India will lock horns against Bangladesh in their fourth match of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 at the Adelaide Oval on Wednesday. The Men in Blue had lost their previous match against South Africa and they will be looking to bounce back against the Tigers.
We take a look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.
Current form for India: L W W L W
India has been in fine form in the recent past and they would have been disappointed after their loss against South Africa. The team’s opening pair form is a concern as KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma have failed to hit the straps. Thus, the team will be looking to come up with a collective effort.
Current form for Bangladesh: W L W L L
Bangladesh could only post 150 runs against Zimbabwe in the previous match and they would want to come up with a better batting show. Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman were right on the money for the team and they are going to hold the key against India.
Head to Head: Matches: 11, Won by India: 10, Won by Bangladesh: 1.
India clearly holds a big advantage in the head-to-head battle.
Players to look out for: Players to watch out for: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, and Arshdeep Singh will hold the key for India.
