Hosts India go into the series as overwhelming favourites, enjoying an unbeaten winning streak against Bangladesh in the shortest format. For the record, India have won all their 8 T20I encounters against the the 'Bangla Tigers'.
Both sides are being hemmed by new skippers with their seasoned captains giving the series a miss due to different reasons. While Rohit Sharma leads India in the absence of Virat Kohli, who has been rested; all-rounder Mahmadullah captaincy skills would be put to the test with Shakib Al Hasan being handed a ICC ban for not reporting match fixing approaches.
India come into the series on the back of drawing (1-1) their last T20I series against Proteas at home , while Bangladesh made it to the finals of the Tri-series which also featured Afghanistan and Bangladesh.
With a bunch of youngsters featuring in the squads on either sides, both the teams would take the series as a platform to build on their strenghts for the upcoming T20 World Cup scheduled in Australia next year.
