ABOUT THE MATCH
Bangladesh leads the series 1-0 and now will play the 2nd T20 in the Three-game T20 series with India. The match will take place on November 7 at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot. The live telecast for this match will start at 19:00 (local time).
Despite Shakib’s absence, Bangladesh has pulled out a stunner in the 1st game. Mushfiqur Rahim has taken the role of an anchor and made a blazing 60* to help his team chase a target of 149 runs in 19.3 overs.
Finally, India has lost its winning streak in T20’s. Before this game, Team India won all the eight T20 games against Bangladesh. Indian openers were unable to start the inning well and that has cost the team a lot.
TOSS PREDICTION
The pitch at Rajkot is a batting wicket. Whichever team wins the toss will opt to bat first and give a tough total for the opposition to chase.
PITCH AND CONDITIONS
Rajkot’s pitch has always favored the batsman in all the formats. We can expect some big hitting and some big chasing.
But here is some bad news for all the cricket fans. Cyclone Maya is on its way and is expected to make its fall before the match day. And it might also spoil the matchday with heavy rains and stormy conditions.
