Bangladesh conceded a five-wicket defeat in the first ODI before tasting another crushing defeat in the second match by 81 runs after being bundled out for 109, giving Afghanistan an unassailable 2-0 lead.
The visiting Bangladesh side came into the ODI series, high on confidence following a clean sweep in the three-match T20 series against the same opponent. But now they are on the brink of tasting a reverse result.
The reckless batting was the chief reason for their series debacle. While the same issue also hampered them in the T20 series, they somehow managed to win it but in ODI, they appeared to be clueless. In fact their ODI performance was dismal even before the Afghanistan series.
After those two defeats at the hands of Afghanistan, Bangladesh lost 10 ODIs in the last 11 matches, a stat that widely exposed their shaky state in a format, which was often dubbed as their strongest fortress.
Bangladesh (Playing XI): Saif Hassan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, Mohammad Naim, Mehidy Hasan Miraz(c), Nurul Hasan(w), Shamim Hossain, Rishad Hossain, Tanvir Islam, Hasan Mahmud, Nahid Rana
