How will be the weather and playing-11 in IND vs BAN 1st T20I match?

Ind vs Ban T20I Preview: Gwalior has got to host an international match after 14 years. The last time an international match was held in this city, Sachin Tendulkar became the first batsman in the world to score a double century in ODI.

India vs Bangladesh 1st T20I: Gwalior: After defeating Bangladesh 2-0 in the Test series, India is now eyeing the three-match T20 series. This match is special for India in two ways – one, the Indian team will be playing at home for the first time after winning the T20 World Cup. Secondly, Gwalior has got the opportunity to host an international competition after 14 years. The last time an international match was held in this city, Sachin Tendulkar became the first batsman in the world to score a double century in ODI.

However, this match will not be played on that ground but the clash of bat and ball will be seen in a newly constructed stadium. Bangladesh will also take the field in any format for the first time after the retirement of its all-time best all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan. However, this team will have the experience of Mahmudullah and Mustafizur Rahman. Also, inexperienced Indian batsmen will need to be careful with young leg spinner Rishad Hussain on Indian pitches.

Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja, who were part of the Test series, all three have retired from T20, hence a new Team India under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav will be seen trying to shine on the field. At the same time, India has to play a Test series against New Zealand from 16th October, hence the Test playing Indian players in this team have been given rest.

How will Gwalior pitch be?

However, till now no first class match has been played on this new stadium built in the name of Madhavraj Scindia. However, this year Madhya Pradesh Premier League was organized here where it rained heavily. Therefore, there is a possibility of heavy runs in this match between India and Bangladesh.

Gwalior weather report

In contrast to the Kanpur Test where more than two and a half days were lost due to rain, the weather in Gwalior is expected to be completely clear on Sunday and will be favorable for cricket.

Who will be the opening partner?

When India toured Zimbabwe in July, there were four opening batsmen playing together in the Indian team's XI. However, only one opening batsman has been selected in the 15-member squad in the form of Abhishek Sharma for the series against Bangladesh.

On the Zimbabwe tour, Abhishek scored a century in 47 balls, but he could not do anything special in the other three innings. Since Gill and Jaiswal are India's first choice opening batsmen in T20, Abhishek has a golden opportunity to get an edge over other competitors in this series. It is expected that Sanju Samson can open the innings with him.

Eyes will be on Mayank

Pacer Mayank Yadav has been included in the squad for this series against Bangladesh. Everyone will be keeping an eye on him as he impressed with his pace while playing for Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL. He was also awarded Player of the Match in the first two IPL matches but due to injury, he was out of the tournament. He has not played any cricket since then but is fully fit now. It will be interesting to see whether he gets a place in the playing XI or not and if he does, will the pace remain the same or not.

What could be the playing XI of India and Bangladesh?

On this pitch full of runs, both the teams will be looking to achieve better balance. It is expected that Mayank can share the new ball with Arshdeep Singh while Hardik Pandya can play the role of third seamer.

Meanwhile, Mehdi Hasan Miraz can make a comeback in Bangladesh's T20 team after almost a year, while all-rounder Pervez Hossain Emon can also be included in the playing eleven for better balance.

Probable: Playing-11

India: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Riyan Parag, Shivam Dubey, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Mayank Yadav, Arshdeep Singh.

Bangladesh: Liton Das, Pervez Hossain Emon, Tanzid Hasan, Nazmul Hossain Shanto (captain), Mehdi Hasan Miraz, Tauheed Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Rishad Hossain, Tanzeem Hasan Saqib, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman.
