The third and final match of the ongoing three One-Day International (ODI) series between Bangladesh and Afghanistan will take place tomorrow in Chattogram, which also hosted the first two encounters.
Afghanistan have already gained an unassailable 2-0 lead and would look to white-wash the hosts to clinch the series 3-0.
Team Preview
Bangladesh
Bangladesh have rarely been outclassed in home conditions. In the ongoing 3-ODI series, the Litton Das-led XI have struggled across departments, which is the cause of concern for the nation keeping in mind the Cricket World Cup 2023.
All their senior pros, like Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and Das, have been disappointed and will look to play for pride on Tuesday.
Afghanistan
Afghanistan are a force-to-reckon with, in the white-ball format in subcontinental conditions. With the CWC 2023 scheduled in India, the Hashmatullah Shahid-led side have been formidable across departments.
Young players like Ibrahim Zadran, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, and Fazalhaq Farooqi have stood up and managed to light up the world stage. Interestingly, Afghanistan's strike-force Rashid Khan has been kept quiet, making his series victory even more enriching.
