Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and elected to bat first against India in the 17th match of the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup match played at the MCA International Stadium in Pune hosting its first-ever World Cup match on Thursday (Oct. 19).
Having not dropped even a single game, India would face Bangladesh, who are coming on the back two back-to-back losses against England and New Zealand after winning their first match.
India have been the dominant team in the 40 one-day international (ODI) meetings with their neighbours, having won 31 matches compared to Bangladesh’s nine wins.
However, Bangladesh have inflicted a World Cup defeat on India when they won by five wickets to cause a major upset at the 2007 World Cup. They beat India in their last bilateral ODI series.
