This will be the first T20I at the venue. Not a single IPL match has been played here as well. Hence, there is no data available.

As mentioned before, a new pitch and a new outfield will be on offer. It will be interesting to see how the pitch behaves at the newly rebuilt stadium in Gwalior.

The pitch report for the first T20I between India and Bangladesh will be broadcast live before the toss takes place.

In a pre-match interview, Towhid Hridoy shared his experience from the practice surfaces and said:

"T20 is a game of runs, every team want to score runs. Looking at the practice wicket, I feel it is a slow pitch. In such wickets having a high-scoring game is very less. No IPL match has also happened here."

As per Towhid, a low-scoring game could be on the cards between India and Bangladesh tonight. The captain winning the toss may prefer to field first to assess the new ground and the conditions.

Tickets for the first T20I between India and Bangladesh have been sold out in Gwalior. A full house is expected for the series opener tonight.
