Bangladesh did not get off to a bad start in the series decider. Two openers Soumya Sarkar and Tanjid Hossain Tamim's partnership crossed the fifty. But then the rhythm fell. The two of them took the path to Sajghar within five balls. At the end of 10 overs, Bangladesh scored 58 for 2 wickets.

After winning the toss and batting at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Bangladesh could have stumbled early on. Opener Tanjid gave the catch before opening the run book. Gulbadin Naib could not collect the catch.

After getting life, Tanjid moved forward for some time. However, in the last over of the power play, Mohammad Nabi played a stubborn shot and threw the wicket away. Before his return, he scored 19 runs off 29 balls.

However, the other opener Soumya returned before that. Batting at a very fluent pace, Azmatullah crossed the boundary with a great shot on the off side in the first ball of the ninth over. But he did not understand the movement of the ball after the ball. The ball coming in is standing in place and returning to be bowled.

Soumya scored 24 runs in three fours off 23 balls before Sajghar's way.

As regular captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto is not in this match due to a groin injury, the batsman Zakir Hasan has dropped to three on this day. Now it is Mehdi Hasan Miraj who leads the team in the absence of his partner Shant at the crease.

Incidentally, Bangladesh and Afghanistan won one each of the first two ODIs in the three-match series. Bangladesh lost by 92 runs to Afghanistan in the first ODI of the series. In the second ODI, the representatives of the red and green turned around to win by 68 runs.
