India vs Bangladesh Live Score, Cricket World Cup 2023: Tanzid Hasan scored a brilliant half-century to give him team a spanking start, but Kuldeep Yadav ended the opener’s innings shortly to give India a much-needed breakthrough. This was after Bangladesh stand-in captain Najmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and chose to bat in their World Cup match in Pune. After keeping the Bangladesh openers quiet, Tanzid and Litton Das broke the shackles. To add to India’s woes, Hardik Pandya injured his ankle and had to wobble off the ground but thankfully for India Kuldeep struck in the 15th over and ended the 93-run partnership.
With Afghanistan and the Netherlands doing the unthinkable, two major upsets have already rocked this World Cup, and if there is one more team well-suited to pull off another unexpected result, it’s Bangladesh against India today at the MCA Stadium in Pune. Bangladesh have defeated India a few times – not much – but enough for it not to be called an upset anymore. In fact, Bangladesh have beaten India three times in the last four ODIs played between the two sides, and yet, every time it happens, it’s an outcome no one sees coming.
India’s rivalry with Bangladesh may not be as big as the one they share against Pakistan, but it has its own charm. Even after years of battling each other for certain close results, the gulf between India and Bangladesh has only widened. The rivalry which began on a lukewarm note in 2000 when ‘big brothers’ India handed Bangladesh their Test debut, things took an unprecedented turn in 2007, when Tamim Iqbal, Mashrafe Mortaza and Mushfiqur Rahim stunned the Men in Blue at the World Cup in the West Indies. India got their revenge four years later but everytime there is a World Cup match between the two, sparks fly.
For example. In the 2015 World Cup, the waist-high full toss which Rohit Sharma survived and went on to bludgeon a century that knocked Bangladesh out in the quarterfinal created quite the uproar. And before the chapter could even die down, the very next year at the World T20, India edged Bangladesh by one-run in a last-ball thriller where MS Dhoni and Hardik Pandya’s nerves overshadowed Mushfiqur Rahim’s premature celebrations. The intensity spilled into the post-match presentation ceremony where Dhoni even snapped at a reporter questioning the close finish.
Of late, there has been no shortage of India-Bangladesh ties. The women’s ODI series, the Emerging Asia Cup, Asian Games, and now the World Cup… IND vs BAN is everywhere. And today’s impending chapter only promises to spice up the rivalry even further. Interestingly, Bangladesh have beaten India three times in the last four ODIs – including the most recent win at the Asia Cup – but in all of these games, India did not field a full-strength side, unlike today. Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul… Bangladesh have their work cut out.
India have been unstoppable thus far in the World Cup – they have looked more dominant with every passing game – a far cry from how Bangladesh have fared. Already grappling with the blow-up featuring Tamim Iqbal and captain Shakib-Al-Hasan, Bangladesh won against Afghanistan but were slapped with defeats against powerhouses England and New Zealand. To add to their woes, Shakib, who missed the New Zealand contest with a left quad injury, remains in doubt. The Bangladesh captain is showing improvement but a final call will be taken after monitoring his progress during Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s practice sessions.
Here are some key pointers surrounding the India vs Bangladesh World Cup 2023 match:
– Bangladesh won the toss and chose to bat first
– Tanzid Hasan and Litton Das were off to a slow start but then picked it up to the point that they broke the record for highest opening stand for Bangladesh in World Cups
– Tanzid scored a half century and fell to Kuldeep on 51 off 43 in the 15th over, with the stand thus ending on 93
– Najmul Hossain Shanto is captaining Bangladesh with Shakib al Hasan ruled out
– India have a 3-1 record against Bangladesh in World Cups.
