T20 World Cup: India look to boost semi-final hopes with win over Bangladesh

India will look to bounce back from their loss to South Africa and improve their chances of reaching the semi-finals when they face Bangladesh in a crucial Super 12 match at the T20 World Cup 2022 in Adelaide on Wednesday, November 2. Notably, India defeated Pakistan and the Netherlands before succumbing to a five-wicket loss to South Africa, who leads Group 2 with five points.

It's worth noting that both India and Bangladesh sit level in the second spot with four points in Group 2, both with two wins and a defeat. India hold the edge



on net run rate and have arguably the easier run to the semi-finals, though Bangladesh have a T20I win over their neighbours as recently as 2019 in Delhi. India have to win both their matches against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe to be sure of qualification in the final four of the ICC tournament.

In the shortest format of the game, India have a better head-to-head record against Bangladesh, having won 10 of their previous 11 T20Is. However, in previous pressure situations, Bangladesh have proven to be a difficult opponent for the Men in Blue.
