After being blown away by pace and bounce from South Africa’s pacers in a five-wicket loss at Perth, India are seeking to get back to winning ways in the tournament when they will be up against Bangladesh in a crucial Group 2 match at a scenic Adelaide oval on Wednesday.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, are coming into the match after a nail-biting three-run win over Zimbabwe at Brisbane. In 11 T20I matches played between the two teams, India have won 10 times while Bangladesh have been on the winning side just once.

“India is the favourite team, they [have] come here to win the [T20] World Cup. We are not favourites and we didn’t come here to win the World Cup. So, you can understand the situation and we know it very well. If we can win against India, it will [be] called an upset. So, we will try to play our best cricket and try to make an upset,” said Shakib in the pre-match press conference.
“It will be a good contest and I think our team will enjoy it,” added the all-rounder.
