T20 World Cup 2024: India Arrive in Antigua for Super 8 Clash Against Bangladesh | WATCH

The Indian men’s cricket team arrived in Antigua’s North Sound for their Super Eight clash of the T20 World Cup against Bangladesh at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium on Saturday.

Rohit Sharma and Co. had produced a professional performance against Afghanistan in their opening Super Eights match at Bridgetown’s Kensington Oval on Thursday and had to travel from Barbados without a rest day.

In a video posted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on their social handles, the Indian cricket team were seen on their journey.

The overall head-to-head record is overwhelmingly in India’s favour but Bangladesh have been known to be plucky and Rohit Sharma and his men would be wary of that. The two South Asian neighbours have also been locked in some off-field drama in the past with Bangladesh often expressing its misgivings with India’s financial might in the sport.

At the ongoing World Cup though, there is no doubt that India are as mighty a cricketing power to be a serious title contender.

With only a travel day separating their remaining two games, they would be hoping that the players, who have not performed as per expectations so far, deliver the goods.

Bangladesh, who have struggled with their batting throughout the tournament, find themselves in a must-win situation after their loss to Australia.

But India batting coach Vikram Rathour said India will not leave anything to chance against their neighbours.

“They’re a good unit. They have a lot of guys who can spin the ball and they are good in certain conditions. And these conditions do suit them a little as a team I think because the wickets seem to have a bit of help for the spinners and they do have spinners in their team. But again, in this format I think every team is a tough team. I don’t believe any contest in T20 cricket is an easy contest,” he said.
