The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bangladesh's three-match Twenty20 International series has taken an unexpected turn, with the third game at Sharjah Cricket Stadium serving as the series finale. The game is scheduled for Wednesday, May 21. The hosts will have the chance to win the series against a full-member country for the first time, in addition to making it 2-1.
Mohammad Parvez Hossain's 100 off 54 balls helped Bangladesh score 191/7 in their 20 overs in the opening Twenty20 International. Following a top-scoring 54 off 39 balls from skipper Muhammad Waseem, the UAE lost by 27 runs. In the second Twenty20 International, the home team learned from their mistakes and came out firing. Bangladesh, on the other hand, may have had a fantastic series opener, but with the series at stake, they will need to return to their peak. They lost to the UAE in the shortest format for the first time in the second Twenty20 International, and they will be looking to bounce back from the difficult defeat in the previous match, where they were unable to protect a total of 200 or more.

Sharjah Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:
Because there is extremely little room for error, bowlers frequently get hammered for sixes at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, which is a very compact field. But the spinners have benefited from the surface. Teams that bat first have won 23 of the 40 Twenty20 Internationals that have been played at the venue thus far, while chasing teams have won 16 of them. In the first two games, the average first-inning score has been 198. To find out the total to chase down, the captain who wins the toss would not mind batting second.
