Eyes on T20 after winning the test series
Under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, the Indian cricket team had achieved a big 2-0 victory in the Test series against Bangladesh. The rain-affected Kanpur Test match was expected to be a draw but the Indian team won the match in Kanpur too, surprising Bangladesh. Now all eyes are on the T20 series to be played against Bangladesh. The team led by Suryakumar Yadav includes many young players who are desperate to perform brilliantly against Bangladesh. The bad news for the Indian team is that Shivam Dubey is out of the series due to back injury.
Bangladesh preparing for aggressive game
The first T20 match between the teams of India and Bangladesh will be played at the New Madhav Rao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior. Before the match, Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto has said that we will forget the defeat in the Test series and play aggressive cricket in the T20 series against India. He said that we want to win this series. He said that we will not think about our team’s performance in the Test series because we all know that we have not given our best performance in Tests. Now we are ready to give our best performance in T20.

India had to face defeat from New Zealand
The match played by the Indian women’s cricket team against Pakistan is considered very important because in the first match of the T20 World Cup, Harman Sena had to face defeat by 58 runs against New Zealand. In such a situation, the Indian team will have to win today at any cost. India’s bowling looked quite ordinary during the match against New Zealand. In this match, the women batsmen also looked completely colorless while the fielding of the Indian team was also quite poor. In such a situation, the New Zealand team scored 160 runs at the loss of four wickets in 20 overs, whereas in bowling, the Indian team was all out for 102 runs in 19 overs. In this way, India had to face defeat by 58 runs in the first match.

So far 13 matches have been played between the two teams. Out of these, the Indian team has won in 10 matches while Pakistan has been victorious in three matches.
Why is the Indian team considered heavy?
If we talk about T20 World Cup, the two teams have clashed six times. The Indian team has won four of these matches while the Pakistan team has won two matches. Pakistan had defeated Sri Lanka by 16 runs in the first match and hence the Pakistan team would like to maintain the winning streak today. On the other hand, Harman’s army will try to achieve its first victory in the World Cup by defeating Pakistan in the ongoing World Cup today. The match against Pakistan is considered to be ‘do or die’. In such a situation, cricket fans have high expectations from the Indian women’s team today.
