Bangladesh A cricket team kept alive their hope of clinching the five-match unofficial ODI series as they beat Afghanistan A by seven wickets in the third game at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong Wednesday.
The visiting side now lead 2-1, having won the first two matches, and will play the home side in the fourth and penultimate game at BKSP in Savar Saturday.
Asked to bat first, Bangladesh A bowlers were in rampaging mood as they skittled the opposition out for 122 in 32.4 overs, national seamer Abu Jayed leading the way with four wickets.
Spinner Mahedi Hasan took three scalps while pacer Abu Haider and spinner Nazmul Islam bagged one apiece.
