Rohit and Samson are at the crease. Rohit is on strike. Mahedi Hasan will open the attack

The players are out in the middle. Sanju Samson is opening with Rohit Sharma, that's a surprise

Najmul Shanto - We would have bowled, we'll have to adjust the conditions and I want to know how the bowlers do. The boys have enjoyed themselves so far here, we are going to play with 13 players - Taskin and Mustafizur have been rested

Rohit Sharma - We will bat. Not for any particular reason, conditions here look a bit challenging. Virat has just arrived yesterday, he's going to miss out, the rest are all available and we'll see how to use them. We arrived quite early, so the body clock has adjusted, we just have to see how well we can adjust to these conditions.

Teams:

Bangladesh (Batting 11, Fielding 11): Litton Das, Soumya Sarkar, Najmul Hossain Shanto(c), Towhid Hridoy, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, Jaker Ali(w), Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam, Tanzid Hasan, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Tanvir Islam

India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant(w), Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal

India have won the toss and have opted to bat

180-190 is a par score here, it's a warm-up match and both teams will look for a good workout today, reckons Russel Arnold, in his pitch report

09:45 Local Time, 13:45 GMT, 19:15 IST: The 2024 T20 WC will start in less then 12 hours with the two North American neighbours clashing in the opening encounter at Dallas. But, we're here at the Nassau County International cricket stadium in New York for the last and the only televised warm-up game between India and Bangladesh. Today's match gives India an ideal opportunity to play in conditions where they're slated to feature in 3 league games, against Ireland, Pakistan and the United States respectively. The entire squad has played lots of T20 matches coming into the tournament, but it's been long since they featured as a group. India's 15-man squad selection was interesting and spin heavy. Rohit Sharma was confident about his choices, but there has been plenty of murmurs and dissent over the section / non-selection of a few. They've been in the country for a few days and have acclimatized to the conditions. The 2007 champions have been to the knockouts in 2014, 2016 and 2022, but the trophy has eluded them. This is a golden generation of cricketers and this tournament could be the last chance saloon of repeating the histrionics of 2007. On the other hand, Bangladesh's preparations hit a trough with the team succumbing to unfancied USA by a 2-1 margin. Their 1st warm-up game was called off due to adverse weather conditions and they do seem half baked. Can they make most of today's match and get into the tournament on a positive note?

Squads:

India Squad: Rohit Sharma(c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant(w), Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal

Bangladesh Squad: Litton Das, Soumya Sarkar, Najmul Hossain Shanto(c), Towhid Hridoy, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, Jaker Ali(w), Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam, Tanzid Hasan, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Tanvir Islam
