India Vs Bangladesh: ODI World Cup: India vs Bangladesh head-to-head record | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: The 2023 ODI World Cup match between India and Bangladesh on Thursday is poised to be a showdown between the overwhelming favourites, India, and their spirited neighbours. While India’s current form in the tournament suggests an easy win, the recent head-to-head encounters tell a different tale.
Bangladesh have proved to be a thorn in India’s side, securing victories in three of their last four meetings.These wins include two triumphs in a bilateral series hosted in Bangladesh and another in the recently concludedAsia Cup in Sri Lanka. This record implies that India will face a formidable challenge at the MCA Stadium in Pune.

While India have historically enjoyed a 3-1 record against Bangladesh in the ODI World Cups, with their sole loss dating back to the 2007 edition in the Caribbean, the overall head-to-head record also favours India with a commanding 31-8 lead in One Day Internationals (ODIs) from 40 matches with one game producing No Result.

Despite this historical advantage, India are acutely aware of the shifting dynamics in international cricket, with so-called “big teams” like defending champions England and South Africa suffering surprising losses to perceived “smaller teams” Afghanistan and the Netherlands, respectively. This has instilled a sense of caution among India’s ranks, recognizing that the line between success and defeat in the current cricket landscape is razor-thin.
The impending clash between India and Bangladesh promises a thrilling contest that underscores the unpredictable nature of the sport. India will approach the match with both respect for their neighbours and a determination to maintain their winning streak in the tournament.
