India will look to ensure that they can overcome their batting woes of recent times. In the warm-up game against Australia, they had generally struggled as they did against South Africa as well. However, the issue that Bangladesh will face is that they had struggled only against genuine pace and Bangladesh are without any main fast bowlers.
What the hosts will need to do is to ensure that their spinners, which are of a decent quality control the top three of the batting order.
In turn, India will need to look at trying to post a big enough total in order to ensure that the Bangladeshi batsmen do not get anywhere close – they have been in a good form.
