The third T20I of the ongoing series between India and Bangladesh is scheduled at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on 12 October. This match is a dead rubber, as India already clinched the series in Delhi by defeating Bangladesh by the biggest win margin in the 20-over game. For India, this match does not have much significance, but for Bangladesh, this match is a matter of pride. As they try to finish this tour of India on a positive note with a win, plus 1-2 is a more respectable scoreline to lose rather than a 0-3 clean sweep. However, for Bangladesh saving themselves by being cleanly swept by this young Indian side is looking almost impossible considering the performances of the last two matches. But in cricket, every new day starts with zero; irrespective of what a player or team has done in the past, they have to start from the beginning again. So, it will be interesting to see who will win today’s match and succeed in their intentions. Whether Bangladesh can save their respect or will India succeed in clean-sweeping Bangladesh in T20Is after Tests.
