Cricket team news
Afghanistan: It will be interesting to see if they try out some of their players now that they have won the series. The seniors will then get some rest, and youngsters would get an opportunity to showcase their talent on the big stage. Led by Asghar Stanikzai, they will be hoping to go all guns blazing on Bangladesh.
Bangladesh: There is nothing left to play for them, except pride. And they will be hoping to turn the fortune around going into their next tour. Captain Shakib Al Hasan blamed lack of partnerships for the losses. He will probably hope for some collective showing by his team at least in the last game of the series.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hassan has criticized his players for not playing up to their potential.
Hassan has accused them of taking advantage of a "free environment in the dressing room" in the absence of a head coach, according to a report on Cricinfo.
Cricinfo also quoted him as saying, "I was with them in Sri Lanka in the Nidahas Trophy 2018 and they played well there. No one accused them after losing matches there.
But in Dehradun, the team is looking very different."

Pitch and conditions
The pitch has been consistently slow through the series and it is expected to be the same in this match as well. Runs will not come thick and fast but still, we will see some big shots. The pitch is expected to assist the spinners and will be on the slower side.
The weather is perfect for playing cricket in Dehradun.
