Bangladesh will be locking horns with England in the 1st T20I of the 3 match T20I series. England are coming on the back of a 2-1 ODI series victory against the Tigers and would be high on confidence and momentum.
Jos Buttler had an exceptional outing as a captain in the ODI series and would be looking to continue with the same fervour and momentum. Bangladesh are an excellent team at home conditions and the likes of Shakib Al Hasan, Litton Das and Mahmuddullah would be key players to watch out for.
The spin friendly conditions of Bangladesh would prompt the two teams to play more spinners than seamers. Turning tracks and dusty bowls can be expected at the grounds.
Bangladesh will be hosting this 1st T20I in the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong. The match is slated to begin from 2:30 PM (IST). Shakib Al Hasan will be leading the side and the star all-rounder would be hoping to fire on all cylinders against the opponent team.
England leg-spinner Adil Rashid bagged the player of the series award in the ODI series. He took 8 wickets and spun a web in the Bangladeshi conditions.
