Zohur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium

Afghanistan will be quite confident after winning their first ODI series against Bangladesh. We know how dangerous a side they are in white-ball cricket, and they have put on clinical performances in back-to-back games, despite the fact that they were destroyed in the one-off Test by the same opposition last month. Bangladesh would be eager to make up for their disappointing performances in both games.

Credit goes to Gurbaz (145 runs) and Ibrahim Zadran (100) who had a record breaking 256 runs first wicket partnership. Except for these, no batter reached a good scoring run. Afghanistan was successful in reaching the 300+ mark.

Now both the teams will lock the horns on Tuesday for the last third ODI of the series. Afghanistan is looking for a first clean sweep whereas hosts would like to win just a match for their pride at the home ground.

Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Chance of winning

Bangladesh came in the series with a high enthusiasm as they beat the visitors with 546 runs in one and only test match. In the white ball cricket, they failed to take advantage of the situation. They lost the first ODI with 17 runs as per the DLS method where they scored just 169 runs in 43 overs. In the second ODI, hosts bowled out at a score of 189 runs while facing the target of 331 runs. Although the team is strong at their home ground, being a formidable opponent at their home ground they defeated teams like India and Ireland at their home ground. We hope this match will be in favor of the hosts.

Towhid Hridoy is in good touch as he scored 51 runs and top scorer in the first match. Wicket Keeper batsman Mushfiqur Rahim smashed 69 runs in the last match, Bangladesh expects the same form to continue from him.

What a knock from Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran in the last game where they both did 256 runs records breaking first wicket partnership. They smashed 145 and 100 runs, respectively. Both openers are the players to watch out for.

Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Top Team Bowler

Mustafizure Rahim and Mehidy Hasan Miraz will be the key bowlers for Bangladesh. They both picked 2-2 wickets in the last match and both were economical as well.

Being world’s top off spinner, Rashid Khan is strengthening the Afghan bowling attack. In the first match he had an economical spell, 21-2 in 9 overs with the economy of 2.30. He grabbed 2 wickets in the previous match as well. He has taken 19 wickets against Bangladesh in 11 ODI matches. By picking 6 wickets in the two matches, Fazalhaq Farooqi seems to be the most reliable bowler for Afghanistan.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Bangladesh

Bangladesh recently defeated India and Ireland at home but fell short to England in an ODI. Same here against Afghanistan as well. Being the formidable opponent at the home ground, hosts were predicted to be the winner but the situation has been changed. In the first match luck was with Afghanistan when they declared the winner with DLS method and in the 2nd ODI they played really well, especially Gurbaz and Zadran. Now visitors have a lot of momentum but we think that Bangladesh will come back in the series by winning this match and the series will end with 2-1.

• Bangladesh to win @ 1.67
• Afghanistan to win @ 2.20
