The 3rd T20I between India and Bangladesh is set to take place at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on 12 October. This match is a dead rubber as India has already won the series in Delhi with a huge victory in the second T20I. For India, this match doesn’t carry much weight, but for Bangladesh, it’s all about pride. Bangladesh will be looking to avoid a 0-3 sweep and finish their India tour on a positive note. However, based on the performances of the last two games, Bangladesh faces a tough challenge. Still, as in any sport, anything can happen on the day, so it will be interesting to see who comes out on top.
The pitch at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is known for being a batting-friendly surface. It has a good bounce, which allows batters to play aggressive shots. While spinners can get some turn, fast bowlers may find some advantage in the dry conditions by using slower deliveries.
