Preview
India will take on Bangladesh in the Super 8 Group 1 T20 World Cup 2024 match at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua. The Rohit Sharma-led Indian team arrived at this stage of the tournament after putting up a dominating performance in their group, winning three matches while one of them ended in a no result.

Pitch Report
The pitches at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua, have assisted the bowlers in the T20 World Cup 2024 but the batters have managed to get big scores on the board amidst tricky conditions. With that, the average first-innings score of 132 runs, this could prove to be far from enough for either India or Bangladesh to defend.

Bangladesh
Although the captain Najmul Hossain Shanto did not come up good with the bat in the group stage of the T20 World Cup 2024, he did play a crucial 36-ball 41 in Bangladesh’s opening Super 8 match against Australia. Apart from Shanto, the likes of Tanzid Hasan, Towhid Hridoy, Shakib Al Hasan, and Mahmudullah Riyad have contributed significantly to the side’s cause. The bowling attack has been a stronger suit for Bangladesh in the tournament, with Mustafizur Rahman, Tanzid Hasan Sakib, Taskin Ahmed, and Rishad Hossain picking up majority of wickets.
