Bangladesh hope to level series against Afghanistan as they hit playground for 2nd game of 3-match ODI series today. The match will kick off at 4 pm Bangladesh Standard Time at Sharja.
A batting meltdown, which saw them losing last eight wickets for just 23 runs, caused Bangladesh's 92-run defeat in the first match. The batting debacle was not though new to Bangladesh of late. But the thing has been chronic and even a diehard fan hardly believes that Bangladesh could bounce back from this stage now.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz, the vital cog of Bangladesh team, however, didn't ponder so, claiming that the defeat was not a mental breakdown. Pressure will be on Bangladesh in the second match as they knew that a defeat would hand them second straight series defeat against the Afghans.
