Bangladesh vs India match preview

India come into their 2025 ICC Champions Trophy opener as red-hot favourites to beat Bangladesh in Dubai this Thursday.

The Indians are clear favourites for the title at $2.62 with leading online bookmakers, so it is no surprise to see them with the low odds of $1.10 for this clash. Meanwhile, Bangladesh are paying $7 for the upset.

It has been an interesting preparation for Bangladesh, who have played just one warm-up ODI against the Pakistan A side, which they lost. Most of their players have been involved in the Bangladesh Premier League for the past month, while they have won just one ODI in the last 12 months.

On the other hand, India have been in very strong form, coming off a dominant 3-0 series victory over England in the lead-up to the tournament.

The Dubai International Cricket Stadium has been a bowler-friendly pitch in recent times, with just one score over 250 in the last two years. However, the conditions have favoured both spin and pace, so expect both sides to stick with their regular bowling attacks.

Bangladesh vs India team news

With veterans such as Tamim Iqbal, Mahmudullah Riyad and Shakib Al Hasan all retiring recently, a new generation of Bangladeshi cricketers is coming through this tournament.

Tanzid Hasan and Soumya Sarkar are expected to open ahead of captain Najmul Hossain Shanto. All-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz, keeper Mushfiqur Rahim, Towhid Hridoy and Jaker Ali will make up the middle order.

The Bangladeshis are tipped to field just one genuine spin option in Rishad Hossain, while Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed and Tanzim Hasan Sakib are the obvious pace options.

India are expected to field a familiar lineup, headed by captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. Virat Kohli will come in at first drop, with Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul completing the top five.

The all-round trio of Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel give the Indian side plenty of flexibility. Meanwhile, the bowling attack will be without superstar Jasprit Bumrah but should still be very strong, featuring the likes of Mohammed Shami, Harshit Rana and Kuldeep Yadav.

Bangladesh vs India prediction

It is hard to see anything but a dominant win for India in this clash. This Bangladesh side is lacking in experience, and their questionable lead-up to the tournament is a major concern. While there is little value, take India to win.

Coming in at the top of the order for India, Shubman Gill enters this tournament in excellent form. With scores of 87, 60 and 112 in the recent series against England, the 25-year-old now averages over 60 in ODI cricket. Back Gill to top score for India at $4 with top cricket bookies.

While the Bangladesh side is lacking in experience, one player who has an excellent ODI record is fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman. The 29-year-old has already played 107 internationals, bowling at an average of 25. With multiple wickets in each of his last four games, back Mustafizur to continue his good form with two or more scalps at $2.50 with major online betting sites.
