Prediction
Due to their experience and batting prowess, India had the advantage coming into the match. Given its recent history, Bangladesh should not be ignored. India has greater opportunities because it has both good bowlers and batsmen.
Pitch Conditions
India’s strong batting lineup will benefit from a wicket that is batting-friendly. A track that is good for spinning, on the other hand, would help Bangladesh’s spinners. India has skilled spinners as well. As the match is meant solely to be a warm-up, both teams aim to give every player an opportunity.
Key Players to Watch for Bangladesh
Shakib al-Hasan
Maybe Bangladesh’s best all-around player ever is Shakib. In addition to being a slow left-arm straight bowler, he bats left-handed. Right now, he is ranked second among all-rounders by the ICC, behind only Sri Lanka’s Hasaranga. Shakib has long been an important part of Bangladesh’s team, and the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 will undoubtedly see him play a major role once more.
Litton Das
The wicketkeeper-batsman, Litton Das, has been playing well lately. He bats right-handed and is known for his forceful approach to the game. He hopes to carry over his recent success at the T20 World Cup.

Key Players to Watch for India
Rohit Sharma
In this tournament, Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Indian squad, will be held to high standards; his performance will be crucial to the team’s success. Virat Kohli will lead the Indian batting attack if he is available for this warm-up match.
Jasprit Bumrah
Indian bowling is being led by Jasprit Bumrah, one of the top bowlers in the world at the moment. He will be participating in a prior warm-up. He was having a good IPL season, taking 20 wickets in 13 games.
The upcoming warm-up match between India and Bangladesh appears to be a helpful preparation session for both teams ahead of the T20 World Cup. India appears to be the overwhelming favourite due to their batting lineup and depth of experience, but they should not underestimate Bangladesh’s ability or their recent performance. This match will give cricket fans a taste of what great cricket is all about and provide important insights into how both teams are getting ready for the World Cup.
