AFG vs BAN 3rd T20I Match Prediction of UAE 2025
Recent Form & Momentum
Going into the third T20I of the series in Sharjah, Bangladesh have taken both of the opening matches, edging out Afghanistan by narrow margins. Their batting has looked more composed under pressure, and a few good spells from their bowlers have arrested Afg’s momentum. Afghanistan, meanwhile, have shown flashes of brilliance—especially with their spin attack and top-order hitting—but have lacked consistency in the death overs and in partnerships. So Let’s take a look at AFG vs BAN 3rd T20I Match Prediction.

Squads & Changes
Afghanistan make several changes. Bashir Ahmad, an uncapped fast-bowler, gets a place in the T20I squad. They’ve dropped senior names like Fazal Haq Farooqi, Gulbadin Naib, and Karim Janat. Bangladesh’s squad remains stable, with players such as Towhid Hridoy, Tanzid Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Taskin Ahmed, Shamim Hossain, Rishad Hossain, etc.
These changes suggest Afghanistan want to test bench strength and give youngsters more exposure, while Bangladesh probably want to stick to their winning combinations to seal the series.
Afganisthan vs Bangladesh Pitch & Conditions
Sharjah tends to be a slower track in the UAE, especially at night when dew can play a factor. Spinners often find grip in the middle overs. Seamers will be useful early, but once the ball softens, the pace attack becomes easier to play. The temperature is expected to be moderate, and weather should not intervene. Chasing might be slightly easier because of visibility and dew late in the innings.
AFG vs BAN Key Players to Watch
-
Rashid Khan (Afghanistan): As usual, key with spin; he can control the tempo in middle overs.
-
Noor Ahmad & Mujeeb Ur Rahman: Afghan spin duo needing to restrict Bangladesh’s scoring.
-
Rahmanullah Gurbaz: Top-order batter; if he gets going, Bangladesh’s bowlers will be under pressure.
-
Towhid Hridoy & Tanzid Hasan (Bangladesh): Their ability to steady innings or accelerate will be crucial.
-
Taskin Ahmed / Nasum Ahmed: If Bangladesh bowlers start with good yorkers or variations, they can build pressure.
AFG vs BAN Prediction & Key Factors
Bangladesh are slight favorites to win the 3rd T20I. Their composure under pressure, especially chasing or defending modest totals, gives them edge. Afghanistan will need a strong start with bat and a disciplined spin attack to stay in the game. If Afg lose early wickets, the middle-order may struggle with scoring in tougher conditions.
