Bangladesh Cruises to 2-0 Lead, Afghanistan Faces Uphill Battle in Series Finale
5 Oct
Summary
- Bangladesh secures 2-0 lead in 3-match T20I series against Afghanistan
- Afghanistan looks to avoid a clean sweep in the final match
- Bangladesh playing without regular captain Litton Das, but still dominating
As of October 5, 2025, the ongoing T20I series between Afghanistan and Bangladesh has seen the visitors from Bangladesh take a decisive 2-0 lead. In the first two matches, Bangladesh defeated Afghanistan by 4 wickets and 2 wickets, respectively.
The series has been a tough one for Afghanistan, who are struggling in the shortest format of the game. After an early exit from the Asia Cup, they were hoping to bounce back against Bangladesh, but the hosts have proven to be the stronger team.
What's more impressive is that Bangladesh is achieving this success without their regular captain, Litton Das. However, the absence of their skipper has not affected the team's performance, as they continue to dominate the series.
Now, Afghanistan faces an uphill battle to avoid a clean sweep in the final match, which is scheduled to be played on Sunday, October 5, at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Rashid Khan's side will need to put up a strong performance to salvage some pride and prevent Bangladesh from completing a series whitewash.
