Afghanistan have defeated Bangladesh in the Twenty20 format by 25 runs in the Tri-Nation Series at Dhaka on Sunday and broke their previous record of 11 consecutive T20 International wins. Afghanistan spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman shared the reason behind their win.

“All these training camps that we had (prior to the tour) was to have an unbeaten tour, though, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe are very good team,” Mujeeb told reporters. “We have a very good team and unity. The T20 team is a very good team, that’s why we won the 12 matches consecutively.”

“We are doing well as the younger players are coming, including me, and they are supporting each other in the training and in the match as well. We are also enjoying our game apart from supporting each other and this spirit takes us to victories,” he said. “There was no problem. Rashid was just asking about the lighting. Everyone turned on their mobile light (flash light). That’s why… there was no problem.”

On the other hand, Bangladesh showed a dismal performance in the series so far.

“It’s happening like in every match – one or two players are performing while most of the others are not. For any successful side, most of the players perform and one or two fails,” Bangladesh captain said. “At the end of the day it is a team sport and we are not playing as a team and that is why winning is becoming more difficult for us. They are a big team in T20 cricket. They are ranked number seventh while we are at ranked 10th. West Indies and Sri Lanka are above us and we beat them sometimes.”

“But you have to say we have given them the match because at one stage we could have grabbed the game with two hands, which we did not do,” he said. “We suffered a lot, conceded 15-16 extra runs and that put us behind. After all these mistakes, the difference is only 25 runs. If we can reduce these mistakes we will have more winning opportunity. We still have two matches. Zimbabwe have lost two matches in two, it’ll be difficult for them. I am pretty confident our team has the ability to play in the final,” he concluded.
