Team India are all set for a crunch encounter against Bangladesh as they take on their Asian counterparts at the Adelaide Oval. The clash will have huge significance as India’s semifinal quest will take a decisive turn with Zimbabwe also in the hunt for a place in the final four. Zimbabwe will face the Netherlands at the same venue in the early match. The weather is still going to be a decisive factor in both contests as it is his hide-and-seek game now from the rain gods.
Can India bounce back?
India will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing loss to South Africa when they take on Bangladesh in their Super 12 encounter of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in Adelaide on Wednesday.
Rohit Sharma's men got off to an excellent start, beating Pakistan and Netherlands in their first two matches. But they were outplayed in their last match against South Africa, despite Suryakumar Yadav's best efforts to rescue them with a very special knock.
The top-order collapsed in a similar way as it did against Pakistan. While Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya rescued them and helped India win that match, Yadav didn't find any support from the other end this time to get them to a competitive total.
