India have won the game by 50 runs and are almost through to the semi-finals. The reach to 4 points and their net run rate is +2.425 now.

Another one goes down and Bangladesh are having a poor end to this game. Rishad Hossain, who had been striking sixes brilliantly so far, has been outplayed by Jasprit Bumrah. Mere formality remains in this game.

This match might be over for Bangladesh but Rishad Hossain is having some good time out there at the middle. He hit Arshdeep Singh for a biggie in the previous over and now slams Axar Patel for a six in the 18th over.

Arshdeep Singh gets the wicket of Jaker Ali. The batter mistimed his shot and that fell into the hands of Virat Kohli at deep mid-wicket. Kohli was standing well inside the boundary line and it turned out to be a right decision. The field positioning was perfect and the bowling was also accodring to the plan. India got the reward. Bangladesh need 87 runs in 23 balls.

Jasprit Bumrah has got the wicket of Najmul Hossain Shanto. The set batters goes out for Bangladesh and they now stare at defeat. Shanto is gone for 40 off 32 balls. He edged the Jasprit Bumrah delivery that fell into the hands of Arshdeep Singh at third man. Bangladesh need 88 runs in 27 balls.

Bangladesh need 89 runs in 30 balls. The asking rate is 17.8 for them now. Indian bowlers have kept things tight from the start of the innings and that sees Bangladesh lagging behind by a fare margin. From this point, they need to do something extraordinary to win this game. 

Shakib Al Hasan is out! Another Bangladesh batter bites the dust and India are now completely boasting of their dominance. They need 99 runs in 39 balls.

11 runs came off the Ravindra Jadeja over. Bangladesh need 106 runs in 42 balls. The asking rate has gone to 15.14 for them now. This match is slipping out of their hands. Or has it slipped already?

A six from the bat of Najmul Hossain Shanto on the bowling of Ravindra Jadeja. It was a short ball from Jadeja bowled onto the stumps and Shanto pulled it away for a six over the deep mid-wicket. Bangladesh need 111 runs in 47 balls.

Towhid Hridoy is LBW out! Ravindra Jadeja catches the batter plumb in front of the stumps. Bangladesh need 121 runs in 53 balls. Asking rate is over 13 for Bangladesh.

Tanzid Hasan has been dismissed by Kuldeep Yadav. It was an appeal for an LBW and umpire raised his finger in approval. Tanzid decided to go upstairs but the lost the review for Bangladesh in the process as the ball was found to be hitting the leg stump. Bangladesh need 131 runs in 62 balls.

A slower ball from Hardik Pandya on the pads of Najmul Hossain Shanto and the Bangladesh captain hits it over the deep fine leg fielder for a six. Hardik follows it with a dot ball but a total of 14 runs came off the over. Bangladesh need 133 runs in 66 balls.

BAN 64/1 (9)

Four runs came off Jasprit Bumrah's second over. Bangladesh could have taken a bit more risk in the powerplay. Their scoring rate in the phase was only 7 as India bowled really well. Bangladesh need 155 runs in 84 balls. The asking rate has gone to 11.07 for them.

Hardik Pandya provides the first breakthrough! This is smart bowling from the Indian all-rounder. He saw Litton Das walking across the stumps so bowled a slower ball outside off stump. Litton's desperate attempt to play the ball on the leg side saw him pulling the ball towards deep mid-wicket where Suryakumar Yadav took a really good catch.

BAN 35/1 (4.3)

Litton Das sweeps it and sweeps it fine for a four on the leg side. There was a fielder stationed there inside the ring but the ball escaped him and ran away for a four through the backward square leg. This is a decent start for Bangladesh so far, but they need a bit of acceleration as the asking rate is 10.62 now.

Tanzid Hasan dances down the track and pierces the gap on the off side. He drove the ball away for a four, missing Ravindra Jadeja's left hand at point by a very very close margin. Bangladesh openers need to take slight risks like this as the asking rate is over 10. A wicket seems round the corner for India. 

BAN 11/0 (2.1)

Tanzid Hasan got an inside edge on the final ball of Arshdeep Singh's over. Rishabh Pant put a good dive to his left to stop a potential boundary. Five runs came off the first over for Bangladesh.

BAN 5/0 (1)

Litton Das is on the strike, Tanzid Hasan is at the other end. Arshdeep Singh has the new ball in hand. Here we go...

Hardik Pandya ends the Indian innings with a four towards third man fence. With the boundary, he also gets to his half-century in only 27 balls. Such a crucial knock this is as India have posted 196 runs on the board. 18 runs came off the last over bowled by Mustafizur Rahman, who finished with figures of 0 for 48.

