IND vs BAN 3rd T20I: Team Previews

India

Team India secured emphatic wins in the first two T20Is to seal the series with a game to spare. Overall, the ‘Men in Blue’ have registered 21 wins in their last 22 completed fixtures, which included eight in succession during their victorious 2024 T20 World Cup campaign back in June this year.

Notably, the Indian team has demonstrated a comprehensive all-round effort in the series against Bangladesh so far. The likes of Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh and Nitish Kumar Reddy have all came up clutch with the bat at various critical junctures. The bowling department has also been ably helmed by spinner Varun Chakravarthy as well as by pace operators Arshdeep Singh, Mayank Yadav and all-rounders Nitish Kumar Reddy and Hardik Pandya.

Bangladesh

The Bangladesh cricket team is currently on a five-match losing streak, which included three demoralizing losses during the Super Eights stage of the 2024 T20 World Cup a couple of months ago. With defeats in the first two games against India, Najmul Hossain Shanto and co. will be aiming to conquer Hyderabad in a bid to avoid a series whitewash.

Senior pros like Litton Das, Mahmudullah, all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz and captain Shanto himself must stand up to the occasion if the visitors need to snap their unwanted losing streak. Fast bowlers Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed also need to make the new ball count in Hyderabad to engineer Bangladesh’s early advantage.
