In previous ODI series between harmanpreet kaur and Niger sultana , Harmanpreet kaur suspended for two matches due to her altercation with the umpire for poor umpiring in the last match between India and Bangladesh

Match helding in the ground of Sylhet in Bangladesh, Reports of the pitch are Bowling and good for spin bowling,average score of the ground is around 92 runs . In past 5 matches Bangladesh won only one match and India won 4 matches
Nigar said that they are not losing their sleep over excessive heat while added that if they can put a score around 150 runs they have the bowling attack to defend it.
“We don’t have any control over weather and the thing is that we have to play. We will play from 4:00 pm and at that time the temperature will go down slightly. Probably we can play with bit more comfort,” she said.
“If we can score 140-150 runs in that case it will be difficult to chase but to be honest no run is safe in T20. In the WPL big runs are being chased but still with the bowling attack we have it will be easy to defend if we can score around 140-150 runs,” she said.
“Well those things (controversy in last series) are gone now and its new venue and new series and we are prepared for that and want to play good cricket,” said Harmanpreet. “Obviously it is nice to be back in Bangladesh because this year we are playing T20 World Cup here and I think it is great opportunity for us to play here and get used to these conditions. We always thrive to do well whenever we play in Bangladesh,” she said.
“Usually grounds are bit heavy and wickets are bit low and slow and that was only the reason we want to play before the World Cup and we can adjust ourselves according to the situations,” she said.
All five matches of the series will be held at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium and the matches will start at 4:00pm (BST). The remaining four matches will be held on 30 April, 2 May, 6 May and 9 May respectively.
