Afghanistan are playing the Asia Cup for the first time
Afghanistan put up a brilliant performance to upset hosts Bangladesh by 32 runs in the Asia Cup match at Fatullah on Saturday March 01,2014
The victory marked the Afghans' first win over a Test-playing country in four one-day matches. They had previously lost both their ODIs against Pakistan and one against Australia.
Afghanistan rode on a brilliant unbeaten career best 90 by Asghar Stanikzai and a punishing 69-ball 81 by Samiullah Shenwari to post a challenging 254 for six before bowling out their rivals for 222 in 47.5 overs
Samiullah Shenwari and Asghar Stanikzai put on 164 runs for the sixth wicket
Bangladesh, who lost their opening match to India, never looked settled in their run-chase
