T20 World Cup 2022: India vs Bangladesh; Toss & Playing XI Updates; Shakib Al Hasan elects to field first

Adelaide, Nov 2: Bangladesh captain Shakib al Hasan won the toss and elected to field against India in match number 35 of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2022 here at Adelaide Oval on Wednesday (November 2).

Both the teams need a win here to remain alive in the ongoing tournament and qualify for the semi-finals. India are coming into the match on the back of a defeat while Bangladesh won the game against Zimbabwe by a small three run margin.

After coin landed in his favour, Shakib said, "We will bowl first. There is rain predicted. We don't know what is a good score on this wicket. Big game. We are well prepared today. Boys are gelling well. We have been playing with this side for some time. We need to continue doing the good things. We can continue working on our batting. One change. Sarkar is not playing. Shoriful Islam comes in."

Rohit, however, said that they were looking to bat first anyway. "We would have batted first. Runs on the board would matter. We would look to bat well. All games are important in this format. We didn't play well in the last game. Hopefully, we can play some good cricket and get those two points. Good ground and good atmosphere here. Good weather as well. We have one change. Axar is in for Hooda," said Rohit.
