 On Friday night, in a match between India and Bangladesh, the Indian batting lineup faced difficulties in facing Bangladesh spinners on a turning track. Young centurion Shubman Gill said: 'We're trying to improve our batting on slow pitches'.

Gill said it was important to give attention to the area in view of the approaching World Cup, and the Asia Cup final on Sunday against Sri Lanka.
"It is definitely an area that we are trying to improve on. We had camp in Bangalore before coming here, and we were practicing on similar wickets," said Gill during the post-match press conference after India failed to chase down 265.
"World Cup is such a long tournament as we go deeper into the tournament, the wicket tends to get slower."
Gill said the Indian batting unit is trying to minimise the dot balls by increasing the strike rotation.
