Bangladesh vs India- Previews and Betting Tips

After three long years, India and Bangladesh will finally share the field to play a one-day international game. The two teams last met at the 2019 ODI world cup where India emerged victorious by 28 runs. Winning the toss, India decided to put some runs on the board, and opener Rohit Sharma did a fantastic job with the bat. His 92-ball 104 guided India to 314/9.

However, chasing 315, the Bangla tigers gave a solid reply. Shakib al Hasan smashed a brilliant 74-ball 66 while Mohammad Saifuddin remained unbeaten at 51 off just 38 balls. Unfortunately, all their efforts went in vain as Jasprit Bumrah’s 4/55  and Hardik Pandya’s 3/60 helped bundle out Bangladesh for 286. So close, yet so far. In their previous ODI encounters, India faced a 1-0 series loss against New Zealand while Bangladesh lost 2-1 to the Chevrons.

India and Bangladesh have always had weird chemistry. Right from the final over drama at the T20 world cup to the last ball six by Dinesh Karthik to clinch the Nidahas Trophy. As a matter of fact, India have set the highest score at Shere Bangla stadium in an ODI, 370/4, back in 2011. It is also the venue where Stuart Binny clinched the infamous 6/4. The men in blue have plenty of records at this venue and a lot of drama against the Bangla tigers, making this upcoming encounter an exhilarating one.

Bangladesh

It will be tough to beat India, regardless of the match taking place in favorable conditions. The Tigers will rely heavily on their batting lineup to fire, especially skipper Litton Das and Mahmudullah. Litton was smashing the Indian bowlers all over the park at the T20 world cup and would look to continue that in the upcoming fixture. He has 363 runs in his past 8 games at an average of 60.50. On the other hand, Mahmudullah has 285 runs in his past 10 games and has proven to be a key asset with the bat & ball. As far as the bowling department is concerned, Mehidy Hasan and Mustafizur Rahim have it covered. The spinner has 19 wickets in just 10 matches while the left-hander has 8 wickets in his past 9 games at an economy of just 4.14. In addition, the likes of Shakib al Hasan, Najmul Hossain, and Mushfiqur Rahim will add a lot of confidence and experience to the side.

Squad: Litton Das(C), Mushfiqur Rahim(wk), Najmul Hossain Shanto, Yasir Ali, Afif Hossain, Mahmudullah, Mehidy Hassan, Shakib al Hasan, Ebadot Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman

India

India look to be a strong and well-balanced side with Rohit, Virat, and KL Rahul back in the side. Their top order seems unbreakable but cricket is an unpredictable game. They will rely plenty on opener Shikhar Dhawan who seemed like he never had a break. The southpaw has 340 runs in his past 10 games and will look to add some more runs in the bank. Another promising prospect is Shreyas Iyer, who will be a key element for the side if handed an opportunity. He has 364 runs in just 7 matches at a whopping average of 91. Meanwhile, the young pace attack of India is very lethal. Shardul Thakur and Mohammad Siraj have proven to be very economical with a rate of 5.60 and 4.05, respectively. Shardul has bagged 10 scalps, while Siraj has 9 in their past 6 games. This Indian squad can hand Bangladesh a tormenting defeat at home and will aim to do so rightfully.

Squad: Rohit Sharma(C), KL Rahul(vc), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant(wk), Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, Shardul Thakur, Mohammad Siraj, Deepak Chahar
