PREVIEW

Bangladesh aims for a consolation victory in the third and concluding ODI against Afghanistan on Tuesday at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

Afghanistan secured a series lead of 2-0 after an 81-run win in the second match, largely due to captain Rashid Khan’s five-wicket performance. Although Afghanistan managed only 190 runs, Ibrahim Zadran’s 140-ball 95 was crucial. Rashid’s success with the ball and Azmatullah Omarzai’s three early wickets hindered Bangladesh’s chase, resulting in a comfortable victory for Afghanistan.

Earlier in the series opener, Afghanistan won by five wickets while pursuing a target of 222 runs.
