Habiba Islam, Murshida Khatun, and Marufa Akter dropped out,
leaving Bangladesh with only one fast bowler.
Toss India chose to bat against Bangladesh.
Harmanpreet Kaur, India's captain, won the toss and elected to bat in the fifth
T20I against Bangladesh on a bright afternoon in Sylhet. India leads the series
4-0 and will look for a clean sweep. Harmanpreet explained that the team
intended to "test ourselves with the bat" after chasing in two of the
previous three games.
Bangladesh made three changes to the team that played the rain-hit fourth game
on Monday, replacing Habiba Islam, Murshida Khatun, and Marufa Akter. This
meant the hosts would only have one quick bowler in Trisna.
Meanwhile, India continued to play with the same XI as in
the previous game, with S Asha and Titas Sadhu replacing Shreyanka Patil and
Renuka Singh in their respective second games.
After rain limited the fourth match to 14 overs each side, a full game is
expected today. Shefali Verma, 20, is playing her 100th international game.
