Done with the pre-match formalities and now it's time for the action to begin! It's a pleasant day at North Sound, Antigua, with the sun shining to its glory along with a good breeze around as well. The two umpires make their way out to the middle. Out stride the two vastly experienced openers of India, skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli with the former taking the guard, and will face spin first up. Mahedi Hasan will get the proceedings underway with the ball for Bangladesh. The countdown finishes, and here we go...

We are just a few moments away from this clash to commence at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua. But before that, the two sets of players line up for their respective national anthems followed by the match officials. It will be Bangladesh's first, followed by the national anthem of India.

Ravindra Jadeja is in for a chat. He says that he is loving his time here in the Caribbean. Adds that pitches in New York suited the bowlers, but the conditions here in West Indies allow batters to get themselves in and score runs. Feels that they need to bowl while keeping in mind the wind factor and choose ends accordingly. Tells that in T20 cricket, small cameos play a big part and he tries to use his experience in the middle. Further says that he is not worried about his form and if he can score at a good strike rate, it is going to help the team.

The captain of India, Rohit Sharma says that they were looking to bat first, so they got what they wanted. Adds that they now need to put up a good show with the bat. Reckons that it looks like a good wicket but it all depends on how much the sun beats and slows the surface down. Feels that it is important to assess as quickly as possible, which they have done well so far. Informs that they are playing the same team as the last game. Tells that it is important to turn up well for every game and not worry about what lies ahead.

Najmul Hossain Shanto, the skipper of Bangladesh says they plan to restrict the opposition to a low total. Says it is a good opportunity for them and they have played some good cricket and also aim to continue with the form. He adds that they know the conditions well and says it's a good wicket. Also adds that wind will be a factor and feels 150-160 would be a good total. Informs that they have one change with Jaker Ali coming in for Taskin Ahmed.

Bangladesh (Playing XI) - Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das (WK), Najmul Hossain Shanto (C), Towhid Hridoy, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, Jaker Ali (In for Taskin Ahmed), Rishad Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Mustafizur Rahman.

India (Unchanged Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma (C), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah.

TOSS - The flip of the coin lands in the favour of Najmul Hossain Shanto and Bangladesh have opted to BOWL first.

PITCH REPORT - Sunil Gavaskar and Harsha Bhogle are at the 22 yards. Harsha Bhogle begins and says it is a bit warm out there but a very strong breeze is blowing across the ground which will help the ball to sail away if hit with the wind. Mentions the dimensions by saying it is 61 meters and 67 meters at the square. Sunil Gavaskar joins him and says this looks like a pretty good track to bat on and the batters will enjoy playing their strokes. Also adds that wrist spinners will get more help as compared to the finger spinners and reckons it is a 180 kind of surface. Ends up by saying the captain winning the toss must bowl first. 

Bangladesh, on the other hand, face a quick turnaround after losing to Australia in their Super 8 campaign opener. Tanzim Hasan Sakib has led the charge in the pace department while leggie Rishad Hossain has also delivered the goods with the ball. In terms of batting, Towhid Hridoy has been the shining light, but a collective effort will be crucial to their chances in this clash. Having played in Antigua before, Najmul Hossain Shanto and his men will have a fair idea of the conditions. Can Bangladesh spring a surprise? Or will the Indian juggernaut continue to roll on? Let's find out. Toss and team news coming up in a bit.

India, along with South Africa and Australia, are unbeaten so far and look poised to progress to the semi-finals. Although Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have not performed upto expectations, Suryakumar Yadav and Rishabh Pant have put their hands up at crucial junctures in the competition. On the bowling front, Jasprit Bumrah has been at the top of his game, supported superbly by the rest of the attack in what has been a dominant bowling performance from the Men in Blue so far. All in all, India look like a well-oiled unit and seem to have the right balance to perform in the Caribbean conditions.

Hello and welcome everyone! We are here in Antigua at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium for another exciting all-Asian clash in Group 1 as Bangladesh and India go head-to-head. Fresh from their victory over Afghanistan, India will be looking to move closer to the semi-finals with another win, while a loss for Bangladesh could push them to the brink of elimination. Although Bangladesh have come close to beating India in the past, they are yet to do so in their four previous meetings in Men's T20 World Cups. With their tournament lives on the line, they will need to rewrite history here in Antigua.

... MATCH DAY ...

The 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup is nearing its business and the top 8 teams from the group stages are currently divided into two groups of four in a battle to claim a top two finish in their respective group and make it through to the semifinals. In Match 7 of the Super Eight stage, Asian giants India will go up against neighbors and rivals Bangladesh at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua in a bid to get closer to a semifinal spot. India have had an unblemished record so far in the competition brushing aside other Asian teams like Pakistan and an upbeat Afghanistan side as well in their most recent contest. While the highly experienced duo of skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli hasn't quite fired for them at the top, the middle order has shown some signs of greatness, the latest example being that of Suryakumar Yadav who made a prolific fifty in their last game against Afghanistan. Rishabh Pant has only managed to do more than a decent job at number 3 and has provided some necessary impetus to the batting at times. Shivam Dube has had a lean tournament so far but Hardik Pandya did show his prowess in the last game which will certainly bolster the team's confidence. Axar Patel has been another player who has managed to deliver at crucial stages, whether with the bat or ball and has now become a mainstay of this team. Jasprit Bumrah has been at his best and even when the conditions aren't pace-friendly, he just seems to rise above the challenge. He has been well-supported by the others and India have the flexibility to interchange the likes of Mohammed Siraj and either Kuldeep Yadav or Yuzvendra Chahal according to the conditions which makes them a very complete bowling unit. Bangladesh on the other hand have blown hot and cold so far and have threatened a bit to beat those top teams but haven't quite managed to be consistent throughout the game. The batting in general has been patchy and only Towhid Hridoy seems to be the consistent performer in the side and he has been so for the past 8-9 months. Skipper, Najmul Hossain Shanto did enjoy a fruitful outing against Australia last time around but the likes of Litton Das, Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah need to do more. The bowling has been a positive for them so far and Tanzim Hasan Sakib has looked the best of the bunch but Taskin Ahmed was taken to the cleaners in the last game and Shakib being unable to deliver with the ball makes a lot of difference in being contenders and going on to actually win against a big side. This game will bring back memories of that Quarterfinal in the 2016 edition where Bangladesh were on the verge of notching up a famous win against India that too in India but they choked right at the death. Can Bangladesh step up their game and play a consistent game of cricket against the big guns? Or will India brush them aside and get one foot in the semifinals? Only time will tell.
