Focus shifts from pollution to cricket as India-Bangladesh gear up for 1st T20I

By Saurabh Sharma November 02, 2019 • 18:43 PM View: 1256

New Delhi, Nov 2: If pre-match press conferences were anything to go by, the first T20I of the three-match series between India and Bangladesh will be focused around two things -- the absence of Shakib al Hasan and the weather conditions which will be there when the two teams meet at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday.

The air quality has deteriorated to severe levels in the past one week and has cast doubts over the match. There has been smog all over the stadium, forcing many in the Bangladesh camp to wear masks while conducting their practice sessions.
