Bangladesh though won three matches, they had to fight for it neck-to-neck. But if the performance of the last five matches was taken into the consideration, Bangladesh won two, meaning that two out of their three victories against Afghans came very recently. Liton Das who led the side in ODI series, that Bangladesh lost 2-1, hoped that the victory in the last ODI served them well to win a first ever T20 series against Afghanistan. Last the two-match T20 series between the two sides in Bangladesh in 2022 ended in a 1-1 draw. "Before the T20I series, this win will act as a tonic," Liton said after winning the third and final ODI by seven wickets.
