India got its first taste of defeat when it lost its match against England. Once again, the middle order did not fire and failed at a crucial moment. Worse, Vijay Shankar has been declared unfit due to a toe injury and is to be replaced.

Bangladesh will play according to pitch condition

On the other hand, the Bangladesh team bowling Coach Courtney Walsh has said that the team will play and devise a strategy according to the pitch conditions.

He added that Bangladesh would decide according to pitch conditions, whether to bring in the spin bowlers early. However, the initial overs will be the exclusive domain of fast bowlers.

Bumrah will be the key bowler

Bangladesh has always been the Achilles heel for the Indian team and in past World Cup has been instrumental in preventing India reach the final four.

Therefore Kohli and his men must not take the Tigers lightly. Kohli will continue in his sheet anchor role and has been scoring prolifically in most matches in this World Cup. However, the trump card for the Indian team is Jasprit Bumrah and his ability to bowl yorkers at will. If he can give early breakthroughs, it will put the Bangladeshi middle order under strain.
