Table of Contents

India vs Bangladesh will be the 17th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, which will be played on October 19, 2023, at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune.

Indian Cricket Team is running rampant in the World Cup as they won 3 out of 3 matches quite comfortably against two top sides, Australia and Pakistan. In the last match against Pakistan, they just showed how great their bowling unit is working as they took eight wickets for 36 runs to bowl out Pakistan on just 191. Taking wickets in the middle order has been the key factor in the World Cup for the Indian bowling unit, which is the main reason why India wins the matches quite easily.

The team captain, Rohit Sharma, revived his full-flowing form in the World Cup after scoring back-to-back 80+ to have 217 runs in the last 3 matches in the World Cup, and after the first match misery, he is back to his best shot-playing form. India is one the top of the table after winning 3 matches and having a net run rate of +1.821, which is a good sign for the Indian team to move further in the tournament.

Bangladesh lost their last match against New Zealand by 8 wickets, their second defeat in a row after England defeated them by 137 runs. It is going to be hard for them to win against India, but the amazing fact about India vs Bangladesh is that they won 3 out of 6 last ODI matches, and even in the last match in the Asia Cup, Bangladesh won against India by six runs.

Bangladesh is looking not too competitive in the World Cup like they used to be in past World Cups. However, they won the match against Afghanistan, but against India, it will be hard. They once defeated India in the 2007 World Cup, which is considered one of the greatest upsets in the World Cup.

Important players for the India Team in the match against Bangladesh

1- Rohit Sharma has been in amazing form in the last two matches, scoring 217 runs, and has a 56.76 average in the 16 ODI matches he played against Bangladesh. He is one of the best white ball batters in the world of cricket right now and can score a century against them.

2- Jasprit Bumrah has been amazing with the ball, taking 8 wickets in the last 3 matches of the World Cup. It clearly tells about his hard work paid off after recovering from his injury last year. He took 16 wickets in the last 8 matches with an amazing economy of 4.5.

Team Preview Of Bangladesh

Bangladesh is not an underdog team and has been playing the World Cup for a long time to defeat any opponent on their day. They have a decent bowling unit but lack their team’s opening slot. The next match against India is on a batting-friendly surface, which they might not find favorable as they are used to playing on a slow surface where their spinners and slow bowlers thrive.

Important players for the Bangladesh Team in the match against India

1- Mehidy Hasan Miraz will be crucial for the Bangladesh team, but against India, his average goes up to 57, and he also took five wickets against them in 6 matches.

2- Mustafizur Rahman will be crucial for the Bangladesh team against India as in the past, he took 25 wickets against India in the 11 matches he played in the ODI. He is one of the most experienced bowlers for the Bangladesh team, and with his slower one, he can deceive any batter.

3- Shakib Al Hasan needs to give a captain performance against India if they want to have a chance in the World Cup because if they lose the next match, then it will be over for them. He took 29 wickets and scored 751 runs in his 22 matches against India.
