Drama at the end and Afghanistan take the victory by the slimmest of margins and seal the series 3-0. Shafiqullah was superb on the edge to prevent the boundary and then Mohammad Nabi backed him up by throwing it to the keeper so that Bangladesh couldn't come through for the third. Brilliant finish to the match which the visitors had a sniff at winning until Mushfiqur Rahim was dismissed in the final over. Along with Mahmudullah they got so close but keeping Rashid Khan back until late was a stroke of genius.
Brilliant series result for Afghanistan but Bangladesh have a lot of questions to answer about their batting, especially against spin.
