India vs Bangladesh Preview: Rishabh Pant’s flair at the top might be in demand by many fans but India are expected to persist with an out-of-form KL Rahul when they take on a relatively weaker Bangladesh in the T20 World Cup on Wednesday. With just 22 runs in three matches, against big teams like Pakistan and South Africa, has once again raised questions about KL Rahul’s big-match temperament and technique against quality attacks. Bangladesh, not the strongest T20 sides in the competition due to their mediocre bowling attack, might just be the ideal opposition for KL Rahul to gain some form. Mustafizur Rahaman, Taskin Ahmed, Mehidy Hasan Miraj, skipper Shakib al Hasan and Hasan Mahmud are a decent bowling attack but not world class. Suryakumar Yadav and Virat Kohli have already played brilliant knocks while Rohit Sharma looked good in his fifty against the Netherlands. Dinesh Karthik’s back spasms issue might open up the opportunity for Pant’s inclusion in the playing XI. Squads: India: Rohit Sharma (captain), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Rishabh Pant (wk), Yuzvendra Chahal, R Ashwin, Axar Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Harshal Patel, Deepak Hooda Bangladesh: Shakib al Hasan (captain), Najmul Hossain Shanto, Soumya Sarkar, Afif Hossain, Mosaddek Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraj, Shoriful Islam, Ebadot Hossain, Nurul Hasan, Litton Das, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Yasir Ali, Nasum Hossain, Mustafizur Rahaman Read all the Latest News , Trending News , Cricket News , Bollywood News , India News and Entertainment News here.

India vs Bangladesh, T20 World Cup, HIGHLIGHTS: Arshdeep Singh held his nerve on the final ball of the match as India clinched a win by 5 runs (D/L Method)
)
Arshdeep just gives one on the final ball and that’s a win for India by 5 runs (D/L Method). The Men in Blue are into the semis
Nurul slices it through the backward point area for a boundary bringing down the equation to 7 off 1
Wrong length from Arshdeep. He was waiting for it. Nurul Hasan was sitting deep inside his crease. Arshdeep comes round the wicket, bowls that short and Nurul pulls it away for a maximum over square leg
Taskin is striking well. He got a boundary on the first ball and has hammered this one of the ground for a maximum on the on side. A touch back of the length from Pandya and Taskin throws the kitchen sink on it
Bangladesh are losing wickets and losing their way now. That’s the fifth gone down. Yasir Ali swings his bat on the back of the length delivery from Hardik Pandya, doesn’t time that and is caught by Arshdeep behind backward point
Arshdeep has two in the over. He goes full again and Shakib takes him on, goes for the big hit, doesn’t really get the distance and is caught at deep mid-wicket by Deepak Hooda for 13 off 12
Here’s another one. Arshdeep has a wicket now. He removes Afif Hosain for 3 off 5 as the left-hander takes the aerial route on the fuller delivery but miscues the stroke and is caught by Suryakumar Yadav who runs in from long on
Back to back boundaries for Shakib. He first goes straight down the ground and now hits it over covers to get two on the trot
ONE MORE! ONE MORE! Shami has struck. That’s another important one gone down. Shanto slogs that fuller delivery from Shami straight to Suryakumar Yadav at long on. He departs for 21 off 25
India have a wicket after the break, courtesy a stunning throw from KL Rahul. Shanto guided one to the on side and went for the run. The batters completed the first and went for the second. Meanwhile Rahul charged in from deep mid-wicket area, picked up the ball and hit a bull’s eye at the non-striker’s end. Das who was running to the danger end made a full length dive but still fell short of the crease. He was dismissed for 60 off 27
So, we have the revised target for Bangladesh which is 151 to chase in 16 overs. The play has resumed in Adelaide now
Good news for the fans. The covers are coming off. But we will lose some overs for sure. Let’s see what’s the revised target is for Bangladesh
19 overs: 177
17 overs: 160
15 overs: 142
12 overs: 112
10 overs: 89
The play has been stopped due to rain. The covers are on. The DLS par score after 7 overs is 49 and Bangladesh are 66/0 which means they are 17 ahead
A four and a six and that will bring up Litton Das’ FIFTY! He plays one to the backward square leg boundary for a four and follows it with a maximum over deep square leg region. Das dances down the track and drags that touch back of the length delivery to the boundary and gets a SIX!
