Afghanistan wins the first match of a three-match one-day international series as they beat the Netherlands by 36 runs. The right arm leg break bowler expert, Rashid khan pulls Afghanistan down by taking 3 wickets and bagging the first win of the series in Doha on Friday.<\/p>\n
Scores of Hashmatullah Shahidi (73) and Rahmat Shah (70) benefitted Afghanistan to reach the scoreboard of 222-8 after losing the toss and put to bat first.<\/p>\n
But Dutch bowlers like Fred Klaassen taking 2-39 and Brandon Glover taking 3-43, held the Netherlands team strong and did not let Afghanistan reach beyond 222 runs.<\/p>\n
Netherlands wicketkeeper and batsman, Scott Edwards kept the hope steady for the team by scoring 68 off 82 balls as they had a great start to reach their target by 121-3.<\/p>\n
But Afghanistan\u2019s right-arm off-break bowler, Mujeeb Ur Rahman shatters the hope of the Netherlands by dismissing Scott Edwards in the 31st over that disintegrated them to 186 all out.<\/p>\n
Netherland\u2019s Captain Pieter Seelaar also contributed 32 runs before he got dismissed by Yamin Ahmadzai, leaving the team to chase 71 runs off the last 10 overs.<\/p>\n
The second match of the series is held on Sunday following the final match on January 25. The series is a part of the World Cup Super League, which will decide the qualifiers for the ICC World Cup 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
