Bangladesh v India Preview, Quarter-final 2, Melbourne

Rohit Sharma hasn’t turned up in the big games, while Ajinkya Rahane hasn’t found an encore for the marvellous 79 against South Africa. Even Kohli has been pottering along in second or third gear since the hundred against Pakistan. The ruthlessness on display during the Champions Trophy triumph in 2013 hasn’t yet shown itself, not on the batting side anyway. One of these days, with Rohit and Shikhar Dhawan getting off to a fast track, some team could be in for a pounding.

Bangladesh, for whom this is a first World Cup knockout game, will be hoping that that day isn’t Thursday.

Teams (likely):

India: Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni (capt, wk), Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Mohit Sharma, Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav.

Bangladesh: Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, Soumya Sarkar, Mahmudullah, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Sabbir Rahman, Mashrafe Mortaza (capt), Arafat Sunny, Rubel Hossain, Taskin Ahmed.
