Rohit Sharma: I would have fielded first
Najmul Hossain Shanto: We would like to bat first. Looks a good wicket so we want to put runs on the board. We have play good cricket today and the boys are confident. Three spinners, two spinners for us.
Bangladesh have won the toss and have opted to bat
Pitch Report | Mel Jones and Nasser Hussain: It's reasonably cool - mid 20s. Very still, not a flag is moving. Dimensions - 82 metres down the ground, square boundaries - there's a 12m difference (62m and 74m). It is very bare. It's the first game of the tournament, so it's a fresh pitch. Because of the Women's T20 World Cup and the ILT20, it can look like a tired square. But this one looks fine. It's not used, mosaic little cracks. It might get a bit tired and a bit dry towards the end. Speaking to the groundsman, he says they've had no dew this year. Win the toss and bat.
Can Bangladesh surprise India today? Sure they have done it in the past. It is a side that is not shy of different options, all-rounders. They do have aggressors but can they do the dirty work and build ominous bases? The express Nahid Rana could be a potential weapon against the Indian batting line-up. They do have a potent pace and spin attack that can pose serious threats to any team on their day
