In the ongoing 3rd and series decider match between Bangladesh and Afghanistan at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in UAE, the Tigers are in deep trouble. 

Bangladesh, batting first, have lost four early wickets and are riding on interim skipper Mehidy Miraz's innings, as he is unbeaten on 37 (68), which featured two fours. Talking about Afghanistan, the bowlers are breathing fire, particularly Rashid Khan. 

Talking about Rashid, he got rid of Towhid Hridoy and has registered the figures of 1/15 in his five overs so far. On the 4th ball of the 15th over, Rashid took his first wicket after Gulbadin Naib took a brilliant catch at first slip.

At the time of writing this article, Bangladesh are 132/4 after 31.3 overs. 

Bangladesh Fighting Without Najmul Shanto

Bangladesh are without their regular skipper Najmul Shanto for the 3rd ODI as he has been ruled out as he has suffered a groin injury. Meanwhile, Zakir Hasan has replaced him at the top and Mehidy Hasan is leading the side. 

Other than Shanto, Taskin Ahmed too has been ruled out not because of any injury concern, but to manage his workload. 

Afghanistan vs Bangladesh Series So Far

It has been an interesting series so far between Afghanistan and Bangladesh, as it is tied 1-1. Afghanistan won the opening match after they restricted Bangladesh to just 143 runs and won handsomely by 92 runs.

Nonetheless, The Tigers bounced back in the 2nd ODI and registered 68 runs and gave Afghanistan a taste of their own medicine by restricting them to 184 runs to level the series.
