United Arab Emirates have won the toss and elected to bowl first in the third and final T20I against Bangladesh at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.


With the three-match series level at 1-1, both teams head into the decider with high stakes and fresh changes to their line-ups.

Bangladesh made three adjustments from their previous outing. Nazmul Hossain Shanto, Tanvir Islam, and Nahid Rana have been left out, making way for Mahedi Hasan, Hasan Mahmud, and Parvez Hossain Emon.

Emon, who struck a stunning century in the series opener, missed the second game due to a hamstring concern but returns for the finale.

The home side, buoyed by their historic two-wicket win in the second match, will be eager to seal the series in front of home fans.

Bangladesh, meanwhile, will look to bounce back from their dramatic loss and finish the tour on a winning note.

Bangladesh XI: Parvez Hossain Emon, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Litton Das (capt), Towhid Hridoy, Jaker Ali (wk), Shamim Hossain, Rishad Hossain, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Shoriful Islam, Shak Mahedi Hasan, Hasan Mahmud

United Arab Emirates XI: Muhammad Waseem (capt), Akif Raja, Alishan Sharafu, Rahul Chopra (wk), Asif Khan, Dhruv Parashar, Muhammad Zohaib, Haider Ali, Ethan D’Souza, Matiullah Khan, Saghir Khan, reports UNB.
