Rashid Khan's Match-Winning 5/17 Seals ODI Series Victory for Afghanistan

Gujarat Titans spinner Rashid Khan delivered a devastating spell for Afghanistan, securing a massive 81-run victory over Bangladesh in the second ODI and sealing an unassailable 2-0 series lead. In a low-scoring affair, Rashid proved unplayable, tearing through the Bangladeshi lineup to finish with exceptional figures of 5/17 in 8.3 overs.

Rashid's performance was instrumental in defending a modest total, showcasing why he remains one of the most feared spinners in world cricket. His ability to maintain a consistent line and length, coupled with his experience, proved too challenging for the opposition batters, who struggled to build partnerships throughout the chase.

Bangladesh's spin bowling coach, Mushtaq Ahmed, acknowledged Rashid's match-winning quality, noting that his batters were playing the reputation of the bowler rather than the ball itself. This dominant display outside the IPL circuit confirms Rashid Khan's elite form heading into the next domestic season.
