AFG vs BAN 3rd ODI Match Prediction for UAE Series 2025

Afghanistan have already sealed the three-match ODI series with a commanding 2-0 lead and will be aiming for a clean sweep when they face Bangladesh in the final ODI on Tuesday, October 14, at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. After dominating the 50-over format, Rashid Khan’s side looks unstoppable, while Bangladesh seeks a consolation victory to end their tour on a positive note. So let’s have a look at AFG vs BAN 3rd ODI Match Prediction.

Series Situation and Team Form

Afghanistan have been in spectacular form throughout the series, winning both previous encounters convincingly. In the second ODI, they successfully defended a modest total of 190 runs, dismissing Bangladesh for just 109 runs with Rashid Khan delivering exceptional bowling figures. The series victory marks a turnaround from the T20I phase, where Bangladesh had whitewashed Afghanistan.

Head-to-Head Record

The overall head-to-head record between these teams stands at 11-10 in Bangladesh’s favor from 21 encounters. However, Afghanistan have won three out of four matches played at this venue, giving them a significant advantage. Their recent momentum has shifted the balance, with Afghanistan winning both matches in the current series.

Match Prediction

Afghanistan are strong favorites to complete the whitewash. Their bowling attack, led by Rashid Khan who recently became the second-fastest spinner to 200 ODI wickets, has been virtually unplayable. Bangladesh’s batting lineup has struggled significantly, with their middle-order failing to deliver in the previous match. The conditions at Sheikh Zayed Stadium have historically favored Afghanistan, who have won seven out of ten matches at this venue.

Predicted Playing XIs

Afghanistan: Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Ibrahim Zadran, Sediqullah Atal, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi (c), Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Nangeyalia Kharote, AM Ghazanfar, Bashir Ahmad

Pitch Report

The Sheikh Zayed Stadium pitch has shown contrasting behavior, favoring batters in the first match while assisting bowlers in the second. A similar surface is expected, with bowlers likely finding support early on while patient batters can still score runs.
