BAN vs IND, 3rd ODI Preview

The final ODI of the three game series between Bangladesh and India takes place on Saturday afternoon at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chittagong. The hosts have already secured the series after victories in Mirpur on Sunday and Wednesday earlier this week. Bangladesh come into this match with the series already confirmed and could be able to play to an even higher level with the freedom that allows. However, it would still be a huge surprise if they were to take the series 3-0. India have had a few useful individual performances in the opening two games but not enough to win either match. With the quality in the team we expect them to get a victory to close off the series.

BAN vs IND, 3rd ODI Pitch Report

We expect the pitch in Chittagong to be the best for batting in this series and a par score could well be approaching 300. A wicket with pace and bounce is usually prepared at this venue. Although there will be some cloud cover in the first part of the game, there will always be some sunny intervals. The temperature will peak at 28 degrees but will be over 25 throughout the match.

Topmost Picks for BAN vs IND Dream11 Prediction, 3rd ODI:

Top Picks – Bangladesh

• Liton Das – Although the skipper made only seven runs from 33 balls in a slow innings on Wednesday, he will be looking forward to playing in Chittagong where he averages 50.38 from 19 international innings.
• Ebadot Hossain – The 28 year old right arm pace bowler has picked up seven wickets in this series so far. Of the established batters, he has dismissed Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul.

Top Picks – India

• Virat Kohli – With skipper Rohit Sharma ruled out of this match with a thumb injury, we expect Kohli to take his place at the top of the order. This will be his first international appearance at this venue and he will want to make an impact.
• Mohammed Siraj – The enthusiastic 28 year old right arm pace bowler has taken 10 wickets from his last four ODIs. Although he was expensive in the second game of the series, he dismissed both of Bangladesh’s openers.

BAN vs IND 3rd ODI Probable Winners:

The lower order runs for Bangladesh have been crucial in both victories and India’s bowlers will need to find a new approach to bowling at them with an old ball. If India’s batters perform then they should have no problems in this ODI. Before the start of the series, very few analysts were anticipating a Bangladesh victory let alone a potential Bangladesh 3-0 scoreline by the close of play on December 10. However, a mixture of poor India performances and some incredible lower-order hitting from Mehidy Hasan Miraz have shown that it is all possible. We expect to see India deliver with the bat in this match and to get a consolation victory ahead of the Test series. Considering the team combination, India is expected to win this match.
