Bangladesh vs India: Najmul Hossain Shanto Wins Toss, Chooses to Field in ICC T20 World Cup 2024

North Sound [Antigua], June 22: Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and chose 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 in Group 1 of the Super 8 stage, along with Afghanistan and Australia. India enters this match after a 47-run victory over Afghanistan, while Bangladesh lost their first Super Eight match by 28 runs.

Shanto said, “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.”

India’s captain Rohit Sharma mentioned, “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.”
