1st T20I, India vs Bangladesh – Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report, Team and Weather Conditions

Amid all the off-field issues, India and Bangladesh play each other in the first T20-I on Sunday. A number of changes have been made by either side with India set to field the likes of Khaleel Ahmed and Shivam Dube. Bangladesh is without Tamim Iqbal and has been derailed by the suspension of Shakib Al Hasan as well. In spite of the aforementioned, Bangladesh should give India a tough fight with Virat Kohli being rested for the series. All in all, a good game of cricket awaits from the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday.

Match Details

India vs Bangladesh
November 3rd, 7:00 PM IST

Pitch Report

Delhi has traditionally favoured the spinners although the batsmen should be able to play the natural game. With the pacers bound to get some swing as well, an even contest between bat and ball awaits.

Weather Report

Although there are issues over the quality of air and pollution, the weather is clear for a good game of cricket. While dew could play a factor as well, humid conditions are on the forecast for this match.

Injuries: No injuries are reported from either side

Probable Playing XI

India:

In spite of resting a number of first-choice players, India is still a formidable unit with Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan opening the batting for them. While KL Rahul is expected to bat at number three, the likes of Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant assume the roles of floaters depending on the situation. Shivam Dube should be handed a debut with Krunal Pandya, Yuzvendra Chahal and Washington Sundar forming a fearsome spin trio. Deepak Chahar’s spell with the new ball will be one to watch out for.

Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Dube, Krunal Pandya, Washington Sundar, Deepak Chahar, Yuzvendra Chahal and Khaleel Ahmed

Bangladesh:

Bangladesh’s fortunes depend on Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah Riyad, who captains the side as well. Soumya Sarkar and Liton Das should open the batting for them with Mohammad Mithun also expected to feature. The duo of Mosaddek Hossain Saikat and Afif Hossain provide the balance in the side. With Mohammad Saifuddin unavailable, the onus falls on Mustafizur Rahman to deliver against the Indians.

Soumya Sarkar, Liton Das, Mohammad Mithun, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah Riyad, Mosaddek Hossain, Afif Hossain, Aminul Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Shafiul Islam and Taijul Islam.

Top Picks:

Rohit Sharma’s record as a captain is exemplary with the Mumbaikar scoring a hundred as well. He is a must have in the side along with Krunal Pandya, who is a consistent performer for the Indian side. Rishabh Pant and Mushfiqur Rahim are picked as the wicket-keeper options for this game while the mercurial, Soumya Sarkar should also be backed to score some runs at the top of the order. Afif Hossain, who had a good showing in the tri-series against Afghanistan and Zimbabwe, is also a worth-while option while the trio of Mustafizur Rahman, Yuzvendra Chahal and Deepak Chahar comprise the bowling department of the fantasy team for this game.

Captaincy Options:

1. Rohit Sharma
2. Deepak Chahar
3. Mushfiqur Rahim
