The Hashmatullah Shahidi-led Afghanistan roared to a 200-run demolition of Bangladesh in the third and final ODI in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday (October 15, 2025). The Afghans thus completed a 3-0 series sweep, having lost the T20I leg by the same margin.
Fifties from Ibrahim Zadran (95) and Mohammad Nabi (62 not out), followed by a maiden five-wicket haul from Bilal Sami (5/33) scripted the Afghans' massive victory.
Zadran and Nabi's knocks powered the Afghans to a 293-run total. In reply, the Bangla Tigers were blown away for 93, with Sami's fifer being complemented by Rashid Khan (3/12).
Zadran was named the Player of the Series for his 213-run tally, which included another 95-run knock in the second game. Sami was named the Player of the Match for his fifer.
Afghanistan had won the first two ODIs convincingly too. In the first match, they successfully chased down a target of 222 runs with five wickets to spare, thanks to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi and Azmatuallah Omarzai's efforts.
In the 2nd ODI, Afghanistan defended a low total of 191 runs as they bowled Bangladesh out for just 109, with Rashid Khan claiming a 5-wicket haul and ending up with figures of 5/17.
