India got the expected winning start in the Super 8 and would like to put one foot in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 semis by beating Bangladesh, who must win this game to advance to the semis. Table: Schedule of BAN vs IND Match in the Current T20 World Cup’s Super 8 Stage  Match Details Match Date (BST) Teams Time (BST) Venue 47 22/6/2024 Bangladesh vs India 8:30 PM Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua . Preview of BAN vs IND Match in ICC World Cup Super 8 India are one of the only two teams in this World Cup who did not lose a game. Apart from the rain that hit the last match of the group stage against Canada, they won every single game of theirs. So far, India’s T20 World Cup 2024 journey has been a strange one. They do not have any batter who features in the top 15 run-scorers of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, which is not usual. Playing all the group games on the tricky surfaces of New York and Florida had an impact on their batting.  However, they regained form in the much more batting-friendly pitches of West Indies when they scored 180+ against Afghanistan. Moreover, their bowling attack was spot on and restricted every opponent to a severely low total. Thus, they didn’t lose a game even after not scoring much. Especially, their strike bowlers are in tremendous form picking up 18 wickets combined already. Read more: ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024: Groups, Match Fixtures, and Venues Bangladesh also found the same relief from their bowling unit which has been rather brilliant so far. Both Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Rishad Hossain have picked 9 wickets each. Apart from that, Mustafizur Rahman has also picked up 7 wickets. Nonetheless, their batting is out of form at this moment. It seems like they just cannot find a way to click at this point.  Bangladesh ended up scoring only 140 on a pitch which was brilliant to bat on. Therefore, it is increasingly seeming hard to see Bangladesh do much in the Super 8 with such miserable batting form. It is not the case for India who can rely on their batting now after scoring 181 against a solid Afghanistan bowling attack. Additionally, all of their batters scored at an excellent strike rate except for skipper Rohit Sharma. As a result, India will feel confident about facing Bangladeshi bowling attack ahead of the game. One thing that might be a matter of slight concern for them is their opening pair which consists of two of the greatest hitters of the generation but yet not clicking. Their highest opening stand is 22 which is quite underwhelming. India would be confident about their openers getting runs but it will be in their minds as well.

Probable Lineups Most Probable XI of India Team Rohit Sharma ©, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav Most Probable XI of Bangladesh Team Tanzid Hasan, Litton Kumer Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto ©, Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Shoriful Islam, Tanzim Sakib, Mustafizur Rahman Key Players to Watch in India Team Virat Kohli Virat Kohli had an unexpectedly poor campaign by his extremely high standards. But he gave symbols of coming back to runs with his 24 against Afghanistan. It can be felt that he will have a big score soon and no opponent would be more suitable than Bangladesh against whom he averages 96.5 in the T20Is Suryakumar Yadav With his half-century in the last game, Suryakumar Yadav is surely gaining ground in this ICC Men’s T20 World Cup and might be the most impactful batter against Bangladesh. Jasprit Bumrah The ace bowler of India is going to be crucial against Bangladesh, against a struggling top order who find it difficult to deal with raw pace, Jasprit Bumrah will be key to picking early wickets and rattling the top-order of Bangladesh's batting line-up. Read more: Analysis of India Squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World 2024 Key Players to Watch in  Bangladesh Tanzim Hasan Sakib Bangladesh has been largely reliant on their bowlers to get a result in this World Cup. This game is not going to be any different it seems. Therefore, the highest wicket-taker for Bangladesh this time would be the most important player for them in this game as well. Mustafizur Rahman Mustafizur Rahman and India go a long way back. He is simply in a different mode while facing India. Bangladesh team need him to step up once again and dominate the Indian batters like he used to do in his early and best days.   Litton Kumer Das This might seem a bit controversial given the current situation. But like Mustafizur Rahman, Litton Kumer Das also loves performing against India. Everyone will remember the exceptional innings of 60 runs from him in the 2022 T20 World Cup. In a situation, where big runs are necessary to win and the top order is heavily underperforming, Bangladesh fans will hope for Litton Das to bring that Adelaide innings from the 2022 T20 World Cup at Antigua this time. Verdict India are the favorites in every match in this ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. They would not want to break their winning streak. The BAN vs IND T20 match in the Super 8 stage might not be different either. However, Bangladesh have a slender hope given their batters' performance.

