India play their first three group games in New York and the warm-up fixture against Bangladesh will be their first chance to know the conditions of the pitch in the newly-built stadium.
Virat Kohli's availability for the game is still unknown but Rohit Sharma would know his playing combination and might not try too much before the tournament starts. The things to look out for from an Indian perspective will be who among Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh is ahead in the pecking order and who will be the first choice wicketkeeper Sanju Samson or Rishabh Pant.
Bangladesh's first warm-up match against USA was cancelled due to bad weather.
The fixture will not have an official T20 status meaning that the stats from this match will not be added to anyone's T20 record.
