The third T20I between India and Bangladesh is set to take place in Hyderabad on October 12. Here's the weather forecast for the match.
This is the third and final match of the sides' bilateral series, which has seen the hosts overpower Bangladesh in both matches so far. In Gwalior, Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakaravarthy led the bowling with three wickets apiece, before a team batting effort was given the finishing touches by Hardik Pandya as they chased down 128 inside 12 overs.
In the second match in Delhi, India recovered from 41-3 in the Powerplay to post an imposing 221-9, thanks to Nitish Kumar Reddy's 34-ball blitz of 74, and Rinku Singh's half-century (53). The second innings then saw all seven Indian bowlers pick up at least one wicket to secure a win by 86 runs.
Having wrapped up the series, India will be hoping to give some game time to the other squad members Jitesh Sharma, Harshit Rana, Ravi Bishnoi and Tilak Varma. But could they be perhaps be denied this chance by the rain?
