The 9th edition of the T20 World Cup approaches its climax as India takes on Bangladesh in the 7th Super Eight match.
Team Overview
India
Consistently ranked amongst the favourites for ICC tournaments despite their last trophy coming way back in 2013, the men in blue have looked in great touch so far, remaining unbeaten in each of their 3 completed games.
The bowlers have translated their form from the longer formats to the 20-over arena, with Jasprit Bumrah leading the way. No opponent has managed to score more than 120 against them so far.
However, batting hasn’t looked as dominating, with the form of star batsman Kohli being the main area of concern.
Bangladesh
They looked down and out prior to the tournament, given a humiliating series loss against the USA, but Shanto’s men have bounced back in splendid fashion. Finishing with the best NRR in a group that was dubbed the “group of death,” the Tigers have had a resurgence in the format. Alike their opponents, the Pacers have led the way, with Tanzid Shakib being the unpredicted star of the batch.
Mustafizur, as always, has been economical, and some important cameos from Hridoy and Mahmudullah have given a chance to the nation to resume their rise in the sport.
Probable Playing XI
India: R Sharma, V Kohli, R Pant, Suryakumar Yadav, S Dube, H Pandya, R Jadeja, A Patel, K Yadav, J Bumrah, A Singh
Bangladesh: T Hasan, L Das, N Shanto, T Hridoy, S Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, J Ali, R Hossain, S Islam, T Sakib, M Rahman
Ground Conditions
The Viv Richards stadium in Antigua has overall been on the higher-scoring spectrum relative to the rest of the stadiums in the tournament so far, with only ST Lucia exceeding it in the runs scored per over metric.
Both teams should look to maximise the powerplay; however, spinners can prove to be tough to crack in the middle overs.
Players To Watch Out For
Jasprit Bumrah: The hottest commodity of the sport at the current moment, Bumrah has been in tremendous form ever since his return from injury.
In his 5 T20Is ever since then, he has bowled with an average below 10 and conceded only one six during the period. At this stage, the opposition would gladly see his quota being bowled out at a run-per-ball rate.
Rishad Hossain: A new entrant in the Bangladeshi set-up, Rishad has already become one of the best wrist spinners the country has ever produced within just one year of his international debut! 22 T20I wickets picked up @21.6, he looks to provide massive revs to his deliveries whereas his height puts opposition in the risk of facing awkward bounce.
If the Bangladeshi pace factory doesn’t pick up quick wickets, the team’s expectations will solely reside on the shoulders of the 21-year-old.