Despite being hit for a six on the fourth ball of the over, Tanzim Hasan Sakib managed to bowl an economical one. He conceded only 8 runs in it. The right-arm pacer finished his quota with figures of 2 for 32 in four overs.

IND 178/5 (19)

In the slot from Rishad Hossain and Hardik Pandya slammed it away for a big six down the ground. This was a powerful shot from a vintage Hardik Pandya. Rishad makes a good comeback as he missed the outside edge of Hardik. 15 runs came off the over. 

IND 170/5 (18)

Shivam Dube has been cleaned up by Rishad Hossain. He hit a six on the previuos delivery and loses his wicket now. Rishad ends up having the last laught. Dube missed the ball and it rattled his stumps. 

Shivam Dube hit a massive six down the ground to Tanzim Hasan Sakib on the fourth ball of the over. He is connecting the ball better now. A total of 9 runs came off the Tanzim Hasan Sakib over.

IND 155/4 (17)

India are back in control of the game as the duo of Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube have put their feet on the accelerator.

Shivam Dube jumps out of his crease and finally connects one from the middle of his bat. The ball goes for an 85-metre six. This is the first six from the bat of Dube. 

IND 143/4 (15.3)

A short ball from Mahedi Hasan outside off stump and Hardik Pandya smashed it away for an 84-metre six. Hasan bowls wider this time. It is a short of length ball but extra room sees Hardik slamming it for a four through extra cover. India's scoring rate is 9 now.

IND 132/4 (14.4)

This is a really good comeback from Mustafizur Rahman. After conceding 25 runs in his first two overs, he has bowled a five-run over. Bangladesh have kept themselves fighting in this game with wickets at regular intervals. 

IND 120/4 (14)

Rishabh Pant is gone! He has played a reverse sweep on the hands of the player at short third man. India are four down and Bangladesh are celebrating the wicket with full enthusiasm. Pant departs after scoring 36 runs off 24 balls. Pant gives a bizarre reaction while walking towards the dugout.

IND 108/4 (11.4)

Rishabh Pant jumped out of his crease and slammed the Rishad Hossain delivery over the long-on for a six. That also sees India cross the 100-run mark. 

A slower ball from Mustafizur Rahman and Rishabh Pant has slammed it away for a biggie. That goes over the deep mid-wicket. 

India were off to a dominating start but Bangladesh have managed to pull things back. The duo of Rishabh Pant and Shivam Dube need to stitch a solid partnership to put India back in command. The match hangs in the balance at this moment.

Tanzim Hasan Sakib is on fire. He was hit for a six on the second ball by Suryakumar Yadav but gets his wicket on the very next ball. This over has brought Bangladesh back in the game. It was a back of length ball outside off and SKY edged it to the wicketkeeper Litton Das.

Virat Kohli is out! That is smart bowling from Tanzim Hasan Sakib. He came up with a slower ball and Kohli was not expecting it. He missed his shot and the ball rattled his stumps. Kohli departs for 37 runs off 28 balls. Tanzim gives a fiery send-off to Kohli.

Rishabh Pant jumps out of his crease and slams that away for a four towards deep square leg. It didn't come from the middle of the bat but there was no fielder in the deep and Pant gets a boundary. 

That is a flighted delivery from Rishad Hossain and Virat Kohli accepts the offering. He has slammed it over the bowler's head for a six. It's straight as an arrow. This is a vintage Kohli that eveveryone is getting to see.

Only three runs came off Mahedi Hasan's third over. He has failed to take any wicket so far but has remained economical. Mahedi has conceded only 14 runs in his three overs so far. India are still in control of the game, though their scoring rate has decresed a bit.

Fuller ball onto the stumps and Virat Kohli has smashed it away for a six over deep mid-wicket. Sensational shot this is from the India star. He is looking in great touch. Kohli takes a single next to retain strike. 11 runs came off the Mustafizur Rahman over.

IND 53/1 (6)

Rohit Sharma is gone! Shakib Al Hasan has trapped him. The ball spun away from Rohit, who wanted to slog it on the leg side. The ball took the edge of his bat and flew high in the air before Jaker Ali took the catch. Rohit departs for 23 off 11 balls. That is also the 50th T20 World Cup wicket for Shakib and with it, he becomes the first bowler to do so. 

IND 39/1 (3.4)

Flight on offer and Rohit Sharma jumps out of his crease and hits it over the mid-on for a biggie. It went for 97 metres. The Indian openers are looking in great tough in this game.

15 runs came off the Shakib Al Hasan over. It seems Bangladesh's plan of going with spin in the first two overs has backfired. Both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are scoring boundaries at will. There comes pace attack into the game. Right-arm fast bowler Tanzim will bowl the third over of the innings. 

