New Delhi: India will take on their Asian neighbours Bangladesh in the second Super 8 match for both sides. Team India will enter the match on the back of a powerpack performance against Afghanistan where the men in blue managed to win by a considerable margin.
On the other hand, Bangladesh were blasted away by Australia as Pat Cummins completed a memorable hat-trick. Bangladesh who crawled their way to the Super 8 will be taking on another heavyweight contender of International cricket.

Bangladesh Probable XI
For Bangladesh, all the credit goes to their experienced middle-order and the bowling unit which has elevated the team to the Super 8s. A lot will be riding on the shoulders of Tanzim Hasan Shakib who has been in scintillating form in this tournament. However, the biggest fish in the water will be Shakib al Hasan and the tons of experience that he brings to the side.
Probable XI: Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Najmul Hossain, Litton Kumar Das, Shakib al Hasan, Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Jaker Ali, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman and Tanzim Shakib.

Head-to-head matchups and pitch report
India holds a clear edge over their Asian neighbours with 12-1 in their favour. Furthermore, India has never lost in any T20 World Cup Game against Bangladesh which will give a lot of confidence and self-belief to Rohit and Co.
Pitch Report:
Australia had blasted away Bangladesh on the same pitch when the latter had scored 140 on board. Naturally, it can be said that the pitch will be ideal for batting. There will be some spin on offer which is natural in the Caribbean. The key will be to win the toss and field first.
Where to watch the India vs Bangladesh?
Indian fans can watch their cricket heartthrob Virat Kohli on the Disney+Hotstar App from 8 pm (IST). On the other hand, people can also watch the match live on their television set on the Star Sports Network.
