The Indian cricket team is slated to play the third T20I of the three-match series against Bangladesh at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Saturday, October 12. The hosts have an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match T20I series after defeating Bangladesh comprehensively by six wickets in first game in Gwalior, followed by an 86-run win in Delhi just a couple of nights ago.
During these first two T20I matches, the majority of the Indian players have made key contributions with the bat, ball, and in the field. Arshdeep Singh was the player of the match in the first T20I for his bowling spell of 3/14, while Nitish Kumar Reddy, who was playing in his second international game, took the coveted prize after scoring his maiden fifty and taking a couple of key wickets in the bowling innings against Bangladesh.
There could a chance of a shower during India vs Bangladesh third T20I
After making no changes in the playing XI for the first and second T20I, the Indian team management will be looking to give chances to some players on the bench. The likes of Ravi Bishnoi and Harshit Rana are firmly in line to be a part of the Indian playing XI in the third T20I in place of Varun Chakravarthy and Arshdeep Singh respectively.
Talking about the weather for the third T20Il at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, there is an expectation of a thunderstorm in spots in the morning before the afternoon hours bring some intervals of clouds and sunshine, according to the listings on AccuWeather. But, most importantly, in the night hours, when the match is scheduled to begin, there will be a bit of cloud with some moonlight, but a passing shower could be in the offing as well.
The probability of precipitation on Saturday, October 12, stands at 40% in the day and 25% in the night in Hyderabad. Meanwhile, the probability of thunderstorms goes down from 24% to 6% while comparing the daytime hours to the nighttime hours, which is a promising sign for the match to happen without much interruption.
