IND vs BAN Match Prediction: The three-match series between India and Bangladesh will conclude with the third match in Hyderabad on Saturday. The result of this game will not affect the series outcome, as Suryakumar Yadav and his team have already secured the series with wins in the first two matches. The only concerning point ahead of this game is whether Bangladesh can put up a fight, which they are certainly capable of, but for some reason, the visitors have struggled to perform at the level we expected.
This tour of India has been a major disappointment for Bangladesh. Other than the first session in the opening Test match, most of the games have been largely one-sided affairs. India won the first Test by a staggering 280-run margin and followed it up with a seven-wicket victory in the second.
The T20 matches have unfolded similarly, with India dominating in all departments. This Bangladesh team is too talented to be dominated in the way India has managed in this series. They can and should do better as a team. As India have already secured the series, we might see some changes in hosts’ Playing 11. and that means, a chance for Bangladesh to show some fight. Expect a stronger performance from the visitors in this game.

IND vs BAN Toss Scenario
Considering the nature of the pitch and the difference between average first-innings and second-innings totals, the toss shouldn’t have a major impact on the result.

Who Will Win Today’s Cricket Match Between IND vs BAN
When Bangladesh arrived after their outstanding 2-0 series win over Pakistan, many believed they would push India to the limit as well. Such was the visitors’ confidence before arriving in India. The first session of the opening Test reinforced that notion, signaling it could be a tough series. However, since that first session, it has been a one-sided show. India outclassed Bangladesh in both Test matches and the first two T20I as well. The gulf between the two teams is too big, based on current form, and we believe this third T20I will be no different. We back Team India to win the game.
Chances Of A Win
India: 85%
Bangladesh: 15%
