Leading 1-0 in their ongoing three-match series, India take on Bangladesh in the second T20I on Wednesday, in New Delhi. The hosts will be aiming for a series-clinching victory, and will be hoping to beat the Delhi heat.
The hosts were dominant in the first T20I in Gwalior. Their pace battery tore apart Bangladesh’s batting order, complemented with stunning spin magic. During the run chase, the openers reduced the deficit by 55 percent within the PowerPlay. Then it was wrapped by Suryakumar Yadav’s short cameo and Hardik Pandya’s unbeaten power-hitting knock.
The visitors really need a win after losing the Test series. Even a match will do, but they haven’t been able to put up a serious challenge yet. In the first T20I, India reached 132/3 in 11.5 overs, in their chase of 128 runs. Hardik remained unbeaten with a knock of 39* runs off 16 balls.
Initially, Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakaravarthy’s three-wicket haul silenced Bangladesh, who were bowled out for 127 in 19.5 overs.
The match is scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM IST and according to Accuweather, the temperature in New Delhi will be 31 degrees Celsius at that time. There is no chance of rain and humidity will be 41 percent.
During the match, the temperature is expected to hover between 31 degrees Celsius and 27 degrees Celsius.
The Arun Jaitley Stadium is a high-scoring venue, and we could see this match follow a similar result. Since 2022, the stadium hosted 12 IPL matches and a T20I, and sides who have batted first have won eight of those fixtures.
We could see Suryakumar experiment with his playing XI, and fans will want to see Harshik Rana in action. Meanwhile, Litton Das hurt his finger in Gwalior. But is reportedly fit to play.
