Afghanistan are taking on Bangladesh in the third ODI at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah on November 11. Bangladesh won the toss and invited Afghanistan to bowl. The hosts managed to pluck the Bangladesh batters at regular intervals as Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mahmudullah tried forging a partnership to unsettle the opposition.

As they were rebuilding the innings, a hilarious incident took place on the field. Rashid Khan was trying to stop a single and was chasing the ball. At the same time, wicketkeeper Rahmanullah Gurbaz was also interested. As Rashid slid to stop the ball, Gurbaz hopped over him to avoid the clash while the former’s hat flipped out of the head during the process.

Here’s the video of the incident:

It is worth noting that, the three-match ODI series is being held in UAE. The series is poised at 1-1 with the ongoing third ODI set to decide the winner. Moreover, Mehidy Hasan is leading the Bangladesh side in the crucial encounter as regular skipper, Najmul Hossain Shanto, missed the game due to a groin injury.

“We’ll bat first. The wicket looks good in the first innings. A good moment for me (to play the 100th ODI). Two changes. Najmul Hossain Shanto got injured, and Taskin Ahmed is not playing. Zakir Khan and Nahid Rana are playing,” said Bangladesh’s stand-in skipper, Mehidy at the toss.

After the troubled start, Bangladesh, helped by Mahmudullah and Mehidy Hasan’s partnership got back to a steady position. Moreover, after Mehidy was dismissed for 66 off 119, Mahmudullah continued the fight and was dismissed on the final ball of the innings. He scored 98 runs and was run out trying to steal another run as Bangladesh wrapped up their innings on 244/8.
