Who will win the match?

On the other hand, India has been impressive in all aspects of the tournament and has been in great form with both the bat and the ball. Considering their current form, the Indians will surely be the favourites going into this match. Get ready for an epic clash!

India vs Bangladesh Toss Prediction

India Preview and Playing XI
Rohit Sharma’s team has proven themselves as the favourites of the tournament. They secured an impressive 7-wicket victory against their rivals, Pakistan, in their last game. With a strong top order and a formidable bowling attack, they have made it challenging for their opponents. Sharma wants his team to maintain their momentum and win this game in order to strengthen their position in the semifinal race.
Sharma, who has scored 217 runs in three games, aims to provide a solid start alongside Shubman Gill. The middle order, consisting of Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, and KL Rahul, has performed well, and they hope to form successful partnerships in this match. Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ravichandran Ashwin bring depth and strength to the lower middle order.
In the past three games, the Indian bowlers have been dominant. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj have troubled batsmen with their new ball deliveries and will strive to take early wickets. The spin trio of Kuldeep Yadav, Jadeja, and Ashwin have bowled impressively and will look to exploit the current conditions to trouble the Bangladeshi team. Pandya’s addition further strengthens this formidable bowling attack.
India Playing XI:
Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj
Bangladesh Preview and Playing XI
The Bangladeshi team must come up with a strong strategy to defeat India. Shakib Al Hasan will need to play a key role in this match, both with the ball and bat. He must use his experience and be supported by tight spells from Mustafizur Rahman and Shoriful Islam to trouble India’s top order. The side will need significant contributions from Litton Das and Tanzid Hasan at the top, as consistency has been an issue for them throughout the tournament.
The middle order also needs solid partnerships between Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Shakib and Mushfiqur Rahim. Fireworks in the final overs from Towhid Hridoy and Mahmudullah are imperative if they are to put up a big score on the board. Taskin Ahmed and Mahmudullah have to bowl well in supporting roles for Bangladesh’s bowling attack which has struggled in their last two games.
Bangladesh Playing XI: Shakib Al Hasan (c), Litton Das, Tanzid Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman
