India’s Probable Playing 11 For 3rd T20I Against Bangladesh: India have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match T20I series against Bangladesh with the final T20I set to be played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad later this evening. With India having already bagged the series, it is expected that the Suryakumar Yadav-led side could make a few changes to their Playing 11, giving a chance to those who have been warming the benches so far.

Notably, the likes of Ravi Bishnoi, Tilak Verma, Jitesh Sharma and Harshit Rana warmed the benches in the first two T20Is and thus could be given a go in Hyderabad with the result of the final T20I set to have no impact on the series which is already won by the hosts. The weather, however, could also play a role in the Team combination and strategy for this match with rain expected in evening.
The match also marks a homecoming for Abhishek Sharma who plays for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The left-hander amassed 284 runs in the tournament this year, including three half-centuries at a strike rate of 249.12 in Hyderabad.
Sanju Samson too would like to make the most of this chance as an opener in this series. With Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal rested for this series, Samson has got this chance and the Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain would want to grab it with both hands in the series finale.
