West Indies vs Bangladesh, 2nd Match, Group C

South Africa's dominant win over West Indies and Zimbabwe's call to bowl first helped India regain control of the net run rate equation in the Super Eight stage.

India need to get a big win if possible on the night and will probably be looking to bowl first if given the choice, in order to limit the visitors to a low total and chase it down quickly.
