Arshdeep Singh of India in action during a T20 World Cup 2024 warm-up match against Bangladesh in New York.
Hello and welcome to Sportstar’s HIGHLIGHTS of the IND vs BAN T20 World Cup 2024 Warm-up match from the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.
A comprehensive win for India, but more than the win, the Men in Blue will be happy about the takeaways from this warm-up match. Rishabh Pant scored a brisk fifty at No. 3, Hardik Pandya smashed three back to back sixes and was at his destructive best with the bat, having put his woeful IPL form behind him, and Arshdeep Singh was spot-on with the new ball in the PowerPlay. Other than that, it was good to see Shivam Dube bowling three overs, and also picking a couple of wickets, albeit at the death.
Although Virat Kohli didn’t play, it was a good warm-up for Team India ahead of its campaign opener against Ireland on June 05 at the same venue. The conditions today weren’t really conducive to run-scoring. There was some awkward bounce, and the pitch seemed slow with the ball not really coming onto the bat. Moreover, the outfield too wasn’t the fastest, with puffs of sand coming off upon contact with the ball in some parts of the field. It will thus be interesting how India approaches its game, especially at this venue, where it has to play three matches, including the big one against Pakistan on June 9.
That will be all from us for tonight. Tune in and follow our coverage of the T20 World Cup, which begins tomorrow at 6 AM IST with USA and Canada facing off in the tournament opener. Until then, it’s goodnight from us!

The upcoming warm-up game will not only be crucial for India in terms of firming up the playing XI and combinations, but also to assess the conditions at the venue, where the Men in Blue play three of their four Group Stage matches. The high-intensity clash against Pakistan will also be held here, on June 09. India opens its campaign against Ireland on June 5 also at this venue.
Matches played: 4
India won: 4
Bangladesh won: 0
Last result: India won by five runs (Adelaide, 2022)
India international Dinesh Karthik on Saturday announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.
After two months of intense competitive cricket under night lights, the Indian cricket team, sans Virat Kohli, began its preparations for the T20 World Cup with a morning training session here, keeping in mind the 10.30 am start for all its preliminary games.
In the warm-up game, it is expected that save for Virat Kohli, who is expected to touch down some time before the practice game, all other 14 players will be given a go as it doesn’t have an official status.
