India Women's team in Sylhet for T20Is against Bangladesh

DHAKA, April 24, 2024 (BSS)-The Indian Women's team reached Sylhet for a five-match T20 International series against Bangladesh yesterday.

They will have a two-day practice session for two days before facing off Bangladesh on April 28. All of the five matches will be held at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. The rest of the four matches are slated for April 30, May 2, 6 and 9.

India had last visited Bangladesh in July last year which turned out to be an eventful tour. In the keenly contested series, India though won the T20 series by 2-1, Bangladesh forced them to tie the three-match ODI series 1-1.

During the last ODI, India captain Harmanpreet Kaur smashed the stump by his bat after being given out and then lashed out at the umpires vehemently for poor umpiring. 

"A lot of learning from this game," Harmanpreet said at the presentation ceremony at that time. "Even apart from the cricket, the type of umpiring that was happening there, we were very surprised. The next time whenever we are coming to Bangladesh, we'll have to make sure we have to deal with this kind of umpiring and accordingly, we'll have to prepare ourselves," he added.
 
The umpire Tanvir Ahmed who was blamed by India captain was not included in the umpiring panel in this series.
