India Vs Bangladesh, Adelaide Oval - ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022; Match Preview
India, after beating arch rivals Pakistan and then brushing aside Netherlands faced their first defeat at the hands of South Africa at Perth. Bangladesh meanwhile have also managed to win against Netherlands and then that final ball thriller again Zimbabwe sandwiched between the crushing loss to South Africa.
There were hail storms in Adelaide today but the weather looks clear for tomorrow as of now.
Rohit hit a scratchy 50 against the Netherlands but KL Rahul now has 3 single digit scores and is under pressure to perform. Kohli has been at his best while Surya Kumar Yadav is currently one of the best batters going around. Hardik Pandya hasn't had much to do so far while Karthik might be out due to lower back issues and Pant might slot in as a replacement.
Bangladesh batting hasn't really strong together meaningful partnerships which has led to their recent lean run. Shakib hasn't been at his consistent best while Sarkar, Litton all blow more cold than hot. Opener Najmul Hossain Shanto and late middle order Afif Hossain have looked good and Bangladesh will be going for more good things from the duo.
Taskin Ahmed has been in scintillating form picking up 2 MoTM awards in both the wins while Mustafizur looks to be slowly coming back into form as well. Hasan Mahmud and Mosaddek Hossain will have to provide support to the main bowlers. Bangladesh might also consider playing Mehidy Hasan to strengthen their bowling attack in place of Yasir Ali.
Arshadeep Singh has been the pick of the Indian bowlers so far and has impressed every game. Shami and Bhuvi have looked good in patches and will hope to have a solid game overall. Ashwin has been totally ineffective unable to either pick wickets or stem the flow of runs when required. India could consider playing Chahal over him.

Bangladesh are still in the running for reaching the semi final and this added pressure might work against them. They've not been at their best for quite some time now but India always seems to bring that extra little from the men in green.
