LIVE Score Updates: India vs Bangladesh, ICC T20 World Cup 2016: Where to watch live, Ball by Ball Commentary, Live Streaming Info, Preview and Prediction
The Group 2 encounter between India and Bangladesh is a very important match for both teams if they want to secure a semifinal berth in the competition.
After losing against New Zealand in the first match of the tournament, India bounced back superbly by winning the second game against arch-rivals Pakistan at the Eden Gardens. While the bowling is doing a superb job, the Indian top-order is not delivering a good performance.
On the other hand, Bangladesh have lost both their matches and are at the bottom of Group 2. With another loss, they will surely be knocked out of the tournament. The Tigers need to show some resistance and have to improve in all the departments. They were poor in the field against Australia, something which potentially cost them the match and 2 points.
The Indian’s are confident after their last match but they have to be aware of Bangladesh, who are known as giant killers in the cricketing world.

Team News
Indian Team
Since Mahendra Singh Dhoni does not like to make sweeping changes whatever the situation, the Indians could even go in unchanged. The Bangalore track will be much more batting friendly than the one in Kolkata and the Indian batting line-up will get the chance to get some form back in the match.
Bangladesh Team
Bangladesh might have to change their batting line-up as their star opener Tamim Iqbal is unwell. They have also endured a setback in the form of pacer Taskin Ahmed, who was earlier banned by ICC following illegal bowling action.

India Squad
Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni (C) (WK), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Ashish Nehra
