Bangladesh has started their India tour with an amazing win by 7 wickets! Bangladesh is on the tour to India for playing three T20 matches and 2 test matches. In the first T20 match Bangladesh created history by defeating India for the first time in the T20 format.
Now, for India, it is the time to pull their socks to win this match. Otherwise, they will lose this series.
The venue for the second T20I is Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot. There is a slight chance of rain in Rajkot on the 7th November due to Cyclone Maha.
India
As India gives playing opportunities to youngsters to have more backup options for ICC T20 WC. Now, the team is hoping for some good performances from the youngsters as they failed to do so in the first match.
Krunal Pandya missed the opportunity by the catch drop of Mushfiqur Rahim in the 18th over.
Khaleel Ahmed also gifted 4 boundaries in a row to Mushfiqur Rahim in the crucial 19th over. The two mistakes led to India’s huge defeat against Bangladesh.
India batting struggled to cope with the lack of pace of the Delhi pitch and good opposition bowling, They only managed to score a below-par total.
Before coming on the ground for the second match Indians players need to analyse their previous match mistakes and should be determined not to repeat them in this very match.
They have to work in each department of the game whether it is batting, bowling or fielding.
No changes are expected from India team in second T20I as they would like to give more chances to the youngsters.

Cricket fans witnessed teamwork in their first victory against India! As nobody has expected that this team will come out as winner against strong opposition like India. They have shown good cricket in all parts of the game.
Every player contributed their effort to make this win possible and appreciable performance
Mushfiqur Rahim scoring 60* (43), youngsters Afif Hossian 1-11(3) and Animul Islam 2-22(3). The spin bowling of both Afif and Animul halted India’s scoring rate in the middle overs, and took crucial wickets to ensure that target to chase was below par. During the chase Mushfiqur Rahim rode his luck and took advantage of the opposition to finish the match in favour of Bangladesh. In the second T20I in Rajkot, Bangladesh will look to continue their good performances and also win the T20I series with the match to spare. Bangladesh will likely not change the winning combination in the second T20I.