Virat Kohli joins the party! It was a fuller ball onto the stumps from Shakib and Virat Kohli wasted no time. He cleared his front leg and smashed the ball over the deep mid-wicket for a biggie.

Shakib Al Hasan bowls it on the pads of Rohit Sharma and the Indian captain sweeps it away for a four through square leg. This is poor bowling from Shakib as the breeze is towards the same direction in which he bowled it.

IND 13/0 (1.2)

It is a decent first over from Mahedi Hasan. A boundary came on the final ball of the over as Rohit Sharma got one through the fine leg region.

Virat Kohli needs 80 runs to surpass Babar Azam and become the leading run-scorer in T20I cricket. Meanwhile, the match between India and Bangladesh kicks off in Antigua. Rohit Sharma starts with a double off Mahedi Hasan. Virat Kohli is at the other end. 

Players of both the sides are out on the ground for their respective national anthems. Bangladesh start it and that of India will follow. We are around 5 minutes away from the start of the game.

India: Rohit Sharma(c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah

Bangladesh: Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das(w), Najmul Hossain Shanto(c), Towhid Hridoy, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, Jaker Ali, Rishad Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Mustafizur Rahman

"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," said India captain Rohit Sharma after the toss.

"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," said Bangladesh captain Shanto after the toss.

Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto has won the toss and opted to bowl first against India in their T20 World Cup Super 8 match in Antigua. India are unchanged while Bangladesh have dropped Taskin Ahmed.

Bangladesh batters need to find a way to tackle Jasprit Bumrah, who has been sensational thus far, taking eight wickets at an unparalleled economy rate of 3.46 runs per over. What makes Bumrah special is the fact that his performance in not dependent on the surface.

Bangladesh, who have struggled with their batting throughout the tournament, find themselves in a must win situation after the loss to Australia. The lack of power-hitters is hurting them and there is no quick fix to that problem.

On the bowling front, India are expected to retain the combination having given the first opportunity of the tournament to crafty left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav. The wickets in the Caribbean have provided enough help for the spinners, prompting India to play three at the Kensington Oval. The combination is likely to continue here with Kuldeep retaining his place at the expense of Mohammed Siraj.

The biggest positive in the batting department in the Afghanistan game was Hardik Pandya's cameo. The all-rounder is known for his brutal hitting and that was on display on Thursday. During the match, Hardik scored 32 runs off 24 balls.

Another under-pressure team member is left-hander Shivam Dube, who was picked in the World Cup squad to hammer sixes in the middle and death overs. However, the IPL form that helped him seal a World Cup berth has deserted him and he is yet to come to the party. The southpaw did make an unbeaten 31 against the USA in a group league game but it was Suryakumar Yadav's effort that made the difference ultimately. Another failure might force the team management to consider Sanju Samson in the middle order.

India must be hoping for an improved performance from the opening pair of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, both of whom have got starts but have not been able to turn them into defining knocks. They have made a conscious effort to force the pace but have ended with minimal returns.

AccuWeather predicted the cloud cover to be 41 % in the day while the chance of rainfall is 40 per cent.

10:00 AM (7:30 PM IST) - 46 % chance of rain

11:00 AM (8:30 PM IST) - 51 % chance of rain

12:00 PM (9:30 PM IST) - 47 % chance of rain

At the ongoing World Cup though, there is no doubt that India are as mighty a cricketing power to be a serious title contender. The Men in Blue produced a professional performance against Afghanistan in their opening Super Eights match. With only a travel day separating their remaining two games, they would be hoping that the players, who have not performed as per expectations so far, deliver the goods.

The overall head-to-head record is overwhelmingly in India's favour but Bangladesh have been known to be plucky and Rohit Sharma and his men would be wary of that. The two South Asian neighbours have also been locked in some off-field drama in the past with Bangladesh often expressing its misgivings with India's financial might in the sport.

"The next two matches are important. There is a lot to gain from them. If we can win them, we will be in a better condition. We will play to win every match," Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto said at the post-match press conference after the side's recent loss to Australia.

The ever-present tension of their over a decade-long big-stage rivalry would make for an engrossing sub-plot when an undefeated India take on a faltering Bangladesh, both teams desperately hoping for their batting stars to strike form in the Super Eights clash of the T20 World Cup in Antigua on Saturday.

India: Rohit Sharma (captain), Hardik Pandya, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj

Bangladesh: Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto (captain), Shakib Al Hasan, Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Mustafizur Rahman, Jaker Ali, Tanvir Islam, Shoriful Islam, Soumya Sarkar
