IND vs BAN 1st T20I Live Score: Welcome to ABP Live’s live coverage of the India vs Bangladesh 1st T20I at the New Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior. After registering an emphatic 2-0 series win over Bangladesh in the Test series, the Men in Blue will look to continue the winning trend in the three-match T20I series as well. Suryakumar Yadav will lead a young Indian squad against the Bangla Tigers, with none of the players from the recent Test matches featuring in this lineup.
Team India will see the likes of Rinku Singh, Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya, Riyan Parag and Mayank Yadav in the team. Suryakumar confirmed that Sanju Samson is set to open with Abhishek Sharma.
Whereas Bangladesh, on the other hand, are set to feature some of the veterans that we saw in the Tests in their T20I team lineup. The likes of Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Tawhid Hridoy, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed are expected to feature in the team.
Gwalior is set to host an international match after 14 years. Last time an international match took place in the city, Sachin Tendulkar etched his name in the history books by becoming the first player to score a double century in One Day Internationals. However, Roop Singh Stadium was the venue that hosted that match, whereas Madhavrao Scindia stadium will host its first international match with the IND vs BAN T20I.
The pitch is expected to favour the batters and will remain similar throughout the course of the game.
Coming to the head-to-head records, India and Bangladesh have locked horns on 13 occasions in the T20Is. India have a near-perfect record against the neighbours as they have won 12 times and Bangladesh have managed to win just 1 match out of the 13.
