari went big to loft it over long-on.

Short, wide, slashed..four..43 needed off 25 balls. Nabi picks a four off the Fizz!

51 needed off the final 5. Who are you guys punting on? My twitter id is working.

An excellent review from Shenwari as he survives an LBW scare. Went for a reverse sweep against Shakib and missed it. The on-field umpire had given it out only to be over-turned as the ball was going down leg.

match.... It's all depend on How Batsman perform against 2 best world class spinner @rashidkhan_19 and ....

Liton Das and Nazmul Hossain have been persisted with. Imrul in all likelihood will bat at number 3.

Another hot day at Abu Dhabi. Aftab Alam I guess has exorcised the ghosts of the previous game. He will have to lift his game today for Afghanistan to stay in contention.

Bangladesh have won the toss and will bat first!They have two changes and Afghanistan have made one change.Samiullah Shenwari comes in place of Najibullah Zadran. Nazmul Islam and Imrul Kayes come in for Bangladesh.

Hello and welcome to game number 4 in the Super Four. Afghanistan are taking on Bangladesh and the loser will in all probability be left with no chances of making it to the finale. So, do I need to tell you more reasons as to why this game is about winner takes it all.
