In their most recent game, the Indian squad lost to South Africa by a score of 5 wickets and is currently ranked second in the point’s standings. Suryakumar Yadav led the squad in scoring with 68 runs, but the other batters galloped off to an early lead. Virat Kohli's bat has contributed the most runs to the squad so far in this competition. KL Rahul, the team's starting opener, has been in really bad form, which is of concern to the Indian think tank and the team management. In three games, Rahul has only scored 22 runs, averaging 7.33.

Currently, batter Suryakumar Yadav is in the best shape of his life. The right-handed batsman struggled against Pakistan in the first game, but he recovered beautifully in the following two contests, scoring fifty runs against both the Netherlands and South Africa. Suryakumar Yadav has also scored 134 runs with two fifties. The Indian team lost to South Africa as a result of Ashwin's 43 runs allowed in four overs. Arshdeep Singh, a left-arm pacer, possesses great ball control. On the fast-paced Australian tracks, Arshdeep has been bowling fantastic lines and lengths, and he is getting paid for it. In the forthcoming game, he is anticipated to play a significant role for his team. Arshdeep Singh, a young left-arm bowler, has taken seven wickets in the tournament thus far and performed admirably. In the most recent game against South Africa, Virat Kohli was eliminated early, causing India to finish with a below-par score. Despite Surya's innings, it was the case. Similar to Pakistan, India may soon become increasingly dependent on a small number of key individuals. Fortunately for India, these batters are in the middle of the order rather than the openers. Anyhow, over-dependence on a select group of players isn't a good sign for this competition moving forward. The two Indian players who currently have the greatest influence are Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Arshdeep Singh. Regarding Indian bowlers, Arshdeep Singh claimed two wickets in the most recent game, along with one apiece for Mohammed Shami, Hardik Pandya, and Ravichandran Ashwin. However, veteran spinner R. Ashwin turned out to be quite expensive.

When we talk about Bangladesh - Nazmul Hossain, the star of the most recent game, has 105 runs in three games. Shakib Al Hasan, the team's star all-rounder, has scored a total of 31 runs in the competition, and Soumya Sarkar (29) and Liton Das (57), who also struggled, have also performed poorly. Nazmul Hossain's superb inning of 71 runs helped Bangladesh defeat Zimbabwe in the last match by three runs, but the batters for Bangladesh haven't played well in the competition thus far. Compared to the batsmen, the team's bowlers have performed far better. Taskin Ahmed has taken eight wickets so far, while other bowlers have also had success. As a result, Shanto, Soumya Sarkar, and Liton Das will be Bangladesh's primary batters in order to help the country reach respectable totals. The bad news for Bangladesh is that even Das and Sarkar have fallen flat at the top of the hierarchy due to their lack of relevance. The previous game against Zimbabwe saw a 54-run partnership between Shanto and Shakib. And this ought to have boosted the two's self-assurance and optimism about a potential comeback. Afif Hossein, Mosaddek Hossein, and Nurul Hasan are all excellent batting alternatives in the lower order.
WEATHER
