Bangladesh has won all three of its recent away matches against Afghanistan, including one in the Asia Cup and two in the current T20I series. Today, they will compete in the final T20I, and a victory will give the Tigers a clean sweep over the Afghans. Zakir Ali’s team has already clinched the series with two straight wins.
Bangladesh will be aiming for another win, while Afghanistan is also seeking a victory. With the series already secured, the Tigers have the opportunity to make changes to their playing XI for the final match. Sheikh Mahedi Hasan, who did not play in the first two matches, could enter the lineup, potentially replacing Rishad Hossain.
In addition, Tanjim Hasan Shakib can be played in the pace unit with Mustafizur Rahman. Again, the pair of Tanjid Hasan Tamim and Parvez Hossain Emon clicked well in the first match in the batting unit. Tanjid-Emon walked the opposite way in the second match. However, Bangladesh can trust this pair in the opening match as well.
Saif Hasan is set to bat at three, Zaker Ali Anik at four, and Shamim Hossain Patwary at five. Nurul Hasan Sohan, a standout in the first two matches, will likely be at six, emerging as the team’s key finisher.
Nasum Ahmed can pair with Mahedi in the spin unit. 3 pacers – Tanzim Hasan Shakib, Shariful Islam, and Mohammad Saifuddin can be with him. The third match of the three-match T20 series between Afghanistan and Bangladesh will start at 8:30 PM Bangladesh time at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
A possible starting eleven for both teams:
Bangladesh: Tanjid Hasan Tamim, Parvez Hossain Emon, Saif Hasan, Nurul Hasan Sohan, Shamim Hossain Patwary, Zaker Ali Anik (captain and wicketkeeper), Sheikh Mehedi Hasan, Tanjim Hasan Shakib, Mohammad Saifuddin, Nasum Ahmed, and Shoriful Islam.
Afghanistan: Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Sediqullah Atal, Ibrahim Zadran, Darwish Rasuli, Mohammad Nabi, Azmatullah Omarzai, Rashid Khan (captain), Noor Ahmed, Mujib Ur Rahman, Farid Ahmed Malik, Abdullah Ahmedzai.
