(MENAFN- Pajhwok Afghan News) KABUL (Pajhwok): Bangladesh on Sunday clinched two matches T20 series against Afghanistan beating the host by six wickets in the rain-hit match played in Sylhet, Bangladesh, according to a media report.

After winning the toss, Bangladesh invited Afghanistan to bat and the host side was unable to put impressive play in the field, the ESPNcricinfo said.

Afghanistan batters put 116 at the loss of seven wickets in 17 overs when the rain interrupted the play.

A combination of fine new-ball bowling from Taskin Ahmed and a quickfire batting powerplay display by Das and Hossain did the trick, Bangladesh eventually knocking off a revised target of 119 from 17 overs with five balls to spare.

Against Afghanistan, Bangladesh had previously lost a T20I series in 2018 in Dehradun and tied a two-match series at home last year.
