Team India were at their imperial best in the first two T20I matches, winning them both rather easily and inflicting another series defeat to the Bangladesh side. The Suryakumar Yadav led side lead the series , 2-0 with a third match still to play.
India were ruthless in both the matches, as they won the first match in Gwalior by chasing the target inside 12 overs, and in the Delhi game, the bowlers were clinical and knocked out Bangladesh to seal the series.
India to unleash another fiery pacer in third T20I
However, with the series already in the bag, the Suryakumar led side will be looking to give chance to other players. So far, every single debutant and youngster has proven their worth in the series, be it Nitish Kumar Reddy or Mayank Yadav. However, another debutant could be on the cards for the third T20I.
Harshit Rana, who was exceptional in the IPL 2024 season, could be in line for his international debut. The Bangladesh batters have struggled against pace in the series, and the team management could look to unleash him against the struggling Tigers.
Also, the Indian side could look to bring in Tilak Varma in the playing XI, especially since the game is being played in Hyderabad and Tilak is the local boy. However, the new regime doesn't believe in chopping and changing, and hence, Tilak is most likely going to warm the bench. The rest of the playing XI should remain the same.
