Bangladesh and India will face each other in the third T20I of the three-game series at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on Thursday (July 13). The Women in Blue have already clinched the series by winning the opening two matches against the hosts.
Speaking of the previous match between the two sides, India emerged victorious in a low-scoring second T20I by eight runs. Deepti Sharma and Shafali Verma bagged three wickets for the hosts and played a major role in helping India defend a below-par total of 95 runs. Although Nigar Sultana played a resilient 38-run knock for Bangladesh, she failed to get her team across the line.
India will now look to finish things off in style by registering a third consecutive win over the hosts. Meanwhile, Bangladesh will be determined to avoid the clean sweep by the visitors.
