MATCH PREVIEW
We are in the last game of the three-match series. Bangladeshi players have got a real taste of the strengths of the World Champions, the Indian team, on this tour. The visitors have lost all their games, starting with the Test Matches. They went down by 86 runs in the last game to lose the series in straight games and shall aim for a face-saving win before leaving India. The Indian team has been clinical in this series and will start the game with higher odds. It will take a big-hearted effort from the Bangladeshis to win this game, and the fans expect a strong show from them.
India Preview
Suryakumar Yadav will be happy with his team's performance. His team has put up dominating performances in both games. The batting lineup is in good form, and the bowlers have not allowed the visitors to put them under pressure. The odds are overwhelmingly in their favor on cricket betting sites, and the team will aim for a whitewash.
Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma will look to take on the bowlers, as both have looked in good touch. Nitish Reddy played a match-winning knock in the last game and will look to do well with Suryakumar Yadav and Rinku Singh. Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, and Riyan Parag strengthen the team's batting lineup.
The team expects a good show with the new ball from Arshdeep Singh and Nitish Reddy, as the Bangladeshi top order hasn't been in good form. Varun Chakravarthy and Washington Sundar used the conditions well in the last game, and a similar show will put the team in a strong position. Mayank Yadav, Pandya, Parag, and Abhishek Sharma add depth to this bowling attack.
Expected Starting XI for India
Suryakumar Yadav (c), Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wk), Nitish Reddy, Hardik Pandya, Riyan Parag, Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar, Varun Chakravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Mayank Yadav
Bangladesh Preview
Najmul Hossain Shanto's team has been no match for the Indians in either game. They have struggled with the bat and the ball and need to improve. The team has a poor record against India, with only one victory to celebrate in 16 games over the years. Most cricket betting apps have given them poor odds, and Shanto would like a strong show from his players.
Parvez Hossain Emon and Litton Das aren't converting their starts, and the team expects a better start at the top. Najmul Hossain Shanto must lead from the front in the middle order and add runs with Towhid Hridoy and Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Rishad Hossain, and Jaker Ali must do well in the lower middle order.
On the bowling front, the team expects a good show from Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Taskin Ahmed at the start. Mustafizur Rahman has struggled with his line, and the side will need him to bring his experience into the picture. Rishad Hossain, Mahmudullah, and Tanzim Hasan Sakib must deliver the goods in supporting roles.
Expected Starting XI for Bangladesh
Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Parvez Hossain Emon, Litton Das (wk), Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Jaker Ali, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Mustafizur Rahman
TOSS: To Bowl First
In the past, most teams have won games at this venue, bowling first. The wicket stays true throughout the game, allowing the sides to chase big scores. The team winning the toss would look to bowl first and restrict the opposition to a small total.
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
We will have skies over Hyderabad. It will be a good track to bat on, but the overcast conditions will make it a bit easy for the bowlers. Bowlers must execute their plans well at this venue to do well. The side batting first would like more than 200 runs on the board.
OUR PREDICTION
Bangladesh is low on confidence and form. Their batsmen have struggled to score runs, and the bowling attack has looked toothless. They will need to play positively to challenge the hosts, who are dominating them The Indians have their batsmen in good form, and the bowlers are executing their plans flawlessly. The Indians will start favorites based on their good form.
Our prediction is for India to win
