Listing with `ls` and regular expression

Question

How can I list files with a filename ending with last character and with .txt extension ?

I have tried ls *+([[:digit:]]).txt but this is true for abc12.txt and abc2.txt.

But I need to get only abc2.txt. How can I do that?

Is there any sort form of :digit: that will do this?

It should be noted pattern is only valid with extended globbing endabled: shopt -s extglob.

How about:

ls *[!0-9][0-9].txt

The ! at the beginning of the group complements its meaning.
