India are unlikely to make many changes in the playing 11 of the side which defeated Pakistan by seven wickets in their last match in Ahmedabad on Saturday. It means Shardul Thakur will be picked ahead of Ravichandran Ashwin while Shubman Gill will be opening the batting with skipper Rohit Sharma. Ishan Kishan, Mohammed Shami and Suryakumar Yadav will be missing out from the lineup once again.


“See, honestly, it is never an easy decision. But I think the conversations are around, we had a clear chat with him (Mohammed Shami). Whenever we select a squad, the messages from us is very clear. That we pick a squad we feel is the best for that wicket. And I think sometimes you will miss out. Someone like him is missing out, someone like Ash (R Ashwin) will miss out. And I think that's the communication that we have with him, we are very clear,” Team India bowling coach Paras Mhambrey said.


Bangladesh, on the other hand, will be hoping that their skipper and talismanic all-rounder Shakib al Hasan will be fit enough to play in the match. Shakib’s all-rounder performance had set up his side’s nine-run win over India in the Asia Cup 2023 match last month.


The visitors may replace out of form opener Tanzid Hasan with all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz at the top of the order to partner Litton Das.
