Nidahas Trophy 2018, Bangladesh vs India, 5th T20I – Statistical Preview

Indian middle-order proved their worth in the game against Sri Lanka after none of the top three batsmen scored big during the run-chase. The Indian bowlers showed their character in restricting the opposition after getting thwacked early on. India will need their skipper to score few runs leading into the final. Bangladesh, on the other hand, will carry the confidence of defeating the hosts in a huge run-chase and hope to end their T20I jinx against India.

All the stats and numbers to be looked out ahead of India’s final league game:

1 – Bangladesh won only two of their last 15 matches in the T20I format. Both those wins came against Sri Lanka in Colombo (RPS) as they defeated the home team by 45 runs in 2017 and a 5-wicket win in the 3rd game of the tournament.

6 – Since Dinesh Karthik’s comeback to the International cricket in 2017, India won six International games (3 ODIs and 3 T20Is) while chasing with Karthik in the playing XI. He remained unbeaten in all those six successful chases.

8 – Runs scored by Shikhar Dhawan in the previous game; his first single-digit score in International cricket 2018. The left-hander scored more than 30 runs in nine out of his previous 12 innings at the International level.

10 – Rohit Sharma’s batting average in T20I cricket in 2018. He scored 60 runs in the six T20I innings this year he batted with two ducks and a best of 21.
