How Will The Sharjah Cricket Stadium’s Pitch Behave?
There was a bit of movement from the deck during the first few overs of both innings in the first two matches. But as the match progressed, the movement disappeared, and the wicket became slow. The batters found it hard to play their strokes freely. The spinners and pacers, who had good slower deliveries in their repertoire, were effective.
Players To Watch Out For In AFG vs BAN
Afghanistan
Allah Ghazanfar
The young spinner has been a revelation for Afghanistan in this series. Allah Ghazanfar has the most wickets in the series and has been the true match-winner for the team.
Mohammad Nabi
The experienced all-rounder has looked good with the bat in this series. If Afghanistan bowls second in this game, Mohammad Nabi can also be a great contributor with the ball.
Rashid Khan
The Afghan superstar has gone about his job silently in this series. While the young bowler Allah Ghazanfar has dominated the series, Rashid Khan has played the perfect second fiddle to him, creating pressure from the other end.
Bangladesh
Mustafizur Rahman
The experienced Bangladesh left-arm pacer has adjusted to the Sharjah pitch brilliantly. Mustafizur Rahman has used his variations brilliantly and is the highest wicket-taker for his team in this series.
Najmul Hossain Shanto
The skipper of the Bangladesh team has looked good with the bat in this series. Najmul Hossain Shanto has added solidity and stability to the Bangladesh middle-order and will be a crucial player in this game, too.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz
This Bangladeshi all-rounder has not yet fired big time in this series. However, Mehidy Hasan Miraz can well be a match winner with both the bat and the ball on the Sharjah wicket.
