AFG vs BAN: Another game ended against Afghanistan, and they have been struggling big time in the last few months or so. They will be in action in the third and final T20I against Bangladesh on Sunday at Sharjah Cricket Stadium at 8 PM IST. Can they avoid the series white-wash?
Bangladesh Preview
Bangladesh have been the better side of the two. They have managed to restrict Afghanistan in both games and won the series. Now, they will look to wrap up the series 3-0 and head into the ODIs with great momentum.
- Key Batter: Parviz Emon and Tanzid Hasan had an average last game, but both openers have been among the runs of late.
- Captaincy: Captain Jaker Ali finally had some runs with the bat. He looked good and played a crucial knock in the chase.
- Batting Strength: The batting has responded well for Bangladesh under pressure. They have managed to get runs when needed, and even their lower-order batters have contributed.
- Bowling Attack: Bangladesh have rotated their bowlers in both games, and despite that, nothing has changed. They have done well with pace and spin both.
Afghanistan Preview
Afghanistan have batted first in both games, and they ended short of runs. Bowlers have not been disciplined when it mattered and failed to execute their plans. But they need runs from their batters.
- Batting: The top three batters have failed to give the team good starts. That has put pressure on the middle order. So, Afghanistan need a good start with the bat.
- Bowling: Rashid Khan and other bowlers have done well. But their paces with the new ball are something they have not been consistent with.

Sharjah Cricket Stadium Pitch and Weather Report
Sharjah Cricket Stadium is not a ground where you can play big shots from the very first ball. This is a slow wicket, which has uneven bounce as the game goes forward. The new ball will be easier to hit when the pitch is firm. And as seen in recent years, the chasing side has always had an advantage.
The weather for Sunday in Sharjah shows no sign of rain, with the temperature going around 33°C, and the humidity in the evening will be at 62 percent.

AFG vs BAN Match Prediction – Who Will Win?
Afghanistan are under a lot of pressure after losing four consecutive T20Is. In the last six games, they have won only one game. Bangladesh might rest a few players, as it is a dead rubber game, but still, they are performing better than Afghanistan and will be favorites going into this game.
