Table of Contents

The third and final T20I between Afghanistan and Bangladesh will take place on Sunday at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah. Bangladesh already leads the series 2-0 and will be eager to complete a clean sweep, while Afghanistan aims to finish on a high and avoid a whitewash.

Bangladesh have been clinical with both bat and ball, particularly excelling in death bowling and middle-order stability. Afghanistan, meanwhile, have struggled to defend totals and maintain consistency in their batting lineup.

The pitch at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium tends to be on the slower side, often offering variable bounce that challenges batters’ timing and shot selection. Unlike flat batting surfaces, scoring here doesn’t come easily, and cleanly striking the ball can be difficult. Despite the venue’s small boundaries that usually encourage big hitting, the sluggish nature of the wicket means batters must rely on patience, placement and rotation of strike rather than sheer power.

As the match progresses, spinners thrive on this surface, using grip and turn to keep run rates under control. Meanwhile, fast bowlers who vary their pace and execute yorkers effectively at the death can also play a key role in limiting runs. Overall, Sharjah demands smart batting and disciplined bowling – rewarding those who adapt to its slower conditions.
