India travel to Bangladesh with center around the T20 World Cup
It was rather ill-tempered the last time these two sides met in Bangladesh, with Harmanpreet Kaur smashing the stumps and slamming umpires for "pathetic decisions", and the home captain Nigar Sultana criticising her "manners". Nine months later, the bigger picture is the T20 World Cup in Bangladesh this September-October, as India and Bangladesh begin their preparations with a five-T20I series in Sylhet, starting Sunday.
Working towards T20 World Cup
Bangladesh were whipped 3-0 at home by Australia half a month prior, and in spite of that drubbing they haven't changed their crew much for this series. India's last T20I series was likewise a 2-1 loss at home to Australia in December-January, where seniors, for example, Harmanpreet and Smriti Mandhana had disappointing exhibitions. Nonetheless, a few of India's global players returned to shape in the 2024 WPL, and for certain new names in the blend, they will expect to convey that energy into worldwide cricket too. The two groups will be quick to examination and find their ideal blends in these five T20Is before they travel to Sri Lanka for the Asia Cup in July, in front of the T20 World Cup in the not so distant future.
Bangladesh's batting battles
Bangladesh need improvement in their batting to give India a battle. In the new series against Australia, they scored sums of 126 for 4, 103 for 9 and 78 hard and fast. Just their commander Sultana was predictable with 96 runs in three innings, including a fifty, however it came at a strike pace of 91.42. The second-best player for Bangladesh was Fahima Khatun, with 53 runs. From the crew that played Australia, Bangladesh rolled out only one improvement, getting wicketkeeper-hitter Rubya Haider, who played the three-T20I series against Sri Lanka last year, instead of uncapped Farzana Akter. The hosts will require top-request hitters, for example, Fargana Hoque, Sobhana Mostary and Rubya to give a strong groundwork before Sultana can take off.
Will India's top request prosper in Sylhet?
The last time India visited Bangladesh in July 2023, their main three had a frustrating series. In three matches, Shafali Verma scored a sum of 30, Smriti Mandhana 52, and Jemimah Rodrigues 47. Rodrigues will miss this series because of back niggle. To the extent that new structure goes, the two openers had a magnificent WPL, with Shafali completing as the third most elevated run-scorer with 309 of every nine matches at a strike pace of 156.85 and Mandhana simply behind her with 300 out of ten games at 133.92. With Richa Ghosh liked as the group's best option manager, Yastika Bhatia could play as an unadulterated hitter at No.3; she scored 204 runs in eight games at 121.42 as an opener for Mumbai Indians in the WPL. India will accept their main three are more ready this time.
India possibly have an issue of bounty. Legspinner S Asha and turn bowling allrounder S Sajana have procured lady worldwide get back to ups on the of their WPL execution following quite a while of work in the homegrown circuit. Asha, 33, turned into the principal Indian to take a five-for in the WPL and she completed as the second most elevated wicket-taker (12) of the time, having a urgent impact in Illustrious Challengers Bangalore's title-winning run. Sajana was one of Mumbai's breakout stars with her large ability to hit. Left-arm spinner Radha Yadav has gotten back to India's crew following a year, following a great trip for Delhi Capitals, getting ten wickets in nine games at an economy pace of 7.48. With Deepti Sharma and Shreyanka Patil being the best option spinners, how India crush in Asha, Radha and Saika Ishaque in the XI is not yet clear. To oblige Sajana in the lower-center request, India could try and need to seat Amanjot Kaur.
Contribute and conditions Sylhet
The last T20I series between the different sides was played totally in Dhaka. India went in with three spinners and two seamers, with Shafali and Rodrigues chipping with additional overs of twist as seasonal workers. Bangladesh played a twist weighty assault with only one seamer in Marufa Akther. This time, all the five T20Is are in Sylhet, from 3.30pm nearby time. The scene as of late facilitated a men's three-T20I series among Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in Spring, where the typical score was 177 and four of the main five bowlers were quick bowlers. Some help for the seamers can be anticipated at first yet the two groups could in any case bet on spinners for wickets. India have played two T20Is against Bangladesh at this setting, and the twice, they scored 150 or more and confined the hosts to 100 or beneath.
