IND vs BAN, 3rd T20I | Fantasy Tips, Prediction & Preview
India will play against Bangladesh in the third fixture of the three-match T20I series. After completing a dominating run in the first two matches, team India will be looking to whitewash the T20I series. Meanwhile, the visitors will look to avoid another series whitewash of the tour.

Suryakumar Yadav's Men in Blue opened the series with a convincing 7-wicket victory. The hosts then registered a comfortable win, beating the visitors by 86 runs to clinch the series 2-0. The Indian side, full of young and experienced players, is likely to maintain its momentum heading into the 3rd T20I. Players like Nitish Kumar Reddy and Rinku Singh, who were pivotal in the 2nd T20I, will be key figures. Reddy’s remarkable innings and his impressive bowling are signs that India’s depth is strong, while Rinku’s consistency adds stability in the middle order. With India’s bowlers, particularly their spinners and all-rounders, in fine form, they could once again trouble Bangladesh and restrict their batting efforts.
On the other hand, Bangladesh will be eager to bounce back after two consecutive losses in the series. Their top-order batsmen, including captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, will need to find ways to counter India’s disciplined bowling. Although Mahmudullah showed resilience in the 2nd T20I, the rest of the team failed to provide enough support. For Bangladesh to be competitive, both the batting and bowling units need to perform cohesively. Their bowlers, especially in the powerplay, must contain India’s aggressive batsmen early on to have a fighting chance. The visiting team will play for their pride as they will try to salvage something from the tour after four consecutive losses, two each in Tests and the T20Is.
