Jaker Ali is leading Bangladesh in place of injured Litton Das. 

Bangladesh won the toss and opted to field in the Super 4s encounter against India at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.

Both teams have won a match each in the Super 4s stage with India beating Pakistan by six wickets, while Bangladesh had registered a four-wicket win against Sri Lanka.

For the records, Bangladesh have won only once in 17 head-to-head encounters between the two teams in the T20 format.

India have retained the same XI that beat Pakistan in the previous Super 4s encounter at the same venue on Sunday.

For, Bangladesh Jaker Ali took over captaincy duty from Litton Das who sustained an injury during the practice session ahead of the game.

On paper, Bangladesh are no match for India. T20Is aren't even Bangladesh's strength and if all goes well, it could be another thumping win for Suryakumar Yadav's men.

But the fickle nature of the format and the slightly better spin attack of Bangladesh means they could spring a surprise.

Teams:

India: Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson(w), Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakaravarthy.

Bangladesh: Saif Hassan, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Parvez Hossain Emon, Towhid Hridoy, Shamim Hossain, Jaker Ali(w/c), Mohammad Saifuddin, Rishad Hossain, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Nasum Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman.
