Shake Bangladesh chose to bat vs Afghanistan

Bangladesh stand-in captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz won the toss against Afghanistan in the third ODI in Sharjah and opted to bat first. Mehidy led the team in place of regular captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, whose groin injury not only ruled him out of this match but also the upcoming Tests against the West Indies.
In another change to their team, Bangladesh also decided to rest senior quick Taskin Ahmed from the series decider against Afghanistan. In place of Shanto and Taskin, they brought in Zakir Hasan and debutant fast bowler Nahid Rana respectively.

Rana, 22, has the ability to bowl consistently at 140 km/h and had impressed the selectors on Test tours of Pakistan and India over the past few months. So far, he has played just ten List A games, picking up 26 wickets at a fantastic average of 16.46.

Meanwhile, Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi confirmed the same playing XI for the third consecutive game even as his team had lost the second ODI by 68 runs on Saturday. Before that, a 92-run win in the first game had put them 1-0 up in the series.

Afghanistan: 1 Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), 2 Sediqullah Atal, 3 Rahmat Shah, 4 Hashmatullah Shahidi (captain), 5 Azmatullah Omarzai, 6 Mohammad Nabi, 7 Gulbadin Naib, 8 Rashid Khan, 9 AM Ghazanfar, 10 Nangeyalia Kharote, 11 Fazalhaq Farooqi

Bangladesh: 1 Soumya Sarkar, 2 Tanzid Hasan Tamim, 3 Zakir Hasan, 4 Mehidy Hasan Miraz (captain), 5 Towhid Hridoy, 6 Mahmudullah, 7 Jaker Ali (wk), 8 Nasum Ahmed, 9 Nahid Rana, 10 Shoriful Islam, 11 Mustafizur Rahman
