India’s captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, won the toss and chose to bat against Bangladesh in the fifth and final T20I of the series at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Thursday. India aims to secure a clean sweep against Bangladesh in the series. Despite Bangladesh’s resilience in the previous four matches, they fell short of victory each time.
Their goal now is to prevent a 0-5 defeat. Throughout the series, Bangladesh’s batting performance has been a significant concern. They have yet to score 120 runs in any match. Their focus in the final T20I will be on improving their batting display.
Rain has impacted the series in the initial four matches, with the fourth T20I shortened to 14 overs. Despite this, India claimed victory by 56 runs using the DLS Method.
