India will lock horns with sub continent Bangladesh in Match 40 of the ICC World Cup at Edgbaston in Birmingham. The encounter would be the fourth meeting between the two Asian teams at the showpiece event.


While India are a win away from making it to the semis, Bangladesh need to win not only today's encounter against India but also hope some other results go in their favour for securing a place in the knockouts..

Here is the toss update

Indian skipper Virat Kohli won the toss and elected to bat first against Bangladesh at Edgbaston. India have dropped leg spinner Kuldeep Yadav and brought back seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar into the playing eleven. Meanwhile, Dinesh Karthik makes a comeback into the World Cup playing XI after a gap of 12 long years.

Virat Kohli: We are gonna bat first. It's a used pitch. In the last game, it was getting slower and slower. Looking at the shorter boundaries, one of wrist spinners - Kuldeep - misses out. Bhuvi comes in. Kedar is not playing and Dinesh Karthik replaces him.

Mashrafe Mortaza: Not a bad idea to bowl them against India. We love to win this do-or-die match. We have to play at our best. Mirz is not playing; Rubel is playing. Unfortunately, Mahmudullah isn't playing; Sabbir Rahman comes in.

Here is the playing eleven for both the teams

India (Playing XI): Lokesh Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli(c), Rishabh Pant, Dinesh Karthik, MS Dhoni(w), Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah
