India and Australia are able to book their places in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup this weekend although they rely on each other to win to secure that status.

After India comfortably saw off Afghanistan to continue their winning run into this phase of the competition they already have one foot in the semi-finals.

There was more good news for India as Suryakumar Yadav also returned to the kind of form that caused many to consider him the best T20 batter in the world.

For Virat Kohli there was no such luck as his rotten T20 World Cup continued although he did at least make it out of single figures for the first time in this tournament.

Bangladesh look as though this phase of the competition could be the end of the line for them but they can still hope for another big upset against Asian opposition after beating Sri Lanka earlier in the piece.

While Bangladesh have some excellent bowlers in their lineup it has been a struggle for them to put runs on the board for those bowlers to take advantage of, at least in this T20 World Cup.

India have all-rounders in form which we have seen can be the best thing for any side in T20 cricket with Australia enjoying similar utility thanks to their array of jacks of all trades.

India vs Bangladesh: Suggested bets

India have been powered by their bowling attack so far in this T20 World Cup marked by lower scoring and tough wickets in the United States.

Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh form the frontline for India and they have dealt killer blows early on time and again.

Towhid Hridoy has been the standout find for Bangladesh in recent seasons and he is one batter who has stepped up to fill the gap as the old guard have been forced to finally make way. He is their top scorer in T20 cricket in the last year.

In Antigua, the surface might just present enough for Mahedi Hasan to weave his magic and work his way through the India top order. Hasan looks good to come out as Bangladesh's top bowler in this crucial encounter.

India's strong starts with the ball and Bangladesh's conservative approach makes the under on their first over market an attractive option. They could really struggle to get the ball off the square against this world-class India attack.
