IND vs BAN Teams Preview
India Preview
Rohit Sharma’s team has lived up to the expectations of crores of fans after registering a massive 8-wicket win over arch-rivals Pakistan. Their top order has been in good form & the bowling attack has made it tough for opponents to deliver. India will aim to continue the same momentum against Bangladesh to reserve their semi-final spot.
Rohit Sharma has scored 217 runs in three matches & will look to continue providing a good start to his team along with Shubman Gill. In the middle order the likes of Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer & KL Rahul will be their biggest bets. While Hardik, Jadeja, & Ashwin will try to strengthen their lower middle order.
Coming to the bowling order, Jasprit Bumrah & Mohammed Siraj will continue to create havoc with the new ball. The spin trio of Kuldeep Yadav, Jadeja, and Ashwin have bowled well, and they will look to take advantage of the conditions and trouble the Bangladeshis. Pandya adds depth to this attack, making it strong. Overall India looks settled & we expect no change in the Playing XI for today’s clash.
India Predicted Playing XI:
Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj
Bangladesh Preview
Back-to-back losses have been a major drawback for Shakib-Al-Hasan & his team. They lost their last game against New Zealand by 8 wickets which was their second consecutive loss. Bangladesh’s top order has struggled to deliver with consistency & Hasan will aim to tackle that in today’s fixture. He will hope to get a stable performance with his entire team in front of mighty opponents like team India.
Litton Das & Tanzid Hasan must deliver at the top order as they have constantly failed to do that at the top order. The middle order has to deal with the strong spin attack as we are all aware of India’s lethal spin web & thus Tigers need some stable stand from Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Shakib & Mushfiqur Rahim. The team will also hope to receive some fireworks in the final overs from Towhid Hridoy and Mahmudullah to put up a big score on the board.
Their bowling order lacks power & has struggled a lot in the last two matches. The team will need some tight spells from Mustafizur Rahman and Shoriful Islam to trouble India’s in-form top order. Shakib must use his experience & do well in the middle overs along with Hasan Miraz. He will get good support from Taskin Ahmed and Mahmudullah in the supporting role.
Bangladesh Predicted Playing XI:
Shakib Al Hasan (c), Litton Das, Tanzid Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman
IND vs BAN Pitch & Weather Reports
Pune will have clear skies on October 19 & the surface will be good to bat on with the ball coming onto the bat nicely. Bowlers have to bowl at perfect lines & lengths if they aim for good results. The side batting first in this game would need at least 320 runs to defend it successfully.
The MCA stadium in Pune is known as batters haven due to its flat wicket & the outfield. Batters can make easy strokes without any trouble. Pacers have struggled a lot at this venue while spinners have enjoyed a good record here in the past.
Toss To Bat
The team winning the toss should opt to bat first considering the batter-friendly nature of the pitch. Thus the team winning the toss will aim to take full advantage of short boundaries & flat pitch by batting first.
IND vs BAN Winning prediction
Bangladesh team lacks the spark as they have suffered two consecutive defeats in the tournament so far. Their top order lacks fire & they haven’t defeated any Indians on the field in an ODI fixture so far. Batters will need a good show at the top order to win this fixture. Coming to India they have done very well in the tournament so far. Their batting is in good form & their bowling looks potent. Indians have a good record against Bangladesh & we hope that they will win the clash against Bangladesh.
Prediction: We hope India to win
