Road to the Super-8: Key Matches and Venues
Match 1: India vs. Afghanistan in Bridgetown, Barbados
India is placed in Group B where they will play their first match against Afghanistan on June 20 in the super-eight stage.
To ensure that they record a good score, the Indian batsmen will have to overcome the spin-friendly wicket that is available at the Bridgetown ground.
But again, India stands favoured on this psychological ground as Afghanistan has never beaten India in T20 World Cups before.
Based on history the Indian team has participated twice in the T20 World Cup 2010 and they have faced some tough time in Bridgetown.
Match 2: India vs. Bangladesh/Netherlands in Antigua
The second Super 8 match for India will be at antigun’s sir vivian richards stadium. The pitch here might suit leg spinners, Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal, due to the dry and dull nature of the surface.
Each of the times Bangladesh came across India in the T20 World Cups, the latter was dominant over them.
Match 3: India vs. Australia in Gros Islet, St. Lucia
