IND Vs BAN: The Clash of Rivals in Champions Trophy 2025

IND Vs BAN: The second match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be played between Bangladesh and the last time’s runners-up India on February 20 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.

This is set to be a thrilling showdown, a true test that will challenge both teams today (Thursday).

India’s batting lineup, featuring big names like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and others, boasts the kind of firepower capable of tearing apart any bowling attack on its day. Their ability to accelerate and successfully chase down large totals is well-documented.

However, they will be cautious of a Bangladeshi bowling attack that has proven to be dangerous. Mustafizur Rehman’s variations and cutters will pose a constant challenge for India, while Taskin Ahmed and Mehidy Hasan will aim to provide key breakthroughs.

IND Vs BAN: Records in ODI

History heavily favors India, but Bangladesh’s recent cricketing rise has transformed them into a formidable side, far from the easily beatable opponents as they were.

In their overall ODI record, the two teams have faced each other 41 times. India holds the upper hand with 32 wins, while Bangladesh has claimed 8 victories and 1 match ended without a result.

The last time these two teams faced off in an ODI at this venue was in September 2018, during the Asia Cup final, where India emerged victorious against the Tigers.

India holds a record of 5 wins in 6 ODIs at this venue, all of which came during the 2018 Asia Cup, while Bangladesh has played 3 matches here, and won 1.

IND Vs BAN: Setbacks

India’s biggest loss is Jasprit Bumrah, who is sidelined due to injury, while Bangladesh will miss their star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, who was excluded from the team after failing a test for a suspected bowling action some time ago.