– In the last four ODIs played between the two teams, Bangladesh have beaten India thrice.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: For the first time in 25 years…
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: As stated earlier, this game marks quite an incredible first in the rivalry between these two sides. Bangladesh became a full member of the ICC in 2000 and since then, they have played quite a few memorable matches in limited overs cricket against India. And so, it is quite incredible to think that this is the first time they are playing an ODI against India in India as a full member nation. The last time they played here was way back in 1998 as part of the Coca Cola Triangular series alongwith Kenya. Incredibly, it was Kenya and not Bangladesh who had made it to the final at the Eden Gardens where they lost to India by nine wickets. The last match between Bangladesh and India in India was on May 25, 1998 in that series. India had won by five wickets, with Anil Kumble and Venkatesh Prasad taking 3 wickets each and the former being declared player of the match. The Indian captain in that match was Ajay Jadeja and Bangladesh were led by Akram Khan.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: Shakib has not walked out for the toss alongwith Rohit Sharma and so that means that the all-rounder is ruled out. Massive, massive blow for Bangladesh. Najmul Hossain Shanto standing there with the Indian captain.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: The pitch
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: I don’t see a turner here, a good pitch. But seamers might enjoy this, says Sanjay Manjrekar.
Definition of a true pitch, says Irfan Pathan. It is a hard pitch, good for batting but can be good for an efficient pace attack. I would make sure that I am not too short or too full. Would make sure lines are very tight. As a fast bowler I would bowl bouncers so that I can then use the full ball more.
Both of them say that spinners are unlikely to get any turn. If anyone could, it is Kuldeep Yadav, says Irfan Pathan.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: Shanto’s dip
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: Najmul Hossain Shanto’s free flowing game has pretty much been the catalyst for Bangladesh having a fairly good year in ODI cricket. However, after scoring an unbeaten 59 against Afghanistan, he was out for a duck and for seven in the subsequent games.
Oct 19, 2023 01:04 PM IST
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: No extra spinner for India
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: Although there is no official communication on this yet, we can pretty much rule out the possibility of R Ashwin playing today. If he does then either Jadeja or Kuldeep will be dropped from the team. The Pune ground is a small one and spinners have been tonked around in previous matches played here over the years.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: Shami’s World Cup record
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: The fact that India’s bowling has looked so dangerous without one of their most successful pacers in World Cups shows just how may options the team have in this World Cup. India have preferred Siraj over Shami as their lead pacer with Bumrah. This is despite the fact that Shami has 31 wickets in the World Cup, a number he shares with Anil Kumble. This puts him in a list led by Zaheer Khan and Javagal Srinath, both with 44 wickets. Kapil Dev (28) and Bumrah (26) are the other prominent wicket-takers for India.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: We spoke about the threat that Virat Kohli carries. Bangladesh bowling coach, and South Africa fast bowling legend, Allan Donald said in the pre-match presser that Kohli’s wicket is what a team would think about and plan towards even two nights before the match. “That’s how we value his scalp,” he said.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: Why Indians won’t breathe easy?
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: Simple! Because you just can’t predict this World Cup. The way this World Cup has fared so far with two upsets in three days – Afghanistan stunning reigning World Champions England and the Netherlands pulling off a shock encore against South Africa – there is just no telling who will beat whom on which given day. India have been dominant over Bangladesh with 31 wins and eight defeats but some of these losses have been unexpected – the 2007 World Cup, the 2012 Asia Cup, and most recently, the series defeat of last year. Historically, India has always brought out the best in Bangladesh, and could be no exception.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: The Points-Table is maddeningly close
