India take on Bangladesh as Najmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and decided to bowl first in their T20 World Cup Super 8 clash at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua on June 22. Talking about the playing XIs of both the sides, India kept their final eleven unchanged while Bangladesh kept Taskin out of their fold for the crucial Super 8 clash. India are heading into the match on a triumphant note as Rohit's brigade defeated Afghanistan in their first Super 8 clash, while Bangladesh suffered defeat against Australia.
What did the captains say?
India captain Rohit Sharma, after losing the toss said:
“We wanted to bat and that's what we got. Looks like a good wicket and depends on how much the sun is beating down and making the pitch slow. Important to assess the conditions quickly. We are playing the same team. Important to stay in the present and not worry about other things.”
Meanwhile, Bangladesh skipper Najmul, after winning the toss said:
“We would like to bowl first, we would like to restrict them to a small total and that is the plan. We know the conditions here and also about the wind factor. Looks a good wicket. 150-160 will be a good score I reckon. We have one change. Taskin is not playing.”
