IND vs BAN 1st T20I Weather Today: Suryakumar Yadav’s India will take on Najmul Hossain Shanto’s Bangladesh in the first of the three-match T20I series at the New Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior on Sunday. The visitors have fresh faces for the white ball leg of the series while Bangladesh does have a few familiar faces in their sides who have been scarred by the red-ball thumping earlier this month.
Though on paper Bangladesh does have a decent side their returns in white ball tournaments have been diminishing for a while. On the contrary, the Indian team though is in transition after the big guns have left, the team continued to look imperious in the series against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe post the T20 World Cup 2024 and will post an uphill task to Bangladesh.
Predicted XI’s
India predicted XI: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Rinku Singh, Hardik Pandya, Riyan Parag, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana
Player to watch out for The debate on Sanju Samson’s place in the Indian white-ball team is a never-ending one. However, despite all the talent in the world Samson has been a hit-and-miss in the T20 format. The series against Bangladesh in the absence of both Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal will present him with opportunities at the top of the order which he would like to capitalize on and cement his place in the squad at least if not the team.
Bangladesh predicted XI: Litton Kumer Das, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Najmul Hossain Shanto (C), Tawhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Jaker Ali, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Rishad Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib.
Player to watch out for: Litton Das may not have delivered to his expectations in the red-ball series however, he has always done well in the white-ball format for Bangladesh, especially against India. While the bowling of the visitors looks in decent shape it is the batting that needs the firepower which Litton Das has shown many times before that he can deliver and give Bangladesh explosive starts.
