Bangladesh, on the other hand, will face off against Pakistan in their final Group 2 fixture. Let’s have a look at the match preview, h2h record, venue stats, and predicted playing XI of Bangladesh vs India T20 World Cup 2022. BAN vs IND Twenty20 World Cup 2022: Match Preview The Bangladesh campaign has seen ups and downs in the ongoing T20 World Cup event. They have registered two appreciable wins over the Netherlands and Zimbabwe thanks to very good work by the pace bowlers.

India, on the other hand, started off their campaign with two consecutive victories against Pakistan and Zimbabwe, respectively. But they fell to South Africa by 5 wickets in a closely-contested affair in Perth and moved down to the second spot. The Indian batters struggled to cope with the Proteas pace attacks on Perth’s bouncy wicket. They will hope to make a strong comeback against the Tigers. Indian bowlers, on the other hand, have performed brilliantly in this competition so far. Batting against them will be a real challenge for the Bangladesh batters. Overall, the odds are favouring India to seal the contest, but Bangladesh have the capability to upset any opposition in the world on any given day. India vs Bangladesh head-to-head T20I Record India and Bangladesh have played against each other in 11 T20Is. The Indian side has dominated the head-to-head contest with 10 wins, where Bangladesh have only one win. The last time both sides met against each other was in November 2019.

So, they have more match winners than their opposition. Bangladesh, on the other hand, have struggled to perform in T20 cricket in recent series, indicating their lack of quality players in the format. Therefore, the Bangladeshi players need to raise their performance level to put in a good performance against India. Here are the stats of the top three players of each side in the T20 World Cup 2022. India Virat Kohli: Inn: 3 | Runs: 156 | Ave: 156.00 | SR: 144.44 | 50s: 2Suryakumar Yadav: Inn: 3 | Runs: 134 | Ave: 67.00 | SR: 178.66 | 50s: 2Bhuvneshwar Kumar: Inn: 3 | Wkts: 3 | Ave: 17.33 | Econ: 4.87 | BBI: 2/9 Bangladesh Najmul Hossain Shanto: Inn: 3 | Runs: 105 | Ave: 35.00 | SR: 125.00 | 50s: 1Taskin Ahmed: Inn: 3 | Wkts: 8 | Ave: 11.25 | Econ: 8.18 | BBI: 4/25Mustafizur Rahman: Inn: 3 | Wkts: 2 | Ave: 30.00 | Econ: 5.00 | BBI: 2/15 Read More: T20 World Cup 2022: Current scenario of Super 12s points table Verdict The winner of the fixture will move to the top of the Group 2 point standings and remain in a strong position in their quest for a semifinal berth in the eighth edition of the tournament. The Bangladesh vs India T20 World Cup 2022 match venue is Adelaide’s oval, which is known as a high-scoring ground, promising players to enjoy batting here. The h2h record and current form favour India to win the Super 12 Round fixture against Bangladesh on Wednesday.

For many fans, it was heart-stopping to see Mosaddek Hossain come in to bowl the last over against Zimbabwe when Bangladesh had only 16 to defend. But luckily, Mosaddek did that, and Bangladesh recorded their second win in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. Now, a question is surfacing — will Bangladesh strengthen their bowling attack by incorporating another specialist bowler into the playing XI ahead of an important clash against India? While addressing the media on Tuesday in Adelaide, Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan did not disclose anything about the combination he is planning against India. He said that it’s important for Bangladesh to make the most of the resources they already have. Read More: If we can beat India and Pakistan, it’ll be considered ‘an upset’: Shakib “We are yet to conduct a team meeting regarding the combination,” Shakib said. “It would be wrong if you think Mosaddek is not a regular bowler. He has a five-for in T20Is, and he bowls regularly in the domestic T20s. " In the three matches of the ongoing World Cup, Bangladesh played four specialist bowlers. So Shakib had no choice other than to give the ball to a part-timer in the death overs. Read More: T20 World Cup: How Group 2 is shaping up ahead of Wednesday’s crunch game “I don’t think we lack a bowler,” the Bangladesh captain added. “If we lacked a bowler, we couldn't have completed 20 overs. We can think of a few different combinations. But we are yet to give it a thought. " Shakib also didn't disclose if they wanted to take the field with a four-pacer attack against India under possibly overcast conditions. Along with Taskin Ahmed, Msutafizur Rahman, and Hasan Mahmud, Bangladesh also have Ebadot Hossain and Shoriful Islam in the squad. Read More: T20 World Cup 2022: Bangladesh beat Zimbabwe despite drama in last over As the left-arm spinners have a great record against Indian batters, Bangladesh may find a place for Nasum Ahmed, who has played 27 T20Is so far and bagged 31 wickets with the best figures of taking four for 10 runs. Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Lokesh Rahul, and Hardik Pandya have better career strike rates than their strike rates against the left-arm spinners. This stat could encourage the Bangladesh team to add another bowler to the playing XI for their T20 World Cup 2022 Super 12 Round match against India in order to bolster their bowling attack.

