Bangladesh skipper Jaker Ali Anik opted to bowl after winning the toss in the third T20 International against Afghanistan at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in UAE on Sunday.
Both team have made one change in the XI. For Bangladesh, Tanzim Hasan Sakib came in place of Mustafizur Rahman.
Meanwhile, Bashir Ahmad came in the XI for Afghanistan, and Noor Ahmad dropped.
Bangladesh had already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead, following their four-wicket and two-wicket victories in the first two matches.
A victory in the third match will complete a highly successful mission, for which they are craving after a disastrous Asia Cup campaign.
Although Bangladesh proved their superiority over Afghanistan in the first two matches, their performance was not something that can draw any plaudits.
On both occasions, they experienced batting collapse, keeping them on the threshold of a defeat.
Bangladesh XI:
Jaker Ali (c & wk), Tanzid Hasan, Parvez Hossain Emon, Saif Hassan, Shamim Hossain, Nurul Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Nasum Ahmed, Mohammad Saifuddin, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Shoriful Islam
Afghanistan XI:
Sediqullah Atal, Ibrahim Zadran, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Wafiullah Tarakhil, Darwish Rasooli, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Bashir Ahmad, Rashid Khan (c), Abdullah Ahmadzai, Mujeeb Ur Rahman.
