Bangladesh will be desperate to salvage pride as they head into the third and final ODI against Afghanistan at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. Having already lost the first two matches of the series, the Tigers are staring down the barrel of a 3-0 whitewash, a result that would dent their confidence ahead of upcoming assignments.

The batting unit has struggled to build momentum, with top-order collapses and inconsistent middle-order contributions proving costly. Afghanistan, on the other hand, have looked sharp and composed, capitalizing on Bangladesh’s errors and showcasing depth in both spin and pace departments.
