Who will win India vs Bangladesh, 1st T20 2019?
Bangladesh will start their year without suspended star player Shakib-al-Hasan with a T20i series away to India. The three-match series kicks off in Delhi, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, on November 3 and the live action is scheduled for 19:00 local time.
Bangladesh, who are also without Tamim Iqbal, will be led by Mahmudullah as they look to build on a successful home tri-nation series against Afghanistan and Zimbabwe. The series is preparation for both teams ahead of next year’s ICC T20 World Cup.
India, on the other hand, go into this series without rested captain Virat Kohli. Rohit Sharma leads the team instead as they look to build on a 3-0 win against West Indies and 1-1 draw with South Africa in their last two T20i series.

India Team News & Playing 11
IND Team News
With Virat Kohli rested, Rohit Sharma will lead India in this series. MS Dhoni remains absent, while Navdeep Saini and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are unavailable due to fitness issues. Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah are also both recovering from recent back surgery. With Pandya out, Shivam Dube has been called up and could be a like-for-like replacement. There have also been recalls for Sanju Samson, Shardul Thakur and Yuzvendra Chahal.
IND Key Players
Rohit Sharma: After a brilliant test series against South Africa, which concluded with his double century, the big-hitting stand-in captain will now look to return to form in the shortest format – he has 17 half-centuries and four centuries to his name in T20i cricket.
Shikhar Dhawan: Scored 40 and 36 in the two matches against South Africa in September, and will want to go further as he bids to add to his nine T20i half-centuries. In all T20 cricket, Dhawan has passed 50 on 53 occasions.
Deepak Chahar: The top Indian wicket-taker in this year’s IPL, he will get another chance with Bumrah and Kumar absent as he looks to add to the two wickets he took against South Africa.
IND Team Form
India whitewashed West Indies in August, but come into this series on the back of a draw with South Africa. Virat Kohli hit 72* as India chased 150 to win the second match by seven wickets (the first having been rained off), but they lost the final game heavily after struggling to 134/9 – going down by nine wickets with 3.1 overs to spare.
India Predicted Playing 11
Rohit Sharma (c), Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wk), Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Dube, Krunal Pandya, Washington Sundar, Deepak Chahar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Khaleel Ahmed
Bangladesh Team News & Playing 11
BAN Team News
Bangladesh have been rocked by the news the ICC have suspended Shakib-al-Hasan for failing to report three corrupt approaches. The Tigers will be without their captain and star man for the next 12 months. They also go into this series without Tamim Iqbal – whose partner is due to give birth – and injured bowler Mohammad Saifuddin.
BAN Key Players
Mustafizur Rahman: The left-arm paceman has taken 52 wickets in 34 T20 internationals, at an average of 18.71. In the recent Tri-Series, he took four wickets in the four matches he played.
Liton Das: The big-hitting opener boasts the highest strike rate of any Bangladeshi player in T20i cricket, having scored his 448 runs in 21 innings at a strike rate of 141.32.
Mahmudullah: The stand-in captain has scored 1,371 runs in T20i cricket for Bangladesh – only Tamim Iqbal and Shakib-al-Hasan have scored more. He also has the fifth-best strike rate of 122.41.
BAN Team Form
Bangladesh come into this series having most recently faced Afghanistan and Zimbabwe at home. The Tigers won three of their four matches but the final of the Tri Series was rained off. They beat Zimbabwe first up, thanks to Afif Hossain’s 52 from 26 balls and then bounced back from defeat to Afghanistan by beating both teams in the second round of fixtures.
Mahmudullah scored a half-century in a 39-run win against Zimbabwe, while Shakib-al-Hasan hit 70* from 45 balls in a four-wicket win against Afghanistan. It meant Bangladesh topped the group.
Bangladesh Predicted Playing 11
Liton Das, Soumya Sarkar, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mahmudullah (c), Mohammad Naim, Sabbir Rahman, Afif Hossain, Mosaddek Hossain, Shafiul Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Abu Haider
