Bangladesh and Afghanistan are all set to lock horns in the third and final match of the three-match ODI series between both teams. The Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram will play host to this game on Tuesday, July 11.
The hosts did not have a great time under the leadership of their new skipper Litton Das as the team succumbed to their second consecutive defeat of the series by a massive 142-run margin.
Bangladesh will be looking to put on a better show in the third and final match of the series and take some momentum before heading into the shortest format of the game.
Afghanistan, on the other hand, will be eyeing a clean sweep in the third ODI of the series after a dominant display of performance in both departments. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran were the star performers for the team with the bat. However, the opening duo will be seeking more contributions from the middle order in the upcoming game.
After being asked to bat, the opening pair of Rahmanullah Gurbaz (145) and Ibrahim Zadran (100) stitched an important 256-run opening stand as the visitors finished on 331/9 after 50 overs.
In response, Fazalhaq Farooqi and Mujeeb ur Rahman picked up three wickets apiece as the home team got bundled for just 189 runs and lost the series with a game to go.