Bangladesh and India women’s teams will face each other for the 3rd T20I of the 5-match series in Sylhet. Indian women’s team, who are currently leading the series by 2-0, will look to wrap up the series after comfortably winning the first two games. On the other hand, Bangladesh Women have one last chance to stay in the series. The match will start at 4:00 PM BST. Details of BAN vs IND Women 3rd T20I Table: Schedule and Venue of 3rd T20I between Bangladesh and India Women’s Team Match Date Time Venue 3rd T20I Thursday, May 2, 2024 4:00 P.M BST Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, Sylhet  Preview of Bangladesh vs India Women’s 3rd T20I India are in a comfortable position after winning the first two games in the ongoing series. Bangladesh are struggling with their batting mostly. They could only manage 101 and 119 in the two matches after completing their full quota of batting. This is a worrying sign for them as they are not giving the bowlers much to play with.  Additionally, only three Bangladesh batters reached double figures in the first T20I. The second match saw only four Bangladeshi batters reaching double figures. The highest scorer of the first game from Bangladesh was Nigar Sultana who took 48 deliveries to make 51 runs. Murshida Khatun was the highest scorer for Bangladesh in the second game scoring 46 (49).  Read more: India Women secure lead with rain-affected win over Bangladesh Ahead of the 3rd T20I, Bangladesh Women would desperately want their batters to contribute a lot more. The bowlers didn’t have much to do in these two games but they could and should have done a lot better. The pitch of the first game was not a 145-run pitch according to experts. In the second game, they failed to take advantage of a rain-inflicted condition which was a disappointing scenario to watch.  Marufa Akter is among the wickets which is a boost for Bangladesh. However, Nahida Akter, the main strike bowler for Bangladesh, has been wicketless and expensive as well. She needs to step up in this game for Bangladesh to have any chance of winning. India, on the other hand, have been dominating Bangladesh in the ongoing series. Their performance is reflected in the results as well. Their bowling department is working as a unit to restrict Bangladesh to a low score. Their spin trio of Deepti Sharma, Radha Yadav, and Shreyanka Patil have been economical and picked up crucial wickets. The woman of the match from the first game Renuka Singh was quite expensive in the 2nd game and will try to bring her rhythm back in this game. Pooja Vastrakar has also been handy.  The batters did exactly what was expected of them. Shafali Verma, Yastika Bhatia, Harmanpreet Kaur, and Richa Ghosh played quick innings in the first game to give India a winning total of 145. Dayalan Hemalatha’s 41(24) almost single-handedly won the second match for them with the bat. They would now hope for Smriti Mandhana to shine as she has not performed well in this series yet. India mostly relied on overall team performance so far in this series. They would expect the same in the remaining games as well.

In a series where Bangladeshi batters are struggling so much, Nigar Sultana’s captain’s knock is exactly what’s needed for the team. She has also stepped up on such occasions and is expected to do it again. Nahida Akter Nahida Akter is still wicketless in this series. But Bangladesh needs their most in-form bowler to rise up. Especially the effective bowling from Indian spinners automatically asks a lot more from her. She is very much capable of providing such performance and both the team and their fans will expect her to deliver in this game. Key Players from India Squad Smriti Mandhana The dashing Indian opener is yet to get runs in this series. She would be more than willing to get runs on the pitches where she would lead India’s batting in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Therefore, Bangladesh must be especially aware of this cricketer who is always hungry for runs. Deepti Sharma  Deepti Sharma already picked three wickets in this T20I series against Bangladesh. But most importantly she kept an economy of 3.625 which kept Bangladesh under pressure and made the task easy for other bowlers. She is expected to do something similar in the 3rd T20I as well. Her strong game sense and effective bowling would also be key for India’s victory this time. Final Words  India are the favorites ahead of the 3rd T20I in the 2024 BAN vs IND Women’s T20I series. But Bangladesh have grown a fighting and ‘never giving up’ mentality over the last 1-1.5 years. Therefore, tigresses are expected to fight strongly in this game to survive in the series. The stage is set for an exciting game on Thursday, May 2 at Sylhet. Read more: Preview of Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe 1st T20I Match of 2024

