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.

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.
