Bangladesh vs India, 1st ODI – Dafanews Match Preview

Bangladesh will lock horns against India in the first ODI on Sunday and the series will be a perfect audition platform for many young players for the next year’s World Cup. India lost their recent series against the Kiwis but the big names will return back to the squad to make a difference.

We look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

Current form of India: NR NR L W L

India would want to make the most of the opportunity of playing in the sub-continent conditions as the countdown to the next year’s World Cup has already begun. The Men in Blue have been in decent form and they would want to tick the desired boxes against Bangladesh.

Current form of Bangladesh: W L L W L

Bangladesh had lost their previous ODI series against Zimbabwe and they would want to come up with a collective show. However, the Tigers received a big blow before the series as their skipper Tamim Iqbal has been ruled out with a groin injury while Taskin Ahmed has been ruled out from the first game. The hosts are yet to name a new skipper.

Head to Head: Matches: 36, Won by India: 30, Won by Bangladesh: 5, NR:1.
