IND vs BAN Dream11 Prediction, 1st T20I: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Dream11 Team, Playing XI, and Pitch Report

Match Preview: IND vs BAN Dream11 Prediction, 1st T20I

India is set to take on Bangladesh in the first T20I of the three-match series on Sunday, October 6, 2024, at the New Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium, Gwalior. The match will start at 7:00 PM IST.

After a dominant 2-0 win in the Test series, India will be looking to maintain their supremacy in the shortest format as well. However, with several first-choice players rested, Suryakumar Yadav will lead a relatively inexperienced squad. Bangladesh, on the other hand, is in a transition phase, especially without Shakib Al Hasan, and will aim to compete fiercely under the captaincy of Najmul Hossain Shanto.

Team News

India has made several changes from their main squad. Shivam Dube is ruled out due to injury, with Tilak Varma stepping in as his replacement. Mayank Yadav might make his T20I debut, while Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy have a fair chance as well.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh will be without their star all-rounder Shakib, who has retired from T20Is, and will rely on young talents like Towhid Hridoy and Tanzid Hasan.

Top Players to Pick for IND vs BAN Dream11 Contest

Sanju Samson: The hard-hitting Rajasthan Royals batter will open the innings and will also keep wickets in this series. Samson is an explosive batter who likes to take on the bowling. He will enjoy the batting friendly conditions in Gwalior.

Mayank Yadav: The talented pacer might be making his debut in this match but everyone is familiar with what he did in IPL 2024. If he can repeat the same things today, Mayank will trouble the Bangladeshi batters with his pace. He has a high chance of picking up multiple wickets tonight.

Najmul Hossain Shanto: The Bangladeshi skipper is their best batter and has been in good form of late. With four fifties to his name in this format, he has a high chance of emerging as Bangladesh’s top run getter in this match.

Captaincy Picks for IND vs BAN Dream11 Contest

  1. Hardik Pandya – His all-round abilities make him a top pick for captaincy. He can make an impact on the game with both bat and ball, which gives him a chance to score big in fantasy cricket. Moreover, Hardik has a very good record of performing against Bangladesh.
  2. Suryakumar Yadav – Known for his aggressive batting, Yadav is an ideal captaincy choice for those seeking big runs. He is India’s best batter in this format.
  3. Abhishek Sharma – He has been in good form and is likely to play a key role as an opener. His recent performances make him a smart choice for vice-captaincy.

Player to Avoid for IND vs BAN Dream11 Contest

Rinku Singh – Although talented, Rinku might not get a chance to bat in this match as he bats at No.7 and the Indian top 6 is very strong He is a risk in a high-stakes fantasy game, and it’s better to opt for a player who will have more involvement in the match.
