In what could have been a golden chance for players like Jitesh Sharma, Tilak Varma, Ravi Bishnoi, and Harshit Rana, it seems that rain might just play a spoilsport in the third IND vs BAN T20I in Hyderabad. These players haven’t gotten a chance in the series so far, and with Suryakumar Yadav & Co. ahead 2-0 already, new faces could have been roped in for the last match.
As of now, even though the players are on the field, as per the fans who have reached the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, but the covers in certain areas still remain. That is because, there is a 40% chance of rain, and worse, a 24% chance of a thunderstorm.
Having that said, that were a few fans, who tweeted out clear weather from the venue.
IND vs BAN, 3rd T20I
It has been smooth sailing for India so far in the series. The hosts won the first match by 7 wickets, chasing 128 in Gwalior, and followed that up with an emphatic 86-run win in Delhi, where Nitish Reddy went bonkers in his74-run innings. India had managed to score 221 there, and in reply Bangladesh only managed 135/9.
As far as the third IND vs BAN T20I is concerned, Sanju Samson emerged as the hero of the first innings, as he slammed a 100 in only 40 deliveries. Followed with that, Suryakumar Yadav scored 75 from 35 deliveries, as the Indian team inched closer towards their highest-ever total in T20Is.
The carnage did not stop there as Hardik Pandya and Riyan Parag took the baton. The duo managed to keep the run rate over 15 for the team. Such was the situation, that Team India was sitting pretty at 267/3 in only 18 overs, with 12 deliveries still remaining.
