Akif Raja to Tanzid Hasan, no run, full and shaping into off-stump, driven to mid-off
Tanzid Hasan and Parvez Hossain Emon are at the crease. Tanzid Hasan is on strike. Akif Raja will open the attack
Pitch report: "The pitch remains the same as the previous game. Nothing much has changed. The greenish top has faded and it has browned. It's a hard and solid track. Nothing much for the spinners. Humidity played a massive role in the previous game, bowling second will be tricky" says Mudassir Ali
Litton Das: Last game was very competitive. Believe in my boys to come back strongly.
Muhammad Waseem: We really enjoyed that win. We'll try to win today as well. We are going with two changes because Jawadullah got injured. We are going to bowl first, going with the same plan. Will try to restrict them to 150-160.

United Arab Emirates (Playing XI): Muhammad Zohaib, Muhammad Waseem(c), Rahul Chopra(w), Asif Khan, Alishan Sharafu, Saghir Khan, Ethan DSouza, Dhruv Parashar, Haider Ali, Matiullah Khan, Akif Raja

18:02 Local Time, 14:02 GMT, 19:32 IST: Hello and welcome to our coverage of the 3rd T20I between the UAE and Bangladesh. A series that was originally only supposed to have two matches saw the addition of this third fixture and UAE’s win in the 2nd T20I makes this a decider. It was a win in the making for the UAE, the foundations of which were laid in the first game before the construction was completed in the second. The first game saw the hosts fall short by 27-runs after starting superbly while chasing 191. They ensured that their mistakes weren’t repeated in the second game by successfully hunting down 206 to not just level the series but also stun Bangladesh. Like the first game, it was their skipper, Muhammad Waseem, who starred once more with a 42-ball 82 to see his side through to an inspiring win. That makes today’s fixture, with all to play for, all the more exciting.
