“No IPL match has also happened here” – Towhid Hridoy expects low-scoring affair in India vs Bangladesh series opener

Bangladesh rising star Towhid Hridoy is expecting a slow surface in the opening T20I match against India at the New Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium, Gwalior on Sunday. The venue will host its first-ever International match and it will be interesting to note what the new pitch will have in store for the players and the fans.

Meanwhile, Hridoy has impressed in his young career and he would look to deliver the goods for the Tigers.

Hridoy said on PTI as quoted by TOI, “T20 is a game of runs, every team want to score runs. Looking at the practice wicket, I feel it is a slow pitch. In such wickets having a high-scoring game is very less. No IPL match has also happened here.”

The 23-year-old youngster backed the visitors to challenge the potent Indian team despite the absence of their star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan.

“Pressure is always there, but if we think about that then we will not be able to perform well, our focus is always on process and how to perform. Shakib bhai is not there, we will miss him but everyone has to go one day, we are hopeful we will be able to beat them.”

Hridoy has scored 607 runs in 30 T20I matches at an average of 27.59 and a strike rate of 130.82. The right-hander scored 153 runs in seven matches of the T20 World Cup at an average of 21.86. The youngster had impressed with his ability to score quick runs down the order.

Bangladesh squad: Najmul Hossain Shanto (Captain), Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Parvez Hossain Emon, Tawhid Hridoy, Mahmud Ullah, Litton Kumer Das, Jaker Ali Anik, Mehidy Hassan Miraz, Shak Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Rakibul Hasan.
