With the T20I series between Bangladesh women and India women finally finished, both sides will now be gearing up to face each other in the upcoming ODI series. The visitors clinched the series 2-1 after winning the first two games.

It is worth noting that both Bangladesh and India will face each other in three ODI matches, with the first set to be held on Sunday, July 16, at the Sher-E-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur. After their loss in the T20I series, Nigar Sultana-led Bangladesh will be keen on showcasing an improved performance and will hope to win the 50-over series.

On the other hand, the Indian team looked to be in scintillating form. After their batting collapse in the second game, the side put forth a magnificent performance with the ball to defend the low target that they set. Their continued resilience and grit helped them clinch the T20I series, and they will look to put in similar performances in the forthcoming games as well.

Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and ace batter Smriti Mandhana could be key for India in the ODI series, as both players have been in sensational form in the 50-over format over the last few matches. On the contrary, Bangladesh will be expecting a joint effort from the entire lineup in the upcoming games.

Pitch and Conditions

The surface at the Sher-E-Bangla National Cricket Stadium is generally a spin-favored track. With the average score on the ground being pretty low, another low scoring encounter could be expected between both sides. Winning the toss and opting to bowl first could prove to be a wise decision.
