Bangladesh’s T20 World Cup opponents: India Now
India fights to keep control of its destiny.
Bangladesh will face India in their penultimate Super 12 match of the ICC Twenty20 World Cup 2022 on Wednesday, following two wins and a loss in their first three games. Before the battle begins at the Adelaide Oval, Prothom Alo looks closely at Team India, who will be looking to rebound after a loss to South Africa.
India began their ICC Twenty20 World Cup 2022 campaign with a thrilling four-wicket win over archrival Pakistan in what has been dubbed one of the best T20I matches ever played.
Virat Kohli reminded the clock a few years and emerged as India's savior in the match, scoring an incredible 82 not out off 53 balls under tremendous pressure in front of a packed Melbourne Cricket Ground to lead India to a victory that appeared out of reach for the majority of their chase.
Their next match was against the Netherlands, which they defeated by 56 runs.
After winning the first two games, India's World Cup campaign came to a halt against South Africa on Sunday.
South Africa's pace attack, led by Lungi Ngidi's 4-29, dominated at the WACA in Perth, limiting India to 133-9.
The Indian pacers made every effort to defend the total, but the Proteas, led by half-centuries from Aiden Markram and David Miller, won with two balls to spare.
India is currently second in Group 2 points behind South Africa, with two Super 12 matches remaining against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.
If India wins both of these games, it will advance to the semifinals. However, if India falters in either game, their fate is out of their hands.
