Afghanistan vs Bangladesh Prediction: Who Will Win AFG vs BAN 3rd ODI Match on 14th October 2025?

The much-anticipated Afghanistan vs Bangladesh prediction for the 3rd ODI 2025 is here, and all eyes are on Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi, where the home side will aim to complete a clean sweep. Afghanistan have already sealed the three-match ODI series 2-0 with two commanding victories, showcasing their all-round dominance. Hashmatullah Shahidi’s men have displayed exceptional consistency with both bat and ball — especially Ibrahim Zadran, Rashid Khan, and Azmatullah Omarzai, who have been in superb form. Meanwhile, Bangladesh are under immense pressure, having lost ten of their last eleven ODIs. Their fragile batting lineup and overreliance on a few senior players have been their biggest concerns.

As this final ODI approaches, the Afghanistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI prediction tilts heavily in favor of the hosts, given their current momentum and home advantage. However, Bangladesh are capable of bouncing back if their top order clicks and the bowlers maintain disciplined lines. Afghanistan’s spinners have outclassed Bangladesh’s middle order, and if the visitors fail to adapt, another one-sided game could be on the cards. Cricketwebs brings you a detailed preview, fantasy tips, pitch & weather reports, and the complete match prediction below.

Match Details

Afghanistan Preview

Afghanistan are in sublime form and will look to finish the series in style. They have found perfect balance between bat and ball, and their approach under captain Hashmatullah Shahidi has been disciplined yet aggressive.

In the last game, Afghanistan’s batting was anchored by Ibrahim Zadran, who scored a classy 95. The opener continues to be the backbone of their ODI setup. Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s wicketkeeping and top-order aggression add a valuable dimension, while Azmatullah Omarzai’s all-round abilities have been crucial in the middle order. The inclusion of Darvish Rasooli in place of injured Rahmat Shah provides additional batting depth.

The bowling department remains Afghanistan’s strongest suit. Rashid Khan’s magical spell of 5 for 17 in the previous match completely dismantled Bangladesh’s batting lineup. Supported by Azmatullah Omarzai’s pace and AM Ghazanfar’s control, Afghanistan’s attack has been relentless.

Expect Afghanistan to field the same core lineup with Rashid leading the spin charge, backed by Nabi and Kharote for variation. Their focus will be to maintain pressure early and force Bangladesh into mistakes, just as they’ve done throughout the series.

Predicted Playing XI:
Hashmatullah Shahidi (c), Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Ibrahim Zadran, Darvish Rasooli, Sediqullah Atal, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Nangeyalia Kharote, AM Ghazanfar, Bashir Ahmad

Bangladesh Preview

Bangladesh have endured a nightmare series so far. Their top order has been inconsistent, and they’ve failed to build partnerships under pressure. In the second ODI, they were bowled out for just 109 runs, with only Towhid Hridoy (24) and Saif Hassan (22) showing some resistance.

Captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz has been one of the few bright spots. His bowling has been economical and wicket-taking, but he hasn’t received enough support from other bowlers or batsmen. Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Rishad Hossain picked up two wickets each in the previous match but lacked backing from the fielding unit.

The biggest issue for Bangladesh has been poor shot selection and a lack of adaptability against spin. With players like Najmul Hossain Shanto and Jaker Ali struggling to convert starts, their batting unit looks fragile. Bangladesh need one of their senior batters to step up if they are to challenge Afghanistan in the final ODI.

Predicted Playing XI:
Saif Hassan, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, Mehidy Hasan Miraz (c), Jaker Ali (wk), Nurul Hasan, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Tanvir Islam, Rishad Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman
