PREVIEW

Bangladesh will be super confident going into the third ODI at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium. The pitch has been a good batting surface and Liton Das took full advantage in the second match. Bangladesh scored 300-plus for the first time and it was the innings from Das that gave the home team a massive boost.

Liton Das struck 16 fours and two sixes in his 126-ball 136 as Bangladesh posted 306 for 4, their highest total against Afghanistan. Bangladesh dismissed Afghanistan for 218 in 45.1 overs with a disciplined display of bowling.  Liton was well supported by Mushfiqur Rahim (86). They combined for a national record third-wicket stand of 202.

But Chattogram is still talking about the record partnership that Afif Hossain and Mehidy Hasan produced on Wednesday. Afif Hossain and Mehidy Hasan combined for a national record 174-run partnership in an unbroken seventh-wicket stand that bailed Bangladesh out from a precarious 45 for six in the first ODI.

Bangladesh's new boys have ticked all the boxes so far and that has made a huge difference in the series. Afghanistan need a better batting display to give their world-class spin troika of Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Mohammad Nabi a fair chance to nail Bangladesh down.
