What they said:

"We've always had depth as a team, I believe. But yeah, these conditions maybe suit us more because we can afford to play two or three spinners at times. So that I believe can be our best team. That is our strength. That has been our strength. So yeah, it feels like because somebody like Axar [Patel] playing at eight gives you a lot of confidence because he can bat and he's bowling really well at the moment. So, it does give you a lot of options" - Vikram Rathour, India batting coach, on the abundance of allrounders in the team.

"It is difficult to say why we are not able to play. I think everyone has the capability, people have played well in different places in the past. But I do not have an answer to why this is not happening. Everyone has the freedom to play their natural game and they will try to play as they want, but somehow it is not happening." - Najmul Hossain Shanto, on Bangladesh's top-order failure in this World Cup.

What Happens If There is a Washout?

What happens if the 2024 T20 World Cup Super 8 clash between India and Bangladesh is washed out at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua? Both teams will share 1 point each as the Super Eight Group 1 game does not have a reserve day and will not be replayed.

Partly Cloudy Currently

The current weather in Antigua – 1:00 AM – is partly cloudy, but it is expected to be the same around match time. 

Pitch Prediction

The pitch at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua’s North Sound has been helping the pacers in the two Super 8 games so far at the ground. But it has been spin to win so far in the West Indies leg of the T20 World Cup. it will be intersting to see what unfolds on Saturday.

As per reports, the conditions in Antigua will most likely be cloudy and humid but as of now rain may not interrupt proceedings. There’s just a seven per cent chance of precipitation.

Probable Best Batter: Virat Kohli

The Indian icon has not been in optimal form and will undoubtedly wish to swiftly put his group-stage performance behind him, having scored merely 33 runs across four innings. Given Virat Kohli's lofty ambitions and remarkable mental fortitude to seize control of high-profile games, he could be anticipated to be India's hero in their upcoming match of the Super 8s. 

Probable Best Bowler: Jasprit Bumrah

Fiery Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah is in exceptional form in this World Cup, having taken eight wickets in four matches at an impressive average of just 6.50. His performance so far has been outstanding, and we expect him to continue his wicket-taking spree. With his current confidence and skill, Bumrah is well on his way to becoming the highest wicket-taker of this T20 World Cup.

Wish we had more closed stadium and these imp WC matches happen there 

Is there a chance for  rain during Eng and USA match?

09:15 local, 13:15 GMT, 18:45 IST: We are just a week away from the World Cup final. Just 6 fixtures remain in the Super 8 stage. Hello and a warm welcome. We have officially entered that phase of the tournament.

Hello and a warm welcome. It's India v Bangladesh in a crucial Super 8 fixture in Antigua. What began as a sibling rivalry over the years has now turned into a mouth-watering clash that stokes fan-sentiment from both sides. Occasionally, a lot of that has spilled over onto the field, and we've seen numerous instances. Like the Rohit reprieve in the 2015 World Cup, Bangalore 2016, Nidahas final. Or maybe even Fizz v Dhoni.