Litton Das is in fine touch today. He goes across the stumps on that one, uses the pace on the ball and scoops it for a maximum
6,4,4 and Das is scoring runs quickly here. He first pulled one for a maximum to the on side and followed it with two fours on the trot, one over mid off and the next one to the third man region
After 2 overs,Bangladesh 14/0 ( Najmul Hossain Shanto 1 , Litton Das 13)

Another boundary to finish the over. Arshdeep once again goes full, offers some width and Das throws the bat on it to pierce the off side field and get another four in the over
That’s the second boundary in the over. Litton Das got a four through the off side on the first ball and now hit a fuller delivery, on to the stumps, straight down the ground for another boundary
After 20 overs,India 184/6 ( Virat Kohli 64 , Ravichandran Ashwin 13)
India vs Bangladesh
A late surge from Virat Kohli and R Ashwin has helped India post 184/6 in 20 overs. Kohli remained unbeaten at 64 while Ashwin chipped in with 13 off 6
After 19 overs,India 170/6 ( Virat Kohli 61 , Ravichandran Ashwin 2)
India vs Bangladesh
A four and a six to finish that penultimate over. Kohli first pulled a short one to the backward square leg boundary for a four and then smashed the next one straight down the ground for a maximum
India are losing wickets in a quick succession now. Hasan Mahmud bowls that slow, outside off to Axar Patel who was in for the drive but checked his shot at the last moment and chipped it in the air. Shakib Al Hasan stationed at cover took a good catch running backwards. Axar was undone for 7 off 6
Another superb knock from Virat Kohli in Adelaide. He notches up a FIFTY! Shoriful bowls that wide full toss as Kohli reaches for it and plays it wide of cover to get a couple of runs on the off side
Another one goes down. Hardik Pandya will have to walk back. Hasan once again bowls that short and wide and Pandya gets on top of the bounce. He tries to slash it over the point fielder but doesn’t connect the shot well and is caught by Yasir Ali for 5 off 6
That’s the wicket that Bangladesh were looking for. Shakib comes round the wicket to Suryakumar Yadav, bowls that straight and full as the batter gives himself some room to cut it away. But he misses the ball completely and it disturbs the wood work behind. SKY is gone for 30 off 16
Suryakumar Yadav is showing his class now. He got a couple of boundaries through the off side. The right-hander first hit it over extra cover and later danced down the track to get another one in the same region. This is absolute carnage from the Indian batting unit
KL Rahul has to depart after completing fifty. Shakib bolwed that back of the length and Rahul wanted to lap it down but top-edgeed that one and the ball went in air. Mustafizur stationed at short fine leg took a good catch running to his left. KL scored 50 off 32
DISPATCHED! There is a reason why KL Rahul is in the XI and he is showing it today. Seems that the lessons from Kohli during the nets ahead of this game are working for KL. He first hammered it away to the long on boundary and then sliced it over point. That was a FREE HIT!
GLORIOUS! GLORIOUS! Fuller from Shoriful and Kohli drives that through mid off for a boundary. Just a gentle push there from the right-hander. He is getting back in the groove now
After 7 overs,India 42/1 ( KL Rahul 23 , Virat Kohli 16)
IND vs BAN Live Score
That’s the end of a fantastic spell from Taskin Ahmed. He returns with figures of 0/15 in 4 overs. Troubled the batters with his pace
After 4 overs,India 22/1 ( KL Rahul 18 , Virat Kohli 1)
IND vs BAN Live Score
India suffered an early blow in that one as Rohit Sharma was sent back in the hut. But KL Rahul struck another maximum on the off side. Onus is now on KL and Virat Kohli to help the side make a comeback
Hasan Mahmud bowls a short one as Rohit Sharma gives himself some room and tries to go over gully but doesn’t time it well and has been caught by Yasir Ali for 2 off 8. India lose their first
