On June 22, at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua, India faced Bangladesh in Match 47 of the T20 World Cup 2024. Bangladesh chose to bowl first after winning the toss. Bangladesh began the contest with one notable change—Jaker Ali replaced Taskin Ahmed—while India fielded the same squad. It should be noted that India defeated Afghanistan in their opening Super 8 match, whereas Bangladesh lost to Australia.
In the last match, Bangladesh used Taskin sparingly; the bowler bowled just eight deliveries. He was costly as he gave up an astounding 22 runs at an economy rate of 16.50 while picking up zero wickets. Najmul Hossain Shanto’s determination to keep India to a low score indicates that the Tigers want to bolster their batting arsenal while chasing, as evidenced by the introduction of wicket-keeper batsman Jaker Ali.
This is the plan: we want to bowl first and limit them to a little amount. We are aware of the local conditions in addition to the wind factor. Seems like a solid wicket. I believe a score of 150–160 will be good.
One change has occurred. In the toss, Shanto remarked, ” Taskin Ahmed is not playing.”
“We got what we wanted, which was to bat. It appears to be a nice wicket, but it will depend on how much the light shines and slows down the pitch. It is crucial to evaluate the circumstances promptly. The same team is our opponent. It’s crucial to focus on the here and now and not worry about the past or the future, Rohit stated during the toss.
