India vs Bangladesh, T20 World Cup 2016: MS Dhoni wants India to improve run rate

India vs Bangladesh, India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni urged his big-hitters to improve their run rate dramatically against Bangladesh on Wednesday or face the prospect of a humiliating early exit from the World Twenty20 on home soil.

India vs Bangladesh, The hosts are precariously placed in fourth spot of Group Two after one defeat and one win. They desperately need a big victory to strengthen their bid for a semi-finals berth. India’s six-wicket victory over arch-rivals Pakistan on Saturday will have boosted their confidence after a shock 47-run defeat to New Zealand in their opening group match. But Dhoni said India, who were firm favourites at the start of the tournament to lift a second World T20 title, needed to improve to qualify from a tough group that also includes Australia. “I still feel there is still scope for improvement and in the coming two games that will be our priority,” said the captain.

India vs Bangladesh, New Zealand top the group on four points after two wins while Pakistan, Australia and India all have two points. However India’s run rate, which could determine who qualifies, is considerably worse than their rivals. “In the first game our run rate went down. So it’s not only about winning but you have to take care of the run-rate at some point,” added Dhoni.

The hosts are seeking to become the first country to win the World T20 title twice, after clinching the crown in 2007, and also the first to win at home.  Bangladesh, by comparison, will be desperate for a win after two straight losses, the latest to Australia by three wickets on Monday.

Sitting at the bottom of Group Two after also losing to Pakistan, the Tigers have almost no chance of advancing to the semi-finals, but skipper Mashrafe Mortaza vowed to battle on. “We will keep fighting. We still have two matches to fight hard,” he said.

The Tigers were left reeling after the ICC’s decision at the weekend to suspend their top bowlers Arafat Sunny and Taskin Ahmed for illegal actions, forcing them to rush in replacements from Bangladesh. There are also question marks over star batsman Tamim Iqbal who is unwell and did not play against Australia.

India vs Bangladesh, Squads:

India: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (c&wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Shikhar Dhawan, Harbhajan Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, Virat Kohli, Mohammed Shami, Pawan Negi, Ashish Nehra, Hardik Pandya, Ajinkya Rahane, Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj Singh.

Bangladesh: Mashrafe Mortaza (c), Shakib Al Hasan, Abu Hider, Al-Amin Hossain, Mahmudullah, Mohammad Mithun, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mustafizur Rahman, Nasir Hossain, Nurul Hasan (wk), Sabbir Rahman, Soumya Sarkar, Tamim Iqbal, Shuvagata Hom, Saqlain Sajib

New Zealand vs Pakistan, Overview

Table toppers New Zealand will look to continue their fine form in the ICC T20 World Cup 2016 when they take on Pakistan in a Group 2 encounter at Chandigarh on 22 March, Tuesday.

New Zealand vs Pakistan, The only unbeaten team in Group 2, the Black Caps have surprised everyone with their tactical innovations and impressive cricket. Skipper Kane Williamson has taken a leaf out of Brendon McCullum’s book, promoting aggressive cricket while also trying to out-think opponents on the field.

No team would leave out its two best bowlers for an important international tournament such as this, but the Kiwis have had no hesitation in dropping Trent Boult and Tim Southee to the bench, while promoting spinners in their place.

The batsmen and bowlers have looked good with the bowling in particular stocked with options. One example is Mitchell McClenaghan’s man of the match performance in the last game. It is tough to predict the starting XI for this Kiwi side as they chop and change depending on the conditions, but may opt to bring back Nathan McCullum in place of pacer Adam Milne.

It has been a familiar story for their opponents Pakistan, who remain unpredictable. The men in green look unbeatable one day and poor the next, with no one knowing which Pakistan will turn up on a given day.

Their six-wicket loss to arch-rivals India on 19 March, Sunday was their 11^th loss to them in ICC World Cup tournaments. In fact, they are yet to beat India in a World Cup game.

Their batting, except the game against Bangladesh, has struggled. This is a problem that has persisted for a long time. There has been a lot of criticism of the team management and coach Waqar Younis over Pakistan’s declining batting standards. As usual they depend on their bowlers to win them games. However, as their loss to India showed, no matter how good the attack of Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Sami, Wahab Riaz and Shahid Afridi look, they still need their batsman to put up runs on the board.

Skipper Shahid Afridi is under a lot of pressure both from within and outside cricketing circles and he will come out on the field knowing it is a must-win game for his side.
