India captain Harmanpreet Kaur is hoping that they may get higher pitches to bat on within the three-match ODI collection in opposition to Bangladesh starting right here on Sunday.
India managed to win the T20 collection 2-1, however its batters had a troublesome time on the gradual floor on the Shere Bangla National Stadium. The guests struggled to 95 and 102 within the second and third video games, whereas Bangladesh had posted 114 within the collection opener.
Harmanpreet stated ODIs are a unique ball recreation to T20s, and her batters would wish to point out persistence to place up aggressive totals in difficult circumstances. “Wherever we go we want to play on good tracks, fair tracks but how much I know we will play on the same way tomorrow. Hopefully, we will get a better wicket for the last two games.
“In Asian conditions, tracks can be slow. As a batting unit we have to work hard for the runs and we are ready for that,” stated Harmanpreet on the eve of the primary ODI.
Bangladesh may have gained the collection had they not self-destructed of their chase of 95 within the second T20. They will likely be in good spirits after the win on Thursday and the India skipper is anticipating a troublesome battle from the house group.
Barring Harmanpreet, India doesn’t have any six-hitter within the squad and that damage them in T20s. The likes of Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues will get extra time to assemble their innings within the 50-over format.
Opener Shafali Verma’s type has been underneath the scanner for some time now and she or he would look to silence her critics.
Of late, India has discovered a option to submit 270-plus totals repeatedly, however within the prevailing circumstances, Harmanpreet feels that will be a far cry.
“Wicket is quite slow and we are not expecting too many runs. Rather than thinking about those big totals, getting (enough) runs for the teams is most important,” she stated.
Bangladesh has recalled Shamin Akhter for the collection. Shorna Akter, Marufa Akter and Salma Khatun have additionally been included.
