Pitch Report
Captains
The Indian star has been in good nick with the bat in the last few games of the IPL and was one of the star performers for Rajasthan Royals. Yashasvi Jaiswal will want to get into the scheme of things quickly and hope to continue scoring runs.
Bangladeshi left-arm seamer has been enjoying a purple patch with the ball and his six wicket haul against USA in the last game helped his team save some blushes. With his amazing form Mustafizur Rahman will hope to dent the morale of the Indian batters on Saturday.
Top
Indian pace ace Jasprit Bumrah will shoulder the responsibility of the bowling as he had done during the IPL 2024 season for Mumbai Indians. The 30-year-old is in good form and he will want to translate it into wicket-taking form for the men in blue.
It is a key campaign for Nazmul Shanto as the Bangladeshi skipper has been tasked with the job of leading the side to glory. With the huge series reversal to USA the pressure is on the Bangladeshi skipper to come good with the bat and lead his team well.
Budget
It is an exciting time for Rishabh Pant as he makes his return to the Indian team after missing 16 months of cricketing action. The warm up game will help Pant ease his nerves as he looks to hit the stride in international cricket.
Young Bangladeshi batter has been in decent nick with the bat and will be one of the key players in the middle order during the T20 World Cup 2024.
