North Sound [Antigua], June 22 (ANI): Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and elected to field against India at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium on Saturday in their second match of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
Both teams are placed in the Group 1 of Super 8 at the ongoing marquee event, along with Afghanistan and Australia.
India are coming into this match after beating Afghanistan by 47 runs in their previous Super Eight match. On the other hand, Bangladesh conceded a 28-run defeat in their first Super Eight match of the marquee event.
“We would like to bowl first, we would like to restrict them to a small total and that is the plan. We know the conditions here and also about the wind factor. Looks a good wicket. 150-160 will be a good score, I reckon. We have one change. Taskin is not playing,” Shanto said after winning the toss.
Men in Blue skipper Rohit Sharma said that he would have elected to bat first if he have won the toss.
“We wanted to bat and that’s what we got. Looks like a good wicket and depends on how much the sun is beating down and making the pitch slow. It is important to assess the conditions quickly. We are playing the same team. Important to stay in the present and not worry about other things,” Rohit said.
