Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi said the pitch will be slower and offer more turn than the last game. "We will bat first. This is the same pitch we played in the last ODI, it will be slower and there will be lot more turn today, so we want to put up runs and defend it. We still have a long way to go in our fast bowling department, we have a few talented youngsters we need to make them better and be ready for international games. We have World Cup in South Africa and we need to have good fast bowlers. We have made 2 changes, Ikram Alikhil and Bilal Sami are in," Shahidi said after winning the toss.
"We did not bat well in the last game and we were disappointed. We have to take responsibility as a batting unit and everyone agreed to that and I hope that we can comeback strongly. Anything around 200 we can chase on this track, in the night the ball is skidding a little and we need partnerships at the top of the order. We have 4 changes," Bangladesh captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz said.
Afghanistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI Weather and Pitch Report of Abu Dhabi
There is no chance of rain during the game. The maximum temperature is expected to reach 36°C, while the minimum will be around 28°C.
The pitch at Sheikh Zayed Stadium is expected to be good for batting. Both fast bowlers and spinners can find some assistance. Batters will need to be cautious against the new ball in the first ten overs, as pacers can get swing in the conditions. Fast bowlers may then rely on cutters and slower deliveries as the ball gets older. Spinners are likely to enjoy the dry surface but dew in the second innings may make it difficult to grip the ball. A first-innings total of 270-280 runs would be competitive.
