As the T20I World Cup 2024 gets underway from June 1, India and Bangladesh are gearing up to clash in their lone warm-up match, scheduled to be held on Saturday at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York. This solitary preparatory encounter will hold a lot of significance before both teams embark on their official World Cup campaign.

This will provide the opportunity for both teams to fine-tune their preparations and strategies ahead of the official start. This is for the first time that any World Cup match is being played in US and their warm-up match will offer insights into the conditions they might face during the World Cup.

India, who are being led by Rohit Sharma, appear to have overcome from their disappointing defeat in the final of the ODI World Cup 2023. India appear to be more confident than ever as they start their journey towards glory. The team's top order, featuring stars like Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli, will be crucial for setting a solid foundation. 

Meanwhile, their middle order and finishers, including players like Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja will be significant. India’s bowling attack, spearheaded by Jasprit Bumrah, sports the likes of Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammed Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav. They too will be looking to fine-tune their strategies against a formidable Bangladesh side.

Bangladesh, on the other side, boast a team filled with explosive batsmen and versatile all-rounders. Bangladesh will be led by Najmul Hossain Shanto, in the presence of veteran Shakib Al Hasan, who has featured in every World Cup. Bangladesh carry a relatively decisive squad, with their batting order including the likes of Litton Das, Soumya Sarkar and more. Their bowling attack features the likes of experienced Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam and Tanzim Hasan Shakib.
