Bangladesh are set to face India in the Super 8 stage at the T20 World Cup 2024.

India (IND) and Bangladesh (BAN) will face off in a highly anticipated Super Eight encounter in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. The game will take place on Saturday, June 22, at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua, with the first ball bowled at 8:00 PM IST.

IND vs BAN, Match Prediction

Team India enters this match with momentum, having defeated Afghanistan by 47 runs in their first Super Eight match in Barbados. This victory earned India two points, putting them second in the points standings and keeping them unblemished in this World Cup so far.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, had a remarkable performance in the group round, winning three of four matches and advancing to the Super Eight stage. However, Bangladesh suffered a blow in their first Super Eight encounter, losing to Australia by 28 runs at the same site where they would face India.

As both sides prepare for this vital encounter, India’s solid form and unbeaten streak will face up against Bangladesh’s tenacity and drive to recover from their recent defeat. This match promises to be entertaining as both teams compete for a key victory in their quest for T20 World Cup gold.

Match Details

Pitch Report and Conditions 

The ground at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium has shown to be ideal for bowlers, particularly fast bowlers, leading in low-scoring games throughout the tournament. The circumstances have allowed fast bowlers to shine, as proven by Pat Cummins’ Player of the Match award in the final T20 World Cup 2024 game at this stadium for his excellent performance, which included three wickets. Based on the pitch’s qualities, the average innings score is projected to be around 135 runs.

Probable Best Performers of the match 

Probable Best Batter: Virat Kohli

The Indian icon has not been in top form and would definitely want to put his group-stage performance behind him, having scored only 33 runs in four innings. Virat Kohli, with his lofty objectives and extraordinary mental fortitude to dominate high-profile games, is projected to be India’s hero in their forthcoming Super Eight encounter.

Probable Best Bowler: Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah, a fiery Indian bowler, is in top form at this World Cup, taking eight wickets in four matches at an outstanding average of 6.50. His performance thus far has been great, and we expect him to maintain his wicket-taking streak. With his present confidence and skill, Bumrah is on track to become the T20 World Cup’s leading wicket-taker.
