Heading: India vs Bangladesh Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024: IND 196/5 (20 overs) vs BAN at Antigua

The highly anticipated match between India and Bangladesh in the T20 World Cup 2024 has kicked off with a bang. Bangladesh’s Najmul Shanto won the toss and chose to bowl first against Rohit Sharma’s India at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua.

India put up a strong total of 196/5 on the board, thanks to a brilliant half-century from Hardik Pandya and valuable contributions from Shivam Dube, Rishabh Pant, and Virat Kohli. Despite struggling to get good starts in the tournament, both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli made efforts to accelerate the scoring but fell short. Shivam Dube, under pressure to perform, showcased his power-hitting abilities in the middle and death overs.

On the bowling front, India is expected to stick with their spin-heavy combination, with Kuldeep Yadav likely to retain his place over Mohammed Siraj. The pitch in the Caribbean has been supportive of spinners, prompting India to play three spinners in their lineup.

As the match progresses, fans can follow the live score and updates to see if Bangladesh can chase down the target set by India. Stay tuned for more exciting action in this crucial T20 World Cup encounter.
