Bangladesh are set to take on India in the second T20I of the three-match series on October 9 at Arun Jaitely Stadium. After a defeat in the first match, Bangladesh will be eager to make a comeback. India secured a comfortable win in the first game, chasing down Bangladesh’s total of 128 runs with ease. The visitors need to address their issues, especially in batting, if they hope to level the series.

Bangladesh have been facing challenges in the T20 format, particularly with their batting. The team has shown a lack of aggression at the crease, making it difficult to set or chase competitive totals. On the bowling front, while the bowlers have performed decently, they have not been at their best.

Possible Changes In Bangladesh XI

Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto might consider making a few changes to the playing XI for the second match. One potential change could be promoting all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz to open alongside Litton Das. Miraz, who is a reliable batter, did not get much opportunity in the first game and could provide stability at the top.

Another possible change is dropping Parvez Hossain Emon and bringing in all-rounder Mahedi Hasan. Mahedi’s inclusion could strengthen the lower order while adding versatility with both bat and ball.
