Bangladesh Playing XI vs Afghanistan- 3rd ODI, Afghanistan vs Bangladesh 2025:
Openers: Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Saif Hassan
Bangladesh would be disappointed that they couldn't get over the line in the previous match while pursuing a target of 191 runs in the second ODI against Afghanistan, and will play for pride in the final game.
The visitors would hope for a better show from the batters to increase their chances of winning.
The onus will be on the openers to get the team off to a good start, something which they haven't been able to do in the series so far.
The opening pair of Tanzid Hasan Tamim and Saif Hasan will have to prolong the start that they get against an in-form Afghan bowling lineup.
If we talk about the individual performances of both batters, Tanzid has looked off colour in the first two matches, while his partner, Saif Hasan has got out in an attempt to take on the bowlers after getting set.
Both Tanzid and Saif will look to put on a strong performance with the bat and lay a platform for the middle-order batters.
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, Mehidy Hasan Miraz (c), Jaker Ali (wk), Nurul Hasan, Rishad Hossain
The opening partnership will be followed by a middle order that has a good blend of youth and experience and includes names like Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and Jaker Ali.
Out of all the above-mentioned batters, captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz will have to lead from the front and score runs while batting at number five.
Miraz will be accompanied by Towhid Hridoy, who has been the batter that has shown some kind of form other than the captain himself.
Bangladesh is expected to go into the third match with an unchanged playing XI, which means they will have depth in the batting lineup.
Bowlers: Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Mustafizur Rahman, Tanvir Islam
Unlike the batters, the performance of the team's bowlers has been decent as they have been able to restrict the Afghan batters in both matches so far, and they would want to replicate that in the upcoming fixture as well.
A lot will depend on how Bangladesh's new ball bowlers bowl, and the captain would want them to have a good outing with the ball.
If the Bangla Tigers can pick at least a couple of wickets in the first powerplay, they will lay a platform and make things easy for other bowlers in the middle overs.
As for spinners, they will look to make full use of the assistance that the pitch is expected to offer, with it being on the drier side.
If the likes of Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Mustafizur Rahman, and Mehidy Hasan Miraz can stitch some economical spells and pick wickets at regular intervals, the Bangla Tigers will give themself the best chance to win the third and final game of the series.
