Team News
India are expected to field an unchanged XI against Bangladesh, with Shardul Thakur likely to keep his spot ahead of Ravichandran Ashwin. The small ground dimensions and flat pitch could favor Thakur’s pace and batting prowess.
Toss won by Bangladesh
India are the clear favorites for this match, having won all three
games so far in the tournament. They have a strong batting lineup led by Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli and a bowling attack capable of taking wickets on any surface.
On the other hand, Bangladesh has had a mixed start to the tournament, winning two and losing one of their three matches.
Bangladesh will likely field Shakib Al Hasan if he is fit, and they may also consider promoting Mehidy Hasan Miraz to open alongside Litton Das. Mushfiqur Rahim could also move up the order. However, Bangladesh will need to decide whether to sacrifice some batting depth to strengthen their bowling.
Ind vs Ban betting odds
Betting odds indicate that India has an implied probability of winning the match over 80%, while Bangladesh has an implied chance of winning under 15%.
This is not surprising, given that India are one of the strongest teams in the world and are currently unbeaten in the 2023 World Cup.
