India are all set to lock horns against Bangladesh in their only warm-up match ahead of the main round of the T20 World Cup 2024. The Indian team is training in New York before hitting the ground running and beginning their quest for the World Cup title.
Bangladesh were scheduled to play two warm-up games before the tournament but their opening practice match against the USA was abandoned due to bad weather, which makes their clash against India their only warm-up fixture.
While India have not played a T20I since their January series against Afghanistan, the Bangla Tigers took on co-hosts USA in a three-match series a week ago and went down to the minnows 1-2. They would hope they bounce back sooner than later and would need their players to stand up right from the practice game.
