Bangladesh field first in Bangalore

Bangalore - Bangladesh won the toss and elected to field in their World Twenty20 clash against India at the Chinnaswamy stadium in Bangalore on Wednesday.

Bangladesh have brought back star batsman Tamim Iqbal who was sick for his team's loss to Australia on Monday.

Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni said there were no changes to the team that beat Pakistan on Saturday.

India are precariously placed in fourth spot of Group Two after one defeat and one win and need an emphatic victory to boost their run rate as they bid for a semi-finals berth.

Bangladesh, languishing on the bottom of the group, are desperate for a win after two straight losses.

Teams:

India

MS Dhoni (capt/wk), Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ashish Nehra, Jasprit Bumrah

Bangladesh

Mashrafe Mortaza (capt), Tamim Iqbal, Mohammad Mithun, Sabbir Rahman, Shakib Al Hasan, Soumya Sarkar, Mahmudullah, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Shuvagata Hom, Al-Amin Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
