Afghanistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI prediction: Afghanistan (AFG) will take on Bangladesh (BAN) in the final clash of the three-match series, with the third ODI starting at 5:30 PM (IST) on Tuesday, October 14, at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Match Previews

With an unassailable 2-0 lead, Afghanistan comfortably won the series and will now look to maintain their momentum in the next match, aiming for a clean sweep. The Rashid Khan-led team is in excellent form, and it will be interesting to see if they make any changes for Tuesday, as it's difficult for them to return empty-handed.

Bangladesh, who dominated the first T20I series with a clean sweep, are struggling to replicate that success in the 50-over leg of the tour. They will be looking to bounce back with a win in the final ODI to end the tour on a positive note. A consolation win will certainly boost their confidence as they prepare for the 2027 ODI World Cup.
