Bangladesh Aiming to Upset
Bangladesh, coming off a series win against the USA, will be looking to cause an upset against a formidable Indian side. Youngsters like Towhid Hridoy and Tanzid Hasan impressed in the USA series and could be crucial for Bangladesh. Mustafizur Rahman and Rishad Hossain will lead their bowling attack.