Taijul Islam was in fine form on day two of the Dhaka Test, claiming three wickets and putting India under pressure by making runs difficult to come by. India were at 19 for none at the end of day one. But they got off to a shaky start on day two in response to Bangladesh's first innings total of 227. At lunch of day two, India were batting at 83 for three, with Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant not out for 18 and 12, respectively. Read more: Siddons blames Bangladesh's batting collapse in Dhaka Test on mental lapses Indian captain Lokesh Rahul was the first batter to fall prey to Taijul. Although he tried to defend a delivery of the left-arm spinner, the ball hit his front pad first. Bangladesh appealed for an lbw, but the umpire was not convinced. However, the review revealed that the ball was indeed heading for the stumps and Rahul had no choice but to walk off the field. Shubman Gill became the next prey of Taijul. The ball hit his pad and the appeal for an lbw was convincing enough for the umpire to declare him out. India lost both openers with only 38 runs on the board. But the third wicket partnership between Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat was going well. However, their stand was cut short as Mominul Haque took a sharp catch at the short fine leg, allowing Taijul to claim his third wicket in the match, dismissing Pujara. Read more: Dhaka Test: Umesh, Ashwin run rampant, leave Bangladesh floundering Bangladesh opted to bat first in the Dhaka Test, with Mominul Haque contributing 84 runs to their 227/10. This was Mominul's first fifty after 12 innings. For India, Umesh Yadav and Ravichandran Ashwin each bagged four wickets.

Bangladesh won the toss and chose to bat first in the crucial second Test of the two-match series against India at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka. Bangladesh made two alterations to their playing XI, swapping out Yasir Ali and Ebadot Hossain for Mominul Haque and Taskin Ahmed. India omitted Kuldeep Yadav, who had a successful first Test, and brought in Jaydev Unadkat. This will be only his second Test since his debut in 2010, having missed an astonishing 118 Tests in between, which puts him second in the all-time list for most consecutive Tests missed between appearances.

India secured victory in the first Test of the ongoing series in Chattogram, and are now looking to register a clean sweep in this match. Meanwhile, Bangladesh are hoping for a strong comeback, as they have never won a Test against India in the 12 matches they have played against them. Players of BAN vs IND 2nd Test in Dhaka Bangladesh (Playing XI): Najmul Hossain Shanto, Zakir Hasan, Mominul Haque, Litton Das, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Nurul Hasan (w), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Khaled Ahmed, Taskin Ahmed.

Nasum Ahmed, the talented left-arm spinner, has been selected for the Bangladesh Test squad for the upcoming second and final Test of their series against India starting on December 22nd in Dhaka. Nasmum’s call-up to the Test squad is a major milestone in his cricketing career, and he will no doubt be eager to make an impactful debut. Nasum has represented Bangladesh in both ODI and T20I matches. He has played 83 T20 matches, 61 List A matches, 4 ODIs and 28 T20Is so far. He has taken 105 wickets in First-class cricket at an average of 30.25, 32 wickets in T20I cricket at 20.03, 5 wickets in ODI cricket at 25.60, 80 wickets in List A cricket at 27.28 and 71 wickets in T20 cricket at 25.23. His best bowling figures are 7/43 in First-class cricket, 4/10 in T20I, and 5/49 in List-A cricket. Read more: Chattogram Test: India register a big win as Bangladesh’s batting woes continue Bangladesh has opted to leave out pace bowlers Ebadot Hossain and Shoriful Islam due to their respective injuries for this match. Nasum Ahmed has been called up as a substitute for Shakib Al Hasan in the next Test match as Shakib will likely be limited to batting only due to an injury he sustained from a bouncer bowled by Umran Malik in the ODI series. Shakib played the last ODI and first Test in Chattogram with that pain. Read more: Ctg Test: Zakir hits a ton on debut, but Bangladesh still in trouble Bangladesh were defeated by 188 runs in their opening Test match in Chattogram, largely due to a lacklustre batting display in the first innings. To save the match, Bangladesh needed to bat the entire fifth day, but they failed to do that. Bangladesh squad for Dhaka Test: Zakir Hasan, Nazmul Hossain Shanto, Mominul Haque, Yasir Ali, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan, Liton Das, Nurul Hasan, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Khaled Ahmed, Nasum Ahmed, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Rejaur Rahman Raja.

