India's search for a perfect T20 combination continue
According to the Cricbuzz report, stand-in captain Rohit Sharma has confirmed that there might not be any changes in the Indian side even after their loss in the first match.
With pressure for series loss, the skipper mentioned that the team will approach the match in a positive way.
Bangladesh eyes historic series victory
Bangladesh has no reason to make any changes to their side. On a slow pitch in Delhi, the visitors led by Mahmudullah had an overall good performance with both bat and the ball. Other than a few tweaks here and there in their approach, the Bangla tigers are unlikely to make any other change for this fixture.
The chances of rain on the matchday are excessive. It is possible that the match might get abandoned due to the rain. This is exactly the situation which puts India under pressure as a drawn match would deprive them of a series win. If the match happens, then we could expect a good batting track with some bounce on it.
