The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has officially announced the eagerly awaited schedule for India’s upcoming tour to Bangladesh later this month. Set to kick off on April 28, the five-match T20I series will see three exhilarating day-night fixtures, all hosted in Sylhet.
This series assumes heightened significance as both teams gear up for the impending ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, slated to take place in Bangladesh later this year. With the tournament looming on the horizon, each match in this series becomes a vital platform for fine-tuning strategies and testing mettle.
India, currently positioned at No.3 in the ICC Women’s T20I Rankings, will seek to harness their prowess, while Bangladesh, ranked at No.9, will endeavor to leverage the home advantage to make their mark.
Reflecting on past encounters, India’s previous tour to Bangladesh in July 2023 witnessed gripping contests across both T20Is and ICC Women’s Championship ODIs. Although India clinched the T20I series 2-1, Bangladesh scripted history by securing their maiden victory against India in Women’s ODIs, setting the stage for a fiercely contested series finale.
The thrilling conclusion saw both teams locked in a tie, culminating in a shared series outcome. With memories of their last encounter fresh in mind, anticipation mounts for another captivating showdown between these cricketing powerhouses.
