IND vs. BAN Highlights: India wins by 7 Wickets

IND vs. BAN, World Cup 2023: India start the chase off strong as Rohit and Shubman start targeting the Bangladeshi bowlers. Another century is scored by Virat Kohli. On October 19, during the current ODI World Cup match against India, Bangladesh elected to bat first after winning the toss.

Bangladesh’s openers picked up the tempo after a sluggish beginning and scored 100 runs in 17.2 overs. However, when Indian bowlers grabbed the initiative, starting with Kuldeep Yadav and continuing with Ravindra Jadeja, wickets began to fall from that point on. Tanzid Hasan (51), Litton Das (66), Mushfiqur Rahim (38) and Mahmudullah (46) all contributed significant runs to Bangladesh’s 256/8 total after 50 overs. For India, Shardul Thakur and Kuldeep Yadav each claimed one wicket, while Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Ravindra Jadeja each claimed two.

IND vs. BAN Recently

The recent history between the two countries is what makes this match more exciting. While India has historically dominated, winning 31 of the 40 ODI matches, Bangladesh’s recent improvement cannot be ignored. They have indeed won three of their past four games against India, refuting the conventional wisdom about ‘upsets’.

The fact that their most recent encounter took place in September at the Asia Cup 2023 is important. Shakib Al Hasan led Bangladesh to a stunning victory by just six runs, winning Player of the Match honours. Both Axar Patel’s quickfire 42 and Shubman Gill’s amazing 121-run innings fell short of meeting India’s needs. The scales were tipped by Rohit Sharma’s dismal duck and Virat Kohli’s absence. Suryakumar Yadav, who was indeed given the opportunity to play in the starting XI, could only score 26 runs.
