Rahmat likely to miss 3rd ODI against Bangladesh

BSS, Dhaka :

Afghanistan batter Rahmat Shah is unlikely to play third ODI against Bangladesh due to a calf injury.

He sustained the injury during the second game but returned to the crease in a heroic attempt when Afghanistan lost nine wickets.

He could stand at the crease for just one ball before Afghanistan were bowled out for 190.

However, still his side won the game by 81 runs to take an unassailable 2-0 lead against Bangladesh.

His side is now eying a series whitewash to take the revenge of being swept in the T20 series earlier.

“He (Rahmat) unfortunately succumbed to his injury so he is out now. We will do all the right things in terms of imaging and stuff tomorrow.

I think he is going to be out for some time,” Afghanistan physio Nirmalan Thanabalasingam said.

Rahmat recently became the first Afghan batsman to score 4,000 ODI runs and had made a crucial half-century in the first match. The third ODI tomorrow at Abu Dhabi,the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
