The United Arab Emirates will now host Bangladesh in an additional T20I match on Wednesday, May 21, at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, the Emirates Cricket Board confirmed on Monday. The third T20I has been added following discussions between the Emirates Cricket Board and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). It will begin at 7:00pm local time, just like the second match of the series scheduled for today (Monday), also at Sharjah. Originally, the two teams were set to play a two-match series, but the addition of a third match offers both sides more game time ahead of their future international commitments. Bangladesh won the opening match of the series by 27 runs on Friday, thanks to a stunning century by Parvez Hossain Emon. Broadcast of the series will be available globally, including T-Sports in Bangladesh, Fancode in India, Cricbuzz across MENA, Geo Super in Pakistan, Willow TV in the US and Canada, and Sportseye/YouTube.