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: The way this World Cup has panned out, the points-table may play a bigger role than what many initially anticipated in determining the road to the semifinal. Each day is witnessing major shuffling in the positions of all 10 teams. India leaped to the top of the stands after their win over Pakistan and stayed there for good three days before New Zealand made it 4 wins out of 4 games to reclaim the No. 1 standings. South Africa and Pakistan are on 4 points each, meanwhile Bangladesh – one of the five teams with 2 points each – are sixth. Believe us! This one will go down to the wire.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: The 5-wicket-haulers
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: Taskin Ahmed, Shakib Al Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman are yet to fire on all cylinders this year but one big trivia that cannot be undermined heading into today’s clash is that all three of these bowlers have picked a five-wicket-haul against India in ODIs. Shakib did it just last December in Mirpur, where Bangladesh pulled off a one-wicket win, while Taskin did the same at this very venue back in 2014. But the most memorable and effective of them all has to be Mustafizur, who has not one, not two but three 5-wicket-hauls against the Indians in ODIs. In fact, on his debut itself, The FIZZ took 5/50, and two days later bettered it by grabbing 6/43 – his career-best figures. Four years later, at the 2019 World Cup, Mustafizur picked another five-for albeit in a losing cause. If Bangladesh are to surprise India today, one of Shakib, Taskin and Mustafizur will have to produce a repeat.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: How the skies are holding up
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: Given the amount of rain that was chasing the Indian cricket team – from the Asia Cup all the way to the World Cup warm-ups, it’s been a pleasant sight, seeing the dark clouds staying away in the first three games. However, Pune is slightly different and cause India their first interruption this World Cup. While the weather is expected to stay clear in the first half, some showers might spoil the mood towards the evening. The Pune temperature will range in the early 30s but the humidity might spike to around 45 percent during the day.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: A different KL Rahul than the one who faced Bangladesh last year
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: If Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli weren’t threatening enough, Bangladesh have to find way to stop KL Rahul too. The last time Rahul played in an IND vs BAN ODI was in December, where he was transitioning from a T20I opener to cementing a place in the middle order and donning the role of a wicketkeeper simultaneously. From finding himself in a rut this time in 2022, to becoming India’s most-reliable middle-order batter, Rahul 2.0 has been a grand success for India. He is no longer that jittery batter whom oppositions could snuff out cheaply and Bangladesh are likely to find it out today.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: India’s only temptation to bring in Ishan Kishan
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: Who can forget December 10, 2022? Ishan Kishan smashed an abundance of records en route to bludgeoning the fastest ODI double century of all time against Bangladesh. Ishan may fall behind in the pecking order to Shubman Gill, but with Shakib playing, the team management may just be tempted to give him a go to negate the Bangladesh captain’s left-arm spin threat. Ravindra Jadeja, the only left-hander bats at No. 7, and by the time he comes out, it may be just a tad late. But if Ishan comes in, who goes out? Certainly not KL Rahul. We’ll explain why.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: Dear Virat Kohli! What are these freak numbers?
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: If you thought Rohit Sharma is the real threat to Bangladesh, think again. Virat Kohli is equally big. And no, we aren’t just saying this based on current form. Kohli has dominated oppositions that his record against teams like Australia and Pakistan is always glorified. But that doesn’t take away the fact that Kohli is a beast against other teams too, in this case, Bangladesh. Kohli stellar numbers against them – 807 runs from 15 ODIs at an average 67.25 including three centuries, the most recent of which came in the last India vs Bangladesh game he featured in. Be scared Bangladesh… be very scared!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: Indian fans! It may be a bitter pill to swallow but…
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: The fact is, Ravichandran Ashwin and Mohammed Shami’s times may be coming to an end. Ashwin’s return for the World Cup is a fairytale it in itself, but the truth is that he is no longer India’s No. 1 spinner in ODIs, Kuldeep Yadav is. Similarly, Shami is no longer India’s preferred seam bowler to partner Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj is. Nostalgia is always beautiful. It makes you relieve your glory days and can captivate our favourite Team Indian players too. But times have changed. The Indian team is slowly beginning to move on. Neither Ashwin not Shami are automatic picks anymore. They still are in Tests, but just no longer as effective in ODIs as they once were.
