India will take on Bangladesh in the Super Eight stage of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua, on Saturday, June 22. Being neighbours, these teams are also arch-rivals.

These two teams had already met with each other in a warmup game, in which India beat Bangladesh by a comfortable margin. The Tigers hope the same thing will not happen again in this game.

Bangladesh has many decent bowlers, but India have perhaps the best side in the tournament. Bangladesh will have to do their very best to counter them. It is going to be a big challenge for both.

Predicted Squads

IND: Rohit Sharma (c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj.

BAN: Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das (wk), Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Towhid Hridoy, Shakib Al Hasan, Jaker Ali, Mahmudullah, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Mustafizur Rahman.

Key Players

Jasprit Bumrah (IND): Jasprit Bumrah is perhaps the best bowler in white ball cricket in the world and will be licking his lips in anticipation of having a go at the Bangladeshi batters in this game. There is hardly anyone in the world who can match Bumrah for his expertise today.

Tanzim Hasan Sakib (BAN): Fast bowler. Tanzim Hasan Sakib has been one of Bangladesh’s few bright spots with his impressive bowling. He hopes to be at his best against India in this game and pitch the ball in areas that make him hard to hit.

Match Prediction

India are the overwhelming favourites to win this game, and we expect them to do so comfortably. Bangladesh do not have the resources to challenge the Indians and will have to play out of their skins even to challenge them to a fight.
