IND vs BAN Match Preview
India's batting has done reasonably well in the T20 World Cup 2022 so far. Among the batters, KL Rahul will be under pressure to play freely but the rest seem to be in good touch.
Rohit Sharma scored a fifty just a couple of matches before and we all know how well Virat Kohli has played. Perhaps India's best batter at the moment, though, is Suryakumar Yadav. We would back both Kohli and SKY to get some runs in this match as well.
The bowling effort from Arshdeep Singh, Mohammad Shami, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been spectacular but Ashwin has struggled.
Bangladesh has struggled with its batting lineup. The top order has shown a lot more intent and that could pay off but so far, the results have not been apparent.
Litton Das, Soumya Sarkar, Shakib Al Hasan, and Mossadek Hossain are some of the batters that are clearly very talented.
Among the bowlers, Mustafizur and Taskin will play the leading roles. The extra pace and bounce that Taskin gets will be the best chance Bangladesh has of causing an upset in this match.
Weather Report
The conditions in Adelaide are expected to be excellent for cricket. No rain has been forecast on match day.
Pitch Report
The pitch at the Adelaide Oval is flat and very good for batting. The ball comes on nicely and has a nice amount of pace. Crucially, the short square boundaries make hitting fours and sixes a lot easier.
Notable stats
India's T20 dominance over Bangladesh
With 10 wins out of 11 matches against Bangladesh in T20 internationals, it is fair to say that the rivalry between India and Bangladesh is more on social media websites than on the field.
Team News
We think India could be forced to play Rishab Pant, a good move, and give Deepak Hooda another couple of overs keeping his off-spin bowling capabilities in mind.

Dream11 Prediction
We think India will end up winning this match quite comfortably. Not only is India one of the best teams in the world but it is also very comfortable playing in Australian conditions. Bangladesh could not be further from its ideal playing surfaces.
Our Dream11 team is going to lean a lot more heavily towards the Indian team.
Top Picks
Arshdeep Singh - The man with the golden arm for India, Arshdeep Singh has a habit of picking up wickets with the new ball. He could be a real handful if the pitch offers a bit of assistance.
Rohit Sharma - There is something about Rohit Sharma and Bangladesh. He ends up scoring a ton of runs against them and that may be the case in this match as well.
Taskin Ahmed - Bangladesh's best bowler by far, Taskin can be very expensive or pick up wickets regularly. In his current form, we think it is worth the risk of picking him in your Dream11 lineups.
