🏏ICC Men's T20IWC 2022 - Ind vs Ban, M-35th, Super 12 Group 2🏏

India are better placed. But then Bangladesh have two wins out of three and so do India. India are better placed because it is expected that they should/would win against Bangladesh who feel they haven't come here to in the Cup.

But as mentioned above this newly brewed rivalry might spike things up today. Taskin Ahmed has troubled India before and his fine form wouldn't have gone unnoticed in the Indian camp. His resurgence at the top level can add another tale today.

The Fizz is always a threat and Shakib's prowess as a T20 mercernary can come to the fore anytime. If India were expecting a cake walk, the path ahead can be way too slippery.

They met again during the 2016 T20 WC, Bangladesh looked all set to disturb India's Apple Cart and knock them out. Ignominy breathed upon Dhoni's men from a proximal distance.

But Mushfiqur Rahim celebrated early, Mahmudullah chased the glory shot and MS Dhoni donned the shoes of Usain Bolt. India eked out a miraculous win. Bangladesh fans were dealt with a crushing blow. Their wounds were scathed open with multiple scalpels. The rivalry hasn't had much spice post that. Cut to 2022!

Post that India toured Bangladesh in 2015 and the hosts defeated India as the world noticed Mustafizur Rahman whose wizardry had India on its knees.

Bangladesh fans felt Karma was applying some soothing balm over their deep seated wounds. India and Bangladesh came face to face in the finale of the Asia Cup in 2016.

The Dhoni-Taskin image did so many rounds on social media. And it was MS himself who finished it off in his own nonchalant way.😃

I'm told it's gotten chilly in Adelaide. The Indian players are out on the field, armed with hand warmers, hoodies and caps. Conditions seem to have become blustery as well. We're minutes away from the toss.

Thanks for the tag Madhu!🤗

Wishing all the very best to team India.

Cheers..

All the best team India! Chak de phattey!

Aditya: "The problem with Bangladesh is the leadership - I mean how exactly do you expect players to perform if the captain says we aren't even here to win the world cup?"

Bangla Vikki: "Shakib played down Bangladesh's chances, but if Taskin Ahmed makes new ball talk, an upset can't be ruled out. Taskin in form of his life."

The Rohit Sharma-led Indian team will look to return to winning ways when they take on Asian rivals Bangladesh in their fourth match of the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup on Wednesday (November 2) at the Adelaide Oval. India are coming into this game on the back of a five-wicket defeat against South Africa.

Probable XI: Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Deepak Hooda, Rishabh Pant/Dinesh Karthik (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh

Bangladesh

Probable XI: Najmul Hossain Shanto, Soumya Sarkar, Litton Das, Shakib al Hasan (c), Afif Hossain, Mosaddek Hossain, Nurul Hasan (wk), Yasir Ali, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud, Taskin AhmedLa_re

Tails says Shakib, tails it is Bangladesh. They'll bowl first.

"Don't know what the best score is on this pitch," says Shakib. "Know what's coming at us, we're well prepared. Boys gelling well together, everyone looking forward to this. Need to continue doing good things. Batting is one area we can improve. Our fast bowling terrific."

One change for Bangladesh: Soumya Sarkar is out, Shoriful Islam comes in.

Rohit says he would've loved to bat. So both sides get what they wanted.

India too make one change. Axar in, Hooda out.
