Harmanpreet Kaur-led team India (IND-W) has clinched the T20I series 2-0 against Bangladesh women (BAN-W) after a comfortable win in the low-scoring second T20I match. The two sides will lock horns for the third T20I on Thursday, July 13, at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka.
While team India has won both games and will be gunning for a whitewash, Nigar Sultana and Co. will be looking to avoid a third defeat on the trot. It remains to be seen if Bangladesh can conclude the T20I series on a high note.

Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium Pitch Report:
The deck at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka has an inclination for the bowlers. The previous T20I match saw a low-scoring contest, and a similar game is likely to be on the cards on Thursday. Bangladesh will need to amp up their game to really challenge the Women in Blue. Either skipper winning the toss will bowl first.

BAN-W vs IND-W Probable Best Performers
Probable Best Batter:
Shafali Verma:
The swashbuckling right-hander batter compiled paltry scores of 0 and 19 runs in the first two T20Is against Bangladesh. Though she has failed to really play invaluable knocks, Shafali will be eager to push through and score big in the third and final T20I match.
Probable Best Bowler:
Deepti Sharma:
Deepti was quite economical with the ball in the previous clash as she helped her side defend a meagre score of 95 runs. In her four overs, the spinner collected three wickets for just 12 runs at a stellar economy of 3.00. Undoubtedly, she will be raring to keep up the form and play another important innings with the ball.
