India To Face Bangladesh In T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8: Match Insights

IND vs BAN T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8: Rohit Sharma's India will face Bangladesh in their second Super 8 match of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound in Antigua on Saturday, June 22. The match is scheduled to start at 8:00 PM IST and 8:30 PM in Bangladesh.

India secured a victory against Afghanistan by 47 runs in their first Super 8 match in Barbados on Thursday. Conversely, Bangladesh suffered a defeat to Australia in Antigua by 28 runs (DLS method) in their opening match of the second round of the T20 World Cup 2024.

If India triumphs over Bangladesh, they will be the first team from Super Group 1 to qualify for the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2024. A loss for Bangladesh would result in their elimination from the tournament.

"We are going to bowl first. Looks a decent wicket, don't think it'll change too much. We have played one game here. The wickets have played pretty well, hopefully we have a great game," Australia captain Mitchell Marsh said after winning the toss against Bangladesh on Friday.

Bangladesh was restricted to 140/8 as Pat Cummins achieved a hat-trick. Australian pacers claimed five wickets, while spinners took two wickets. Australia was at 100/2 in 11.2 overs when rain interrupted play. Spinner Rishad Hossain took both Australian wickets. Australia won by 29 runs (DLS method).

In a recent match at the venue, South Africa scored 194/4, and USA managed 176/6 against a strong South African bowling unit. The pitch in Antigua appears favourable for batters.

The average innings score in the last five T20Is here is 121, influenced by teams like Oman and Namibia being dismissed cheaply. A rain-affected match between England and Namibia was reduced to a 10-over game, with England scoring 122/5 and Namibia managing 84/3.

Teams winning the toss have chosen to bat first 53 percent of the time over the last five years. Teams batting first have won half of the matches during this period.

AccuWeather forecasts rain showers in Antigua from 2 AM to 3 PM, with clear skies expected afterward. The sun will be out around 6 AM, but thunderstorms are predicted around 11 AM. The match starts at 10:30 AM local time.
