India Fine-Tuning for World Cup

Bangladesh Aiming to Upset
Bangladesh, coming off a series win against the USA but with their first warm-up match rained out, will be looking to spring a surprise against a strong Indian team. Youngsters like Towhid Hridoy and Tanzid Hasan impressed in the USA series and could be crucial for Bangladesh. Mustafizur Rahman and Rishad Hossain will lead their bowling attack.

The pitch at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium is expected to be a good batting surface with an average first innings score of around 170 runs. The weather forecast predicts a sunny day with light winds.

India is the clear favorite based on their superior record against Bangladesh (12 wins out of 13 T20I matches) and their recent form. However, Bangladesh should not be completely discounted, especially on a batting-friendly pitch.
