Bangladesh Women's team captain Nigar Sultana Joty believes they are the favorites and will be ahead of India in the upcoming ODI series.
"I definitely think Bangladesh are the favourites. We won the last match (T20I). The format may have changed, but I will put ourselves ahead," said Joty in the press conference.
Bangladesh lost all the previous battles against India, but the captain was confident of playing positive cricket against the visitors.
“We played them once in the World Cup. Before that, we played ODIs against them a long time ago ( around 2012-13). We play well in this format and are confident as a team. We get more time here and can play our game according to the plan,"

"We have a long batting lineup and our batter like to take time and get settled before going big. We will have the mindset to play positive cricket," she added.
India captain Harmanpreet Kaur said they will bat with responsibility and as deep as possible.
"One thing is clear the wicket is quite slow, and we are not expecting too many runs. Being there is more important, getting those crucial runs for your team is more important rather than thinking too many thoughts and a big total on the board," Harmanpreet said in the pre-match press conference.
"Especially on this track, batting plays a very big role. As a batting unit, we will take responsibility and bat as deep as possible. Setting a decent is going to help us win the game. We will fight back and really solid outing tomorrow in the game," she added
