Match Preview

Despite losing the T20I series, Afghanistan impressed in ODIs, winning their last two matches consecutively. In the second ODI, a low-scoring affair, Afghanistan defended a total of 190 runs, thanks to brilliant bowling performances. Mehidy Hasan Miraz led Bangladesh’s attack with three wickets, while Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Rishad Hossain claimed two wickets each. Rashid Khan was the star bowler for Afghanistan with a five-wicket haul, supported by Azmatullah Omarzai's three wickets, as Bangladesh was bowled out for just 109 runs.

Bangladesh’s ODI form has been poor, even after a good T20I showing, making today's game a crucial opportunity to salvage some pride.

Who Will Win Today’s Match? (AI Prediction)

Afghanistan hold all the momentum after two commanding victories. Their spin trio of Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, and Ghazanfar has made life miserable for Bangladesh batters, while Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran have provided solid starts at the top.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, look short on confidence and form. Their batting collapses and inability to counter spin remain their biggest concerns. Unless their top order fires collectively, it will be difficult to challenge Afghanistan’s bowling attack.

AI Prediction: Afghanistan to win the 3rd ODI and complete a 3-0 series sweep.
