After a disastrous Test series in India, Bangladesh have continued to struggle in the T20 series as well. Due to severe batting failures, they lost the first two T20s by large margins. Except for Taskin Ahmed, their bowling in the second match also lacked impact. With two defeats, the series is already decided in favor of the opposition, making today's match a mere formality.
In the third and final T20 of the series today, Bangladesh faces India. Bangladesh's luck at the toss did not favor them, and after losing the toss, Najmul Hossain Shanto's team will take the field first. The match will begin at 7:30 PM Bangladesh time at Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium.
