Hello and welcome to the live updates of the crucial encounter between India and Bangladesh at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday (March 23). Remember, neither are Bangladesh out of hopes of qualifying for the semi-final, nor will a defeat for India will result in their elimination from the tournament. So, the contest remains significant as far as the qualification hopes of both the sides are concerned.

Remember, India are the tournament favourites. Even as Bangladesh are a far-improved side over the last one year. However, they are without the services of Rubel Hossain, Taskin Ahmed and Arafat Sunny. There is no news on Tamim Iqbal as well, who was unwell during the last match.

Bangladesh have never beaten India in a T20 International. Even in the recently-concluded Asia Cup, India managed to seal two easy wins against their neighbours.

Mashrafe Mortaza wins the toss and he has opted to bowl first. Tamim Iqbal is back for Bangladesh but India are fielding an unchanged XI.

Teams:

India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni(w/c), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ashish Nehra, Jasprit Bumrah

Bangladesh (Playing XI): Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Mohammad Mithun, Sabbir Rahman, Shakib Al Hasan, Shuvagata Hom, Mahmudullah, Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Mashrafe Mortaza(c), Al-Amin Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman
