India and Bangladesh are prepared for their much-awaited clash later today during the 17th ODI World Cup 2023 match. Their rivalry might not have the same charm as Team Blue’s recently concluded victory against Pakistan, but Bangladesh has had some surprising turns in recent years. The overall ODI record between the two stands at 31-8 in India’s favour, with the team looking phenomenal after having secured a clean streak of three consecutive wins in this global tournament — placing second on the table with six points. Conversely, Bangladesh has recorded one win in three games and sits at the sixth position.
The IND v BAN match will be played at the MCA Stadium (Maharashtra Cricket Association) in Pune, marking their first ODI encounter since the Asia Cup in September, with the latter winning in the final over. Weather reports suggest that skies should be clear during the first chunk of the match, albeit some showers are expected around sunset. Captain Rohit Sharma will lead the Indian cricket team, with Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, and Jasprit Bumrah being key players to watch out for. On the opponent’s end, we’ve got Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim as standouts.
