Dark day for Bangladesh cricket!
Bangladesh is the first ever team to lose a Test match against all 10 Test playing nations. #BANvAFG#PKMKB

Dark day for @BCBtigers . Underestimating an opponent, who learned their cricket in the refugee camps of #Peshawar #Pakistan will not go down well with the local public. Well-played @ACBofficials kudos to you. #Cricket #BANvAFG #Bangladesh

Magnificent win!
Just brilliant from Afghanistan. Had 18.3 overs to get 4 wickets with 2 batsmen and did it with overs to spare. Magnificent game for @rashidkhan_19 but how good was everyone else. Their great story continues.

Beautiful moment!
Rashid Khan dedicates his Man of The Match award to Nabi, who is retiring from Test cricket. Also calls him up to pick up the award alongside him. Beautiful! This pair has and will take Afghanistan cricket places. #BANvAFG
