The deck at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka has an inclination for the bowlers. Spinners are likely to play a key role in the contest. In addition to this, a low-scoring contest could be on the cards considering the recent trend at the venue. Either skipper winning the toss is likely to field first.

India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur seemed in fine touch in the previous T20I match against Bangladesh as she got a delicate 40 runs off 41 balls. Having played 124 ODIs, Harmanpreet has collected 3322 runs, lacing it with 17 fifties and five centuries at an average of 38.18. The skipper will be gunning to score big in the first One-Day against the rival side.
The 25-year-old spinner has claimed 91 scalps in 80 appearances in ODIs and in addition to this, she has been fairly economical for her side in the last couple of matches. Deepti will aim to continue her fine form and look for the wickets to keep her side a step ahead in the contest.
