BAN-W vs IND-W, 3rd T20I – Pitch Report: Here’s all to know about Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka

Bangladesh Women (BAN-W) will target a consolation win against India Women (IND-W) in the third and final T20I match at Dhaka’s Shere Bangla National Stadium on Thursday, July 13. After losing the first game by seven wickets while defending 114 runs, Bangladesh almost pulled off a memorable win in the second match.

Indian batters struggled against Bangladesh spinners and were restricted to a mere 95/8 total. But India successfully defended 95 runs with Deepti Sharma and Shafali Verma taking three wickets each to seal a series win. Harmanpreet Kaur is likely to make some changes to India’s playing eleven to rest senior players prior to the ODI series starting on July 16.

Pitch Report – BAN-W vs IND-W at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka

The pitch at Shere Bangla National Stadium offers a balanced surface with a good amount of help for spin bowlers in white-ball cricket. The average first innings score here is 139 after 69 T20Is and it further slips to 122 in the second innings. Spinners from both teams are likely to dominate the last game and so fans can expect a low-scoring clash on Thursday.

​Will Toss Matter?

Unlikely, the Indian team has proved its dominance, and losing toss will not affect much on their winning mentality. They easily chased a 115-run target in the first game and successfully defended 95 runs in the second match of this series here.