Following Sunday’s matches at the ongoing T20 World Cup, the equations staring at each team in Group 2 – containing three of the 4 Asian teams in the competition, including Bangladesh – have become much clearer. The dynamic of this group's point standings could take on a new twist when Bangladesh take on India on Wednesday (November 2) in a crucial Super 12 game. All six teams were in action and all three matches produced results, giving a much more definite shape to the group than is the case with Group 1, which has been ravaged by rain. Pakistan, the last edition’s semifinalists, were the day’s big winners as they steamrolled the Netherlands, yet they remain rooted to fifth in the Group 2 standings as of Monday morning. The two close defeats they suffered to start the tournament left them with all to do in the three remaining games, and even if they were to win all three, it would still take some handouts from the other teams for Pakistan to at least match their 2021 performance. Sunday’s victory against the Dutch was merely the first of those three results that they must ensure, to have any hope. Read more: “I can do this!”: Mosaddek to Shakib before last ball against Zimbabwe The Netherlands are the first team to get knocked out of the tournament after three consecutive losses in the Super 12s. But, mathematically, 5 teams are still in with a chance to qualify. The key to qualification that has emerged following three rounds of fixtures in the group is that 7 points gives you a very good shot at qualification. 8 points more or less guarantees it, while 9 is the maximum anyone (only South Africa) can get from here on. Get to 7 and you can at least qualify in second place. Six points may leave you in with a chance, but it’s likely to be very, very dicey, and most likely in a net run rate situation. Anything less will simply not do. South Africa's 5-wicket win over India in Perth in Sunday’s late fixture puts them in prime position to qualify, with 5 points from their three games. Despite being robbed of the opportunity for 2 points against Zimbabwe, the Proteas have not allowed that to haunt their campaign. To go with the points, they have also ensured an extremely healthy net run rate till now.   With 7 points pretty much guaranteeing qualification, they now need to win just one of their remaining two fixtures to book their place in the semis. One of those fixtures is against the hapless Dutch. If they get to 7 points, they will qualify in at least second place, since the remaining fixtures mean only one of Bangladesh or India can get to 8 points – not both.

Instead, with 4 points from three games, India will need to win both their remaining games to make sure of qualification. One win may still be enough, but then they will need other results to go their way. Their remaining fixtures are against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe. Pretty much the same equation applies to Bangladesh, who are currently third in Group 2, tied with India on points but behind by a long way on net run rate. Following Sunday’s thrilling last-over victory against Zimbabwe, the Tigers enter the last two games at least with their destiny in their own hands: beat India and Pakistan, and nothing or no one can stop them from playing the semifinals in Australia. Win just one, and you’ll be praying during the other fixtures for things to go your way. If they were to win just one, though, is there one that might be preferred over the other? It’s impossible to say really, since both India and Pakistan are in the running with Bangladesh, but it might be more important to stop India first. In fact, that is the next game up for both teams, on Wednesday in Adelaide. And guess what? The weather forecast at the moment shows a 70 percent chance of showers on gameday. It’s a reminder that all our calculations can come a cropper if the weather gods decide to intervene. And they just don’t seem to look away from this tournament. Read more: T20 WC: Pakistan thumps Netherlands by six wickets Finally, we come to Zimbabwe, currently 4th in the group with 3 points. Needless to say, they need to win both their remaining matches to give themselves a chance. Unlike South Africa, though, their neighbours can’t be sure of qualification even with 7 points. Were they to get there, India would most likely be out, but Bangladesh and South Africa could still finish ahead of them. But if they are able to pull off the two wins, you get the feeling other things will fall into place too, to take them through. All things considered, including form and remaining fixtures, we believe the group will end exactly as it is now, with South Africa and India qualifying as the top two. However, the T20 World Cup 2022 appears to be the most unpredictable one so far. The ongoing event has regularly seen upsets by the associated nations, and games have been postponed due to incelement weather. The outcome of Bangladesh's match against India on November 2 could change the direction of the Group 2 point standings yet again. Therefore, no team should take their remaining Super 12s fixtures lightly.
