An upbeat India will hope to solidify its lead in the five-match T20I series against Bangladesh as the two sides meet in the second game of the tour here on Tuesday.

An all-round display helped India seal a 44-run win in the first match. After opting to bat first, India’s top order strung together partnerships to end with 145/7 on the board.

Bangladesh’s batting woes, which was the side’s Achilles Heel against Australia, cost the side again against its neighbour, with only skipper Nigar Sultana Joty managing to put up a fight.

India’s disciplined bowling will give the side much confidence. Renuka Thakur along with Pooja Vastrakar — who was handed new-ball duties in the first fixture — were able to keep Bangladesh’s openers rooted to the crease and allow little room to score freely.

Sajeevan Sajana was handed a debut in the first game while Radha Yadav made a return to the outfit after a year. Given this is a dress rehearsal for the Indian side ahead of the World Cup to be held here later this year, the Women in Blue could experiment with leg spinner Asha Sobhana Joy.

Bangladesh’s fielding left much to be desired with a number of dropped catches denting the side’s confidence. However, the team improved as the match went on. Its bowling, though, posed questions of India’s famed batting order, not allowing the tail to give the innings the final flourish it would have wanted.

That said, the main concern for the host is the batting and the lineup needs to find a way to support skipper Nigar better should they hope to pose a challenge to India.
