Najmul Hossain and Mominul Haque smashed quickfire tons as Bangladesh closed in on a victory in the one-off Test against Afghanistan after setting up an improbable 662-run target for the opponent on Friday.
Najmul followed his 146 from the first innings with 124, making him the second Bangladesh batter to hit a century in both innings of a Test, while Mominul, the first Bangladeshi to achieve the feat, brought up his first century since April 2021 with an unbeaten 121 as Bangladesh declared its second innings on 425-4.
