IND vs BAN, World Cup 2023 Match 17: Team news

India have won three out of four matches against Bangladesh in past ICC 50-over World Cups. The only defeat came in 2007 when pacer Mashrafe Mortaza’s 4-38 resulted in their premature group-stage exit, one of the most famous games between the two teams.

The two-time champions are undefeated in this year’s edition, winning three games on the trot. Batting fearlessly has paid them rich dividends and they would like to continue with that approach. India will probably field the same team from the last match given the flat surface of Pune.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh have had a troublesome campaign till now. They have faced two successive defeats against England and New Zealand despite starting on a winning note versus Afghanistan. They could accommodate an extra pacer looking at the belter. In that case, either Tanzid Hasan or Mahmadullah will miss out.

Match prediction: Who will win today’s India-Bangladesh match?

India have looked relentless during their three comprehensive wins. Given their all-round bowling attack with Jasprit Bumrah at the helm of affairs, Bangladesh will face a litmus Test. To top that, their batting has stayed true to their aggressive blueprint.

The ‘Men in Blue’ are the favourites to stretch their unbeaten streak, and make it four in four.
