Only a few hours are left for the start of the T20 World Cup 2024. Before this, on June 1, the teams of India and Bangladesh will face each other in a practice match at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. With this practice match, both the teams will try to get accustomed to the conditions.
Let us tell you that the Indian team reached America on 26 May and before this practice match, the Men in Blue also practiced a lot. The players took part in different practice sessions. At the same time, all the members of the Indian team except star batsman Virat Kohli have reached USA. Kohli will join the team very soon, but his playing in the match is still under question.
On the other hand, Bangladesh’s first practice match against USA was washed out due to rain. And before that, it had to face a crushing defeat in the three-match T20 series. For the first time in cricket history, USA defeated a full member team in a T20 series. Bangladesh lost the series 1-2.
Talking about the rivalry between India and Bangladesh, some interesting matches have been seen between the two teams. The most memorable is the 2016 T20 World Cup match, where India defeated Bangladesh by one run in a thrilling match. So an exciting match can be expected.
It is worth noting that India has always had the upper hand against Bangladesh. Out of the 13 T-20 matches played between the two teams, India has defeated Bangladesh on 12 occasions.
