All the first four wickets have been picked up by the 21-year old pacer who recently played for Minister Dhaka in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). 

Bangladeshi batters seem to have no clue to his bowling where they actually prepared for the spin trio of the visitors. 

Farooqi first bagged Litton Das's wicket who was caught behind after a successful review. Skipper Tamim was the next to go trapped LBW, this too was a successful review by the Afghans.

Mushfiqur Rahim was adjudged LBW in the next over, he reviewed only to lose it. 

Debutant Yasir Ali seemed uncomfortable and Farooqi uprooted his off stump.

Shakib Al Hasan was the last to go as he ended up inside-edging it onto his off-stump

The left-arm pacer only playing his second ODI after making his debut against the Netherlands in January this year. 

At the time of writing this report, Bangladesh 28 for 5 after 8 overs.