Former BCCI chairman of selectors MSK Prasad agrees. He says ‘Ask Ashwin and Shami if reputation is more important or winning World Cup?’. CLICK HERE to read the full story.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: Today’s fixture between India and Bangladesh is significant for more reasons than one. Of course, the two teams have been involved in battles all around the world, but did you know… today marks the first of its kind in 25 years? Yes, this will mark the first instance since 1998 that Bangladesh will be playing an ODI against India in India in a quarter of a century. Head coach Rahul Dravid and Paras bowling coach Paras Mhambrey were part of India’s Playing XI when that Coca-Cola Triangular Series ODI took place in Mumbai. Talk about HISTORY, boss!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: What fuelled the India-Bangladesh cricket rivalry?
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: It all began in 2007 when Bangladesh defeated India at the World Cup. Rahul Dravid, then captain, witnessed the carnage unfold first hand. India were supposed to sail through to the next round, but a defeat in the opener rocked their campaign in ways never thought of. The Men in Blue crashed out after Sri Lanka pummelled them two games later but it led to the birth of a feud that was to turn into a fiercely-contested rivalry. Bitterness crept in when in 2010, Virender Sehwag, during a press conference, called Bangladesh an ordinary team, and it only escalated further when a no-ball drama surrounding Rohit Sharma in the 2015 World Cup led to bad blood. Ever since, India vs Bangladesh is no more just another clash of two subcontinent teams. It is a rivalry that is beginning to outgrow India vs Pakistan.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: Rohit Sharma lands in trouble for over-speeding with his Lamborghini
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: Rohit Sharma and his penchant for double centuries – he has scored 3 in ODIs and 1 in Tests – is a love story for the ages. But this is not something he would be too proud of. The India captain was issued multiple challans for over-speeding on the Mumbai-Pune expressway. His reckless driving has earned him multiple fines. Rohit was racing at an incredibly fast speed of 200 km/h in his Lamborghini, and at one point, he pushed the vehicle to reach a staggering 215 km/h, causing serious concern among traffic authorities. As a result, he was issues three traffic challans. Read the FULL STORY

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: Why Bangladesh are struggling
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: Bangladesh’s big guns have rarely made an impact at this World Cup. Barring Mushfiqur Rahim, who has conjured two half-centuries, and to a certain extent, Najmul Shanto and Litton Das with a fifty each, the rest of the batters have appeared vulnerable. So much was expected of Tanzid Hasan, Towrid Hridoy and Mehidy Hasan, but the returns have been highly ineffective. To add to Bangladesh’s woes, the bowling looks jaded as well. Shoriful Islam has bled runs and Taskin Ahmed is resembling a pale shadow of his former self. Against a well-rounded team like India, anything short of a combined effort could see them crash to a hat-trick of defeats.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: Return of Rohit Sharma the off-spinner?
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: Believe it or not but Rohit Sharma has taken two IPL hat-tricks in his career, which all the more doesn’t explain his reluctance to bowl his loopy-yet-effective off-spinners. India’s 2011 squad was all about batters who could bowl – Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh, Virender Sehwag, Suresh Raina – a topic that has popped up more times that Rohit’s ODI centuries. However, in an unexpected sight, Rohit’s off-spinners returned briefly during India’s practice session on Tuesday, which saw him tempt Hardik Pandya to take him on. Hardik managed to do so but the bigger picture was Rohit rolling his arms over, something which the India captain touched upon when he announced the squad for the World Cup last month.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: Ashwin vs Shardul – India fret over team combination
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: Ravichandran Ashwin’s last-minute addition into the Indian squad was so talked about that Shardul Thakur – the Lord, the partnership breaker – was reduced to a mere afterthought. However, after Ashwin was rested for two consecutive games after picking 1/34 against Australia 11 days ago. In contrast, Shardul hasn’t done much either to be honest – picking 1/31 against Afghanistan and then surprisingly bowling just two overs against Pakistan. The pitch at Pune’s MCA Stadium is traditionally a high-scoring one. India once chased down over 300 against England in 2017, and in their last game, posted in excess of 330. With runs on offer, an extra pacer to go with two frontline seamers and Hardik Pandya, might just be too much speed. No better time to bring Ashwin back and hope he tangles the Bangladesh batters with his wily off-spin.
