India, on the other hand, started off their campaign with two consecutive victories against Pakistan and Zimbabwe, respectively. But they fell to South Africa by 5 wickets in a closely-contested affair in Perth and moved down to the second spot. The Indian batters struggled to cope with the Proteas pace attacks on Perth’s bouncy wicket. They will hope to make a strong comeback against the Tigers. Indian bowlers, on the other hand, have performed brilliantly in this competition so far. Batting against them will be a real challenge for the Bangladesh batters.
Overall, the odds are favouring India to seal the contest, but Bangladesh have the capability to upset any opposition in the world on any given day.
