Who will prevail in today's third Twenty20 International between Bangladesh and England?

 


Bangladesh has made history by defeating the reigning world champions, England, in their first-ever T20I series matchup. In the initial T20I, Bangladesh successfully restricted England to a score of 156/6, and then chased down the target in 18 overs with six wickets in hand.

Their performance in the second T20I was even better as they managed to bowl out the English team for just 117 runs and later chased down the target in 18.5 overs with four wickets remaining.

The final T20I between the two teams will take place on Tuesday, March 14th at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. Despite already losing the series, England will look to restore some pride by winning the final game and avoid being swept in the series. Meanwhile, Bangladesh will be aiming to secure a whitewash against the world champions.

Pitch Report for BAN vs ENG:

The Shere Bangla National Stadium has hosted 66 T20Is, where the team batting second has emerged victorious 35 times. The average score in the first innings is 140, and in recent matches, the pitch has been slow. The third game is also expected to be on the slower side, favoring the spinners. Therefore, the captain winning the toss may opt to field first.

Bangladesh (BAN): Litton Das (wk), Rony Talukdar, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Afif Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed, Nasum Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud.

England (ENG): Philip Salt, Dawid Malan, Jos Buttler (c & wk), Ben Duckett, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Chris Woakes, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Rehan Ahmed, Jofra Archer.

Probable Best Performers for BAN vs ENG:

Probable Best Batter:

Philip Salt: The 26-year-old opener looked in good form in the first two games but failed to convert his starts into a big score. He scored 38 runs off 35 balls in the first T20I and 25 off 19 balls in the second game. Salt has two half-centuries in his 14 T20I innings and boasts an impressive strike rate of 149.51.

Probable Best Bowler:

Mehidy Hasan: The 25-year-old spinner has emerged as a match-winner for Bangladesh and has consistently performed well in recent times. In the second T20I, Hasan delivered an outstanding performance by claiming four wickets for just 12 runs in four overs. He will be a significant threat to England with his variations in the third match.

It is really disheartening to play only 5 Tests a year; maybe, we will play more games this year: Mathews, Angelo

  Angelo Mathews, the former captain of Sri Lanka, has expressed his disappointment regarding the lack of Test matches played by the national team. He stated that the insufficient number of Tests being played will not be beneficial for Sri Lanka in the long run. Mathews highlighted his concern about Sri Lanka playing a Test match after a gap of more than six months, as it makes it difficult for the players to get accustomed to a particular routine before preparing for any series. During the first Test against New Zealand in Christchurch, Mathews scored 47 runs and surpassed the 7,000-run mark in Tests. After the game, he expressed his desire for the national side to have more opportunities to play Test matches in the future. Sri Lanka still has a chance to reach the World Test Championship final, with Australia being the only team that has already qualified. The chances for India depend on the outcome of the ongoing fourth and final Test taking place in Ahmedabad against Australia ...

Shaheen Afridi hints support for enduring an onslaught captain Babar Azam with mysterious post

  Pakistan's all-format captain Babar Azam has been rested from the T20I squad for the series against Afghanistan to manage his workload. Reports had suggested that Shaheen Afridi might lead the side in Babar's absence, but the left-arm pacer was also rested along with Babar. Shaheen posted a cryptic tweet backing Babar, amid the debate on his captaincy's impact on his personal form. Shadab Khan will lead the team in the T20I series against Afghanistan, but he stated that the players weren't informed about their omission before the squad was announced.
