Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bowl first in the third T20I against Afghanistan at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
The match marks the final game of the three-match series, with Bangladesh already leading 2–0 after two close victories. In both previous matches, Bangladesh chased successfully after fielding first: a strategy that captain Jaker Ali Anik has decided to stick with.
Looking to complete a clean sweep, Bangladesh will aim to maintain their winning momentum, while Afghanistan hope to finish the series with a consolation win.
