Pune: India and Bangladesh will face off in a highly anticipated match of the ongoing ODI World Cup on October 19 at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. India, the current world champions, are unbeaten in the tournament so far, while Bangladesh have lost all three of their matches.
Despite the difference in their form, Bangladesh are a team that can never be underestimated. They have a history of upsetting India, and they have the talent to do it again on Thursday.
“Bangladesh have won the toss and elected to bat first in Pune. Shakib Al Hasan sits with injury”, tweeted ICC.
With 3 victories in 3 matches, India occupy the second spot on the points table, boasting an enviable net run rate of +1.821. Bangladesh occupy the sixth position on the points table and are desperately seeking to break free from a chain of consecutive defeats. Their net run rate languishes at -0.699, illustrating the challenges they face.
Bangladesh will be led by Najmul Hossain Shanto, who is standing in for the injured Shakib Al Hasan. Shanto is a talented young batter, and he will be looking to lead his team to a memorable victory over India.
India, on the other hand, will be looking to maintain their unbeaten record. They have a strong batting line-up, led by Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Their bowling attack is also impressive, with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami leading the way.
The match is expected to be a close and exciting one. India are the favorites to win, but Bangladesh are a team that can never be ruled out.
