Before Thursday’s Australia-Bangladesh game, Antigua had low scores in this T20 World Cup, with first innings averaging under 100. India’s batting coach mentioned even lower scores at New York’s Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, averaging 108. Despite different conditions, India remains focused on their game against Bangladesh on Saturday. Concerns include underperforming openers Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, with Kohli scoring only 28 runs in four games. Also, Shivam Dube’s performance under pressure is a worry, facing competition from Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal. A win would move India closer to the semifinals.
