Afghanistan Preview
Afghanistan have lost this series already after losing the first two games. They will now play this game for honour and to improve their head-to-head record. Their performance in the second game of this series was below par, scoring 147/5 in 20 overs. Sediqullah Atal (23) and Ibrahim Zadran (38) gave them hope in the early stages of the game, and Rahmanullah Gurbaz added 30 later. However, the middle order failed to do their job, which ultimately cost them not only the game but also the series.
Key Players: Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rashid Khan, Ibrahim Zadran

Bangladesh Preview
Although they played their first two games of this series as the underdogs, they showed the world that games are not played on paper. They won the second game of this series by two wickets with five balls left. Tanzid Hasan, Parvez Hossain Emon, and Saif Hassan were dismissed early in Bangladesh's chase. Nevertheless, captain Jaker Ali (32) and Shamim Hossain Patwari (33 off 22) were so instrumental in stabilising the innings. Not only that, Nurul Hasan smashed 31 off 21 balls, remaining unbeaten to secure the win.
Key Players: Jaker Ali, Nurul Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Tanzim Hasan Sakib.
Bangladesh Players List

Afghanistan vs Bangladesh Prediction
Bangladesh have already won the series, and I think they will be relaxed in this game. On the other hand, Afghanistan still have a point to prove, which is why I think they will win this game. They have been the favourites since the start of the series. Additionally, I expect the team to have the top batter, with Ashleigh Gardner still active, and I think they will excel in their batting game.
