Match Preview
IND vs BAN: India will face Bangladesh in the 35th match of the ICC Mens T20 World Cup 2022. The group 2 matches will be played on Wednesday, 2nd November 2022 at Adelaide Oval stadium.
India is on a rampage after defeating their arch-rival Pakistan in the opening game of the tournament. After that, they arrived in Sydney and registered a comfortable win over Netherlands in the second game. However, things went sideways in Perth, where they lost a close contest against South Africa. Nevertheless, their position is strong at the points table accompanied by a healthy run rate. The men in blue need a couple of more games to go on their way in order to fix a spot in the semi-finals.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, survived a scare in its last encounter against Zimbabwe. Batting first, Bangladesh scored a total of 150 runs on board. Zimbabwe came close to the target but fell short of just 4 runs in the dramatic and eventful final over. Bangladesh stands right alongside India with 4 points each. However, due to a negative net run rate, they are placed 3rd on the points table. A win here would take them forward onto the second position.

Match Predictions for IND vs BAN
India is the probable winner of this match. They are in good shape despite missing a couple of key players. The bowling has been good but the batters, especially the openers, need to find their form back going forward in the tournament. Also, Dinesh Karthik is doubtful for this game as he sustained an injury in the previous game against South Africa. Rishabh Pant can finally have a game. Meanwhile, Bangladesh is also in good shape. The skipper has brought fortune to the entire squad. Taskin Ahmed is their best bowler this season. They too are likely to put up a good fight. Overall, a close encounter is likely on the cards.
