Still smarting after their loss to South Africa, India will take on Bangladesh at the Adelaide Oval in a match that could determine the future of the side in the ongoing T20 World Cup. South Africa are currently leading Group 2, but India has the chance to regain that spot if they beat Bangladesh in Adelaide.
On the other hand, Bangladesh will be quite confident after its win over Zimbabwe. The match went down to the last ball and it was their first win of this tournament. India cannot take Bangladesh lightly, more so after their loss to South Africa.

India vs Bangladesh: Weather and pitch conditions
The weather has not been too kind in the ongoing T20 World Cup. There are chances of rain during the India vs Bangladesh clash but the forecast is not too bleak and we could well get in a complete match.
As far as the pitch is concerned, the Adelaide Oval has always had a batting belter. However, there will be assistance to the seam bowlers considering all the weather around. Apart from this, the surface has also offered assistance to the spinners as far as the history of the ground is considered.
