India is set to face Bangladesh in a warm-up match ahead of their ICC T20 World Cup 2024 campaign. The India vs. Bangladesh clash will take place on Saturday, June 1.
Rohit Sharma leads India in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, with a formidable squad featuring top batters such as Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, and Sanju Samson.
In the bowling department, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj will spearhead the attack, supported by fellow pacer Arshdeep Singh. The “Kulcha” duo, Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal, return to a World Cup squad together for the first time since the 2019 ODI World Cup.
Bangladesh will be captained by Najmul Hossain Shanto, who has recently demonstrated excellent batting form.
Key players in the Bangladesh squad include Soumya Sarkar, Towhid Hridoy, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahaman, and Litton Das.
Weather Report:
The IND vs BAN match will be held in New York City, USA, on Saturday, June 1. On that day, New York’s temperature is expected to be 28°C during the day and 17°C at night. The sky will be generally clear during the day and partly cloudy at night. The chance of rain is 1% in the morning and rises to 4% at night. The humidity will range from 36% to 54%.
Pitch Report:
The showdown between India and Bangladesh unfolds at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, a fresh addition to New York’s sporting landscape. What’s intriguing is that this venue, though brand new, has yet to witness any cricketing action.
Curiously, the foundation of its pitches draws from the famed Adelaide Stadium in Australia. Situated in close proximity to the sea, akin to its Australian counterpart, it promises similar pitch dynamics. Anticipate a lively, run-friendly surface reminiscent of Adelaide’s renowned bounciness.
Adding to the uncertainty, the stadium hasn’t hosted any warm-up matches for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Consequently, it’s a challenge to forecast the pitch’s behavior. Nonetheless, batsmen are likely to relish the bounce and evenness of the pitch, while the early advantage may lie with the pacers, gradually favoring spinners as the match progresses.
Weather Impact:
The highly anticipated India vs Bangladesh match is scheduled for 8 PM on Saturday, June 1. Fortunately, the weather forecast brings good news for cricket fans, with just a minimal 4% chance of rain during that time. With such a low probability of precipitation, it’s safe to say that the match will proceed as planned without any interference from the weather. Therefore, spectators can rest assured that the outcome of the India vs Bangladesh warm-up match will be solely determined by the players’ skills and strategies, unaffected by any atmospheric conditions.
