In the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023, the Indian cricket team, led by Rohit Sharma, is on a winning streak and aims to continue this trend as they face Bangladesh at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune.
The rivalry between India and Bangladesh has intensified in recent years, with Bangladesh proving to be a formidable opponent. The two Asian cricket giants will clash in the 17th match of the World Cup 2023 in Pune at 2:00 PM IST.
India, riding high on confidence, seeks to maintain their unbeaten record after three consecutive victories against Australia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. India has a dominant head-to-head record in ODI matches against Bangladesh, with 31 wins out of 40 matches. In contrast, Bangladesh has won 8 matches, with their victories mainly at home; they are yet to win an ODI against India away from home.
The last encounter between these two teams was in the Super Four match of the Asia Cup 2023, where India lost to Bangladesh by six runs.
Except for a shaky start in their opening World Cup match against Australia, India has been consistently strong in the tournament. They have not allowed any games to slip away from their grasp.
On the other hand, Bangladesh will be looking to bounce back in Pune, having suffered back-to-back defeats after winning their first World Cup match. In their losses, the opponents gained an early advantage, forcing Bangladesh to play catch-up.
Led by Shakib Al Hasan, the Bangladesh team boasts several experienced players who have previously defeated India. This sets the stage for an exciting clash as Bangladesh aims to upset the formidable Indian team in the ICC World Cup 2023.
