AFG v BAN 2024/25, AFG vs BAN 3rd ODI Match Report, November 11, 2024

Toss Bangladesh chose to vs Afghanistan

Bangladesh stand-in captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz won the toss against Afghanistan in the third ODI in Sharjah and opted to bat first. Mehidy led the side in place of regular captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, whose groin injury not only rules him out of this match but also the upcoming Tests against the West Indies.
In another change in their squad, Bangladesh also decided to rest senior fast Taskin Ahmed from the series decider against Afghanistan. In place of Shanto and Taskin, they brought in Zakir Hasan and debutant fast bowler Nahid Rana respectively.

Rana, 22, has the ability to bowl 140 kmph consistently and had impressed the selectors in Test tours of Pakistan and India in recent months. So far, he has played just ten List A matches, taking 26 wickets at a fantastic average of 16.46.

Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi, meanwhile, confirmed the same player XI for the third match in a row even though his side had lost the second ODI by 68 runs on Saturday. Before that, a 92-point win in the first game had given them a 1-0 lead in the series.

Afghanistan: 1 Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), 2 Sediqullah Atal, 3 Rahmat Shah, 4 Hashmatullah Shahidi (captain), 5 Azmatullah Omarzai, 6 Mohammad Nabi, 7 Gulbadin Naib, 8 Rashid Khan, 9:00 Ghazanfar, 10 Nangeyalia Kharote, 11 Fazalhaq Farooqi

Bangladesh: 1 Soumya Sarkar, 2 Tanzid Hasan Tamim, 3 Zakir Hasan, 4 Mehidy Hasan Miraz (captain), 5 Towhid Hridoy, 6 Mahmudullah, 7 Jaker Ali (wk), 8 Nasum Ahmed, 9 Nahid Rana, 10 Shoriful Islam, 11 Mustafizur Rahman
