Match Preview
India enters the tournament in top form, having recently whitewashed England 3-0 in an ODI series at home. Despite the absence of Jasprit Bumrah due to injury, the Men in Blue boast a well-balanced squad and will look to kick-start their campaign with a dominant performance.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, has struggled in recent ODIs, suffering back-to-back series defeats against Afghanistan and the West Indies. Their ICC ODI ranking does not look promising, but they will be eager to silence their critics and make a statement against a strong Indian side.
