"Just a little over 15 minutes to the first ball. It's a good time to welcome Karthik Krishnaswamy into the hot seat.

T20I Head to Head: India 10 - 1 Bangladesh. India have also won in each of the three T20 World Cup encounters, the last a dramatic one-run win in Bengaluru in 2016

The weather in Adelaide has turned around rather dramatically. After a bright and sunny start to the weekend, it's gotten dark, chilly and the streets are sodden. Short showers are predicted to hit around 7 PM local time but the game is unlikely to be washed out. This will be Adelaide's first game at this World Cup and the venue will present a slightly different challenge with its long straight boundaries and spinners coming into the play with more freedom to pitch the ball up. The average first innings score here in the BBL since the 2019-20 season is 164 with teams batting first winning 16 compared to 9 wins for chasing teams.

With the qualification in sight, India must renew focus against a Bangladesh side they would seem too strong for, at least on paper. Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid will seek the most precise of performances and will have to ensure there are no straggly bits in selection, strategy or execution as another mis-step could derail their aspirations. They'll know that in World Cups, just like in life, you can't win every battle, but you can try and win the important ones. And Wednesday's game qualifies as one.

Teams:

Bangladesh (Playing XI): Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das, Shakib Al Hasan(c), Afif Hossain, Yasir Ali, Mosaddek Hossain, Nurul Hasan(w), Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam

India (Playing XI): KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma(c), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik(w), Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh

Rohit Sharma: We would have batted first. Runs on the board would matter. We would look to bat well. All games are important in this format. We didn't play well in the last game. Hopefully, we can play some good cricket and get those two points. Good ground and good atmosphere here. Good weather as well. We have one change. Axar is in for Hooda.

Bangladesh have won the toss and have opted to field

Shakib Al Hasan: We will bowl first. There is rain predicted. We don't know what is a good score on this wicket. Big game. We are well prepared today. Boys are gelling well. We have been playing with this side for some time. We need to continue doing the good things. We can continue working on our batting. One change. Sarkar is not playing. Shoriful Islam comes in.

Bangladesh is always like a bone in the throat for India in ICC tournaments and Shakib tactically has put pressure by saying India is one of the contenders for winning the World Cup as if Bangladesh has nothing to loose.

Prakhar: Any update on weather conditions. 'A bit cloudy and there is a chance of a shower or two'

Blustery conditions right now. There are some dark clouds in the distance , there's a small chance of showers later in the evening! Dinesh Karthik doing some running and warm-up routines under the supervision of the Strength and Conditioning coach."