Bangladeshi fast bowler Taskin Ahmed’s participation in the first Test of the two-match series against India — starting on December 14 in Chattogram — is uncertain. After being unavailable for the first two ODIs of the three-match series against India in Dhaka, he featured in the last ODI in Chattogram, suffering yet another injury that might hinder his performance and put his involvement in the upcoming Test in question. “I just returned from an injury,” Taskin said during a media interaction on Monday. “The team management is concerned about my fitness.” Read more: BAN vs IND Test Series 2022: Test Championship Scenarios, Squads, Fixtures, Venues, Head-to-Head Record Taskin has expressed uncertainty regarding his availability for the upcoming first Test of the series, citing his injury and lingering doubts about his fitness levels. In the last ODI of the series that Bangladesh ultimately lost by a large margin, Taskin conceded 89 runs in nine overs — it was the worst bowling figure he had ever recorded in the format. It was clear that the pacer was not at the peak of his form. The second and last Test of the series will be played in Dhaka. Read more: Bangladesh vs India: Taskin uncertain for 2nd ODI Meanwhile, Indian captain Rohit Sharma has been ruled out of the first Test due to an injury he sustained in the second ODI in Dhaka, which led to his absence from the Indian team in the third ODI. Along with Rohit, the Indian team will also be without pace-bowler Mohammad Shami and allrounder Ravindra Jadeja for the first Test, although they may be available for the second Test in Dhaka. Both teams had engaged in a three-match ODI series ahead of the Test series that Bangladesh ultimately won by 2-1. This marked the second ODI series win for Bangladesh over India, with the first victory coming in 2015.

Bangladesh pulled off an incredible one-wicket victory over India in Mirpur on Sunday. The outcome was sealed by a remarkable 51-run partnership between Mehidy Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman for the last wicket, propelling the hosts forward in the series.  Despite a dismal batting performance that saw Bangladesh lose five wickets for eight runs in the span of 27 balls - from 128/4 to 136/9 -, a win was unexpected for the Tigers. But Mehidy and Mustafizur led the hosts to a memorable victory against the odds. Mehidy remained unbeaten with 38 runs off 39 balls, featuring four fours and two sixes. Mustafizur also remained not out after scoring 10 runs off 11 balls. In pursuit of 187, Bangladesh got off to a slow start as they lost four wickets within 95 runs. Liton Das top-scored among the top-order batters with 41 runs off 63 balls, while Najmul Hossain Shanto was dismissed off the first ball, prodding a Dipak Chahar delivery towards the first slip. Liton and Anamaul Haque Bijoy managed to steady the ship with a 26-run partnership before Anamul had a close call when the umpire overturned a lbw call after the third umpire determined the ball was missing the leg-stump.

Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bowl first in the first ODI of the three-match series against India on Sunday (December 04, 2022) at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka.  With this match, Liton Das started his ODI captaincy as the 15th man from Bangladesh. The regular captain of Bangladesh, Tamim Iqbal, was ruled out due to a groin injury.  This is the first ODI in Dhaka after more than a year.  Read more: Bangladesh vs India Series 2022: Full Fixtures, Squads, H2H Records Bangladesh fielded three pacers — Hasan Mahmud, Mustafizur Rahman and Ebadot Hossain — in this match. Along with Shakib Al Hasan, Mehidy Hasan Miraz is the second spinner for Bangladesh.  Kuldeep Sen, a right-handed pacer, is making his debut for India. He has 25 wickets in 13 List-A matches so far.  Bangladesh and India faced each other in 36 ODIs with India winning 30 of those and Bangladesh only five (one match ended with no result). The stats unmistakably indicate the gulf between these two teams.

Bangladesh and India will be locking horns in the opening ODI of their three-match series at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Sunday at 12pm (Dhaka time).  India is set to return for a bilateral series after a seven-year absence, with Bangladesh having emerged victorious in the last encounter in 2015. This eagerly anticipated showdown is expected to be fiercely competitive, with both sides gearing up to unleash their best efforts. The absence of Bangladesh's star opener Tamim Iqbal and pacer Taskin Ahmed due to injury will give an advantage to India, who also have to make do without the services of the well-rounded fast bowler Mohammad Shami. This weakens India's pace attack, but the presence of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the batting line-up gives them an edge.  Read: Liton says he’s ‘excited’ on the eve of leading Bangladesh in ODIs A lot of expectations are pinned on Liton Das, the new Bangladesh skipper, who will be looking to make an impression in his first assignment as captain. The right-hander had a stellar campaign last year, amassing 500 runs with an average of 62 in 10 matches, including a century and four half-centuries. He also has a century against India from the 2018 Asia Cup Final, making him the one to watch out for in the series opener. The expectations on Bangladesh's left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman will be high as he recorded two five-fors in his debut ODI series against India in 2015 that helped the Tigers secure their first ODI series win over India. Despite struggling in recent times, Mustafizur will be expected to deliver an impressive performance when cricket is back home in familiar conditions. For India, Rohit Sharma will be leading from the front. The right-handed batter has three centuries against Bangladesh, indicating his fine form against them.  Speaking ahead of the series opener, India captain Rohit Sharma said, “I think it’s going to be an exciting series as always has been. Whenever we have come to Bangladesh, they are a very challenging team and we have to play well to beat them. It is a very simple equation for us.” Rohit also said that he believes the rivalry between India and Bangladesh has been exciting for the past few years. He noted that for the last seven to eight years, Bangladesh's cricket team has improved tremendously and it is not easy for India to win matches against them anymore and they have to play good cricket to be successful. Read: Liton to lead Tigers in ODIs v India Bangladesh captain Liton Das said, “We are excited about this series. We have played some tough cricket against them in recent times. They will not consider us an underdog which is a big inspiration for us.” The match promises to be a thrilling affair. With both teams keen on making a statement, all eyes are set on the first ODI as the series gets underway. The first match is a day-night affair and will be played under floodlights. This promises to bring out the best in both teams, making it an exciting contest. Excitement is building for the upcoming bilateral series, with all tickets having been snapped up within a few hours of being released. Fans eager to catch the action in the next match can purchase tickets on December 6 at the counters of Shaheed Suhrawardy Indoor Stadium in Mirpur. The first match of the series is scheduled to take place on Sunday, while the third match will be played on December 7 at the same venue. To conclude the series, the final and last ODI is set to be played at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram on December 10.

