Bangladesh

Despite the disappointing performance in the series so far, the Bangladesh team led by Litton Das will aim to redeem themselves and salvage their pride in the final ODI. 

The experienced bowling attack, which couldn’t capitalize on the home advantage, will be eager to bounce back and make an impact. The batting lineup, under pressure, will look for Mohammad Naim and Litton Das to provide a solid start and set the foundation for a successful chase. 

Hasan Mahmud and Mustafizur Rahman will be crucial in providing early breakthroughs with the new ball, while Shakib Al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan will bring their experience to stabilize the innings in the middle

Afghanistan will enter the third ODI with confidence, aiming to secure a clean sweep after their dominant performance in the previous matches.
