Sunday, 5 October 2025



In a bid to sweep the three-match T20 series, Bangladesh will take on Afghanistan in the third and final match today (Sunday) at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in UAE, reports BSS.
The will match start at 8.30pm and will be aired live on T Sports and Nagorik TV.
Bangladesh had already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead, following their four- wicket and two-wicket victory in the first two matches.
A victory in the third match will complete a highly successful mission, for which they are craving for, after a disastrous Asia Cup campaign. Although Bangladesh proved them superior over Afghanistan in the first two matches, their performance was not something that can draw any plaudits. On both occasions, they experienced batting collapse, keeping them on the threshold of a defeat.
Jaker Ali Anik, who are leading the side in absence of regular captain Litton Das, was happy to win the series rather thinking about collapse in both matches
"It feels good. As a team, we've played really well in the last two games and we were more clinical," he said after the second game.
"The bowlers set the tone, the wicket was better, and we showed good character. We had to take our chances because they are quality spinners. We stayed positive and looked for boundaries...."
