Tanzid steps down the track and lofts it over mid-off. A well-directed leg-cutter from Harshit, but Tanzid reaches the pitch and lifts it back over his head. With mid-off inside the circle, it’s a safe shot, and despite not timing it perfectly, the ball trickles to the boundary.

A tight over from Mohammed Shami, conceding just one run while taking the crucial wicket of Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Bangladesh is under pressure at 27/3, with Towhid Hridoy (1 off 4) and Tanzid Hasan (20 off 21) at the crease. Shami (4-0-20-2) and Harshit Rana (3-0-7-1) continue to keep India in control.

The straight boundary measures 82 meters, making it a challenging hit down the ground. However, behind the wicket, the boundaries are shorter at 57m and 61m, with one square boundary slightly shorter than the other. Despite hosting an entire ILT20 tournament recently, the pitch remains fresh. Both teams anticipated dry conditions on match eve, and the groundsman confirmed no dew has been observed this year. With runs expected to be moderate, batting first could prove to be an advantage.

It is likely for Harshit Rana, the KKR pacer, to st this one out. Although his performance has been impressive in his debut ODI series, but considering Dubai’s pitch, Mohammad Shami’s variations are likely to work more in India’s favour. Arshdeep may also get a nod ahead of Rana.

India’s predicted XI players include Rohit Sharma (c), Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya, KL Rahul, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, and Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh.

Ahead of the match, Rohit Sharma expressed full confidence n his team when asked about playing in Dubai’s tricky conditions. Rohit said if the weather is cloudy, then India has the bowling strength to handle it. If the conditions are favorable for the bowlers, then they have the right bowlers to exploit that. And if they’re batting in those conditions, their batters know exactly how to approach it.