Bangladesh lost their fourth match of the Super 12 of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 to India by five runs in Adelaide on Wednesday. In the last over, Bangladesh needed to score 20 runs to seal the match, but the Tigers managed to score 14 runs. After the one-hour break forced by the rain, Bangladesh needed 85 off 54 balls in a revised target, but the Tigers could not do it. Liton Das, who was unbeaten for 59 before the rain, managed only a run and got trapped in a run-out. Read more: T20 World Cup 2022: Shakib and Afif out, Bangladesh at 101 for 4 That was the point at which Bangladesh started to lose the match. Bangladesh kept losing the wicket after Liton’s dismissal, and eventually they fell short by five runs and lost the match. For India, Arshdeep and Hardik Pandya took two wickets each. Earlier, Virat Kohli smashed an unbeaten 64 off 44 balls and propelled India to a massive total of 184 for six against Bangladesh in their fourth match of the Super 12 stage of the World Cup. Shoriful Islam, who was picked up in this match to replace Soumya Sarkar, conceded 57 runs and failed to bag any wickets. Hasan Mahmud, the other pacer, bagged three wickets but conceded more than 11 runs an over. The Bangladeshi bowlers were impressive in the power play when they conceded only 37 runs, picking up one wicket. Hasan missed a dolly from Rohit Sharma at the boundary, off the ball of Taskin Ahmed. But in the fourth over, Hasan removed Rohit for two as Yasir took a great catch. Read more: T20 World Cup 2022: Bangladesh need 85 runs in 54 balls vs India as match resumes Taskin was imperious from the first over. He bowled out his overs early in the innings, conceding just 15 runs. At one point, he seemed unplayable for the Indian batters. But he was unlucky and ended up wicketless. Lokesh Rahul was on fire in the middle. He smashed 24 runs off the ninth over bowled by Shoiful Islam. The left-arm seamer conceded two sixes in that over with a no-ball and a wide. Rahul picked up his fifty off just 31 balls. Shakib conceded 10 runs off his first over but managed to scalp the dangerous wicket of Lokesh. Virat played some glorious shots after coming to bat after the dismissal of Rohit. Virat Kohli and Lokesh Rahul added 67 runs on the board off just 37 balls. But Bangladesh somehow managed to contain Virat in the middle. But in the 15th over, Virat hit two fours off Mustafizur Rahman with an inside edge that went past the stumps. After the 15th over, India were at 130 for 3, with Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya batting for 40 and five, respectively. Read more: T20 World Cup 2022: Liton hits a 21-ball 50 vs India before rain starts Hardik came to bat after Shakib bowled Suryakumar Yadav for 30 off 16 balls. The number-one T20 batter was getting dangerous before Shakib trapped him. In the last five overs, India added 54 runs, with Virat hitting a 37-ball fifty and ending up on 64 off 44 balls. Before Virat reached his fifty, Hasan removed Hardik Pandya off the first ball of the 16th over. With this unbeaten 64*, Virat passed the 200-run mark in this World Cup so far. A dual effort from Shakib and Shoriful managed to send Dinesh Karthik back trapped in a run-out. He has a history of getting dangerous in the death overs against Bangladesh. Shakib bagged two wickets, while Mustafizur Rahman conceded 31 runs but failed to get any wickets. With this win against Bangladesh, India got one step closer to the semifinals of the T20 World Cup 2022.
