Rain Threat Looms Over -Bangladesh T20 Clash The conditions in Antigua are threatening to disrupt what promises to be an exciting Super Eight encounter between India and Bangladesh at the ongoing ICC Men's T20 Cup 2024. Scattered thunderstorms are forecast for the afternoon when the match is scheduled to take place at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound. According to weather reports, there is a chance of rain both in the morning and afternoon on Saturday.
If precipitation does disrupt play, it would be a big disappointment for fans who have been eagerly awaiting this contest between two subcontinental giants. With no reserve day in place for the Super Eight stage, an abandoned match would see both sides taking home one point each from the fixture. India kicked off their Super Eights campaign in impressive fashion, securing a comfortable victory over Afghanistan.
However, Bangladesh are no pushovers and have troubled India in the past with their never-say-die attitude. Rohit Sharma and his men will be wary of underestimating the Tigers on Saturday. Both teams have named strong lineups.
While India are expected to back their in-form top order of Rohit, Kohli and Pant, Bangladesh will rely on the experience of Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah to navigate them through potentially tricky conditions. Pacers from either side could play a vital role if the surface aids swing and seam movement. Fans will be keeping their fingers crossed, hoping the rain gods spare this keenl.
