Match overview
Bangladesh’s declaration left Afghanistan chasing 479 in the one-off Abu Dhabi Test, after Litton Das scored 102 in the second innings. On 13 October, the ICC match centre showed Afghanistan at 200 for 3 after 75.2 overs in the first session of day five. That was the displayed state when checked at 13:21 IST, not a completed result.

Litton and Mehidy shape the target
Bangladesh made 346 in their first innings and dismissed Afghanistan for 240. The 106-run first-innings advantage gave the visitors a platform for their second innings, which ended at 372 for 7 declared. The resulting target was 479. ICC match centre
ESPNcricinfo’s October 12 report describes the innings that set up the final day. Litton scored 102 and added 149 for the seventh wicket with Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who remained unbeaten on 51. Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto declared after Litton’s dismissal. Those are preceding-day batting details, rather than new scores from the October 13 session. ESPNcricinfo day-four report
Afghanistan’s resistance on day five
The displayed 200/3 left Afghanistan needing another 279 with seven wickets remaining. Sediqullah Atal was listed on 64 from 211 balls and Ikram Alikhil on 32 from 61. Their innings showed that Afghanistan were still resisting the target, but not that the match had been saved or won. ICC scorecard
The same scorecard marked Hashmatullah Shahidi retired hurt on 20. That notation does not establish a medical diagnosis or whether he would return; no injury explanation or selection conclusion is inferred here. Rahmat Shah had been dismissed for 51, a wicket also covered in the earlier match report.
For Bangladesh, Ebadot Hossain was listed with two wickets for 40 and Hasan Mahmud with one for 34 in the chase. Those figures belong to the 75.2-over scorecard view, not to a final bowling analysis. The October 13 Nepal–Oman ODI snapshot illustrates another national-team format and likewise keeps its score tied to a stated observation time.
A one-off Test, not a series result
The ICC identifies this fixture as the one-off Test at Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi, beginning on October 9 and reaching its fifth day on October 13. It should not be described as a multi-match Test-series victory while play is still in progress.
Readers comparing national-team Tests with limited-overs cricket can use the existing International Cricket ID guide for format terminology. It is separate from official board or ICC match information. For the separate Bangladesh franchise competition, the Bangladesh Premier League guide covers domestic T20 context, not this national-team Test.
The final-day story remains the contest between Bangladesh’s large target and Afghanistan’s remaining wickets. A winning margin, draw, late partnership or table consequence requires a completed official match record. This report is a timestamped snapshot and does not provide automatic live updates.
