Bangladesh captain Shakib al Hasan again proved a thorn in Afghanistan's side at the World Cup as he sparked a batting collapse in Dharamshala Saturday.
Afghanistan, who had been relatively well-placed at 47/1 and 112/2 after being sent into bat, lost their last eight wickets for 44 runs as they were dismissed for just 156 with more than 12 overs to spare.
Left-arm spinner Shakib, who in the corresponding World Cup fixture four years ago took 5/29 in Bangladesh's 62-run win, claimed the opening two wickets Saturday in a return of 3/30 in eight overs.
Shakib also had a good day in the field as captain, with his bowling changes soon producing wickets.
Fellow spinner Mehedi Hasan Miraz took 3/25 from nine overs as several Afghanistan batsmen gave their wickets away.
Only opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz, with 47, offered much in the way of resistance before, seemingly frustrated at the lack of support from the other end, he holed out off paceman Mustafizur Rahman to Tanzid Hasan in the covers.
Afghanistan's plight was summed up when tailender Mujeeb Ur Rahman walked out to bat without wearing a box or athletic protector.
Shakib earlier won the toss and elected to field.
"It's a chasing ground and there should be some help for the seamers early on," said Shakib at the toss.
"It's exciting to represent your country for the fifth time in the World Cup. We have got the team to perform well. It's important to start well."
