The race for the T20 World Cup semi-final spots is hotting up. The top teams are battling it out to try and make the cut for the final four. Every match is crucial for every team.
In that context Team India have a very important match today vs Bangladesh in Adelaide. It’s the fourth match of the Super 12 stage for the Men in Blue, who are coming off their first loss of the tournament – a 5 wicket defeat against South Africa.
Though on paper the Bangla Tigers are not as menacing an opposition as the Proteas, in this format no team can be taken lightly. Add to that the fact that Bangladesh are also on 4 points after 3 matches (the exact same as India), and behind Rohit Sharma and co. only on NRR and you know that today’s encounter is a supremely crucial one for both teams.
The weather in Australia this time has surprised many. Multiple matches have been affected by rain and many of them have been forced to be abandoned, resulting in teams splitting points. Neither India nor Bangladesh would want that scenario today.
