Bangladesh and Afghanistanare taking each other on in the third and final T20I of the series at Sharjah today, with Bangladesh already holding an unassailable 2-0 lead. The coin flip for the match also went in Bangladesh's way as they decided to let Afghanistan bat first. Both teams made just one change in their playing 11 from the last match.
The visitors have displayed excellent balance, winning both previous matches with efficient chases and targeting Afghanistan’s vulnerable bowling attack at the death. Jaker Ali, Shamim Hossain and Nurul Hasan have been game-changers for Bangladesh, who now eye a clean sweep in the UAE. Afghanistan, meanwhile, have struggled with consistency, especially in batting and death bowling, and will be fighting for pride in the final match.
The Sharjah pitch has aided spinners and kept batters cautious, so runs will be hard-earned. Expect Afghanistan to bring aggression and Bangladesh to push for a dominant finish to the series.
