In the series-deciding dead rubber, Bangladesh rest Mustafizur Rahman and hand Tanzim Hasan Sakib a spot, while Afghanistan debut all-rounder Bashir Ahmad.
Bangladesh opt to bowl first in the 2nd T20I, bringing back Shoriful Islam and Saifuddin, while Afghanistan make three changes including Mujeeb Ur Rahman for a must-win clash.
New Zealand have brought back Ben Sears, Ish Sodhi, and James Neesham for their T20I against Australia, choosing to bowl first after winning the toss in Perth.
A 2-2 record in their last four T20Is has set the stage for a perfectly balanced and highly anticipated clash between Bangladesh and Pakistan in Colombo.
