AFG vs BAN Key battles:
Ibrahim Zadran vs Tanzim Hasan Sakib
Ibrahim Zadran, who was dismissed five runs short of a well-crafted century in the previous match, would like to get to that milestone in the final game of the series.
Zadran will have to tackle the bowling of Tanzim Hasan Sakib, who took the new ball in the absence of Taskin Ahmed and would be expected to do the same in the upcoming match.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz vs Mehidy Hasan Miraz
Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who was dismissed early in the second ODI, would want to make up for it in the next game.
Gurbaz will go head-to-head against Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who has been in good form in this series so far and would want to end it on the right note.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz vs Azmatullah Omarzai
Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Bangladesh's ODI captain, would want to lead from the front, given the team's top order hasn't been in the best of form.
Mehidy will face the challenge of fast bowling all-rounders, Azmatullah Omarzai, who has been consistent with his performances, especially with the new ball, and would wish to continue that.
Towhid Hridoy vs Rashid Khan
Towhid Hridoy, who has looked one of the more accomplished batters in the series as far as Bangladesh's top and middle order batting is concerned, would want to put on a strong performance in the last match.
Hridoy will be up against Rashid Khan, who bowled a match-winning spell for Afghanistan while defending a below-par total in the second ODI, and would look to replicate the same performance in the final game as well.
