IND vs BDESH 2024/25, IND vs BAN 3rd T20I Match Report, October 12, 2024

India continued to put themselves under pressure to score a total and defend 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, who are currently leading the T20I series 2-0, are looking to complete a repeat in all formats after their 2-0 win in the Tests.

After sealing the series, India gave left-arm quick Arshdeep Singh a rest but could not find a like-for-like replacement in Harshit Rana, who was suffering from a viral infection and was not present in Hyderabad. This could prove to be a boon for Kolkata Knight Riders as Rana remains uncapped until October 31, the deadline for IPL teams to secure their signings, and they can retain him for a lesser amount. Ravi Bishnoi has come in and that is the only change India has made.

Bangladesh made two changes for their final game of the tour. Opening batsman Tanzid Hasan Tamim and all-rounder Mahedi Hasan replaced Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Jaker Ali. Miraz had a disappointing game in Delhi while Jaker was unable to live up to high expectations.

This was Mahmudullah’s last T20 international for Bangladesh. At the end of the huddle during warm-ups, he was presented with a souvenir.
