On October 6, Team India and Bangladesh will play the 1st T20I game of their three-match series. The Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior will serve as the match’s hosting venue, and play will get underway at 7:00 PM.
Match Preview
In T20Is, India has been in tremendous form, beating Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka 4-1 and 3-0, respectively, at their home. Additionally, the “Men in Blue” won the 2024 T20 World Cup in the West Indies back in June. With another sweep of Bangladesh, the Indian team, who is currently on a seven-game winning streak, will look to maintain their dominance in the format. The leader of the team, Suryakumar Yadav, will have assistance from fellow senior Hardik Pandya.
On the other hand, Bangladesh lost three of its matches in the final stages of the T20 World Cup in the West Indies, capping up a poor season. Bangladesh, led by Najmul Hossain Shanto, will be looking to make a clean sweep, with an eye toward the next T20 World Cup. From the outset, Mustafizur Rahman, Litton Das, and skipper Shanto will be among the more experienced players in the visiting team.

Pitch Report, Gwalior
The newly constructed Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium will be hosting its first-ever international game, and the pitch at this venue, where the Ind vs Ban T20I match takes place, is expected to be batting-friendly. Since the stadium hasn’t hosted any matches yet, it is impossible to assess the surface’s behavior. To evaluate the pitch behavior and playing conditions, the captain who wins the toss will probably choose to field first.
