IND vs BDESH 2024/25, IND vs BAN 3rd T20I Match Report, October 12, 2024
India continued to put themselves under the pressure of posting a total and defending in the dew as they won the toss and decided to bat first. Najmul Hassan Shanto, the Bangladesh captain, said Bangladesh would have chased anyway. India, currently leading the T20I series 2-0, are looking to complete a whitewash across formats after winning the Tests 2-0.
Having sealed the series, India rested left-arm quick Arshdeep Singh, but couldn’t feature a like-for-like replacement in Harshit Rana, who was down with a viral infection and didn’t travel to the ground in Hyderabad. This could prove to be a blessing for Kolkata Knight Riders as Rana stays uncapped till October 31, the deadline for IPL teams to lock in their retentions, and they can retain him for a smaller amount. Ravi Bishnoi has come in and that is the only change India made.
Bangladesh made two changes for their last match on the tour. Opening batter Tanzid Hasan Tamim and allrounder Mahedi Hasan replaced Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Jaker Ali. Miraz had a disappointing match in Delhi while Jaker has not been able to live up to the billing of big hitting.
This was Mahmudullah’s last T20 international for Bangladesh. He was presented a memento at the end of the huddle during the warm-ups.
