Team India eye win against Bangladesh to make a comeback
Date and Time : 8th March 2018, 7:00 PM IST
Venue : R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo
India lost to Sri Lanka on Tuesday in the first game of 2018 Nidahas Trophy and will be a little disappointed. But they will need to lift themselves up ahead of the crucial second game against Bangladesh.
India should be happy with their batting efforts in the first game as they posted a decent total. The only concerns that are their will be in the bowling department which was the reason for the loss.
On the other hand, Bangladesh will also be hoping for success when they take on neighbors India on Thursday. This will be their first game of the tournament and India will need to be careful of them.
Bangladesh are a better team nowadays then before and will be optimistic about their chances in this Nidahas Trophy.
So far India and Bangladesh have played each other five times in T20I’s and India have won all of those games.
Team news and possible line-ups
Bangladesh have named a strong squad for this tournament and will field their strongest eleven on Thursday.
As for India, they are likely going to stick with the same playing XI as in the first game.
Bangladesh XI : T. Iqbal, S. Sarkar, S. Rahman, M. Rahim (WK), M. Riyad (C), L. Das, N. Hasan, M. Hasan, T. Ahmed, M. Rahman, R. Hossain.
India XI : R. Sharma (C), S. Dhawan, Raina, M. Pandey, Pant, D. Karthik (WK), V. Shankar, W. Sundar, S. Thakur, Unadkat, Chahal.
Prediction
I expect India to win this game as they are the superior side.
