BAN vs IND Today Match Prediction – Who Will Win? | Match 02, ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Preview & Analysis

India are coming in on a roll in ODIs. They have a lot of flexibility batting deep while having a variety of all-rounders. The loss of Jasprit Bumrah though leaves them without a trump card as India now look to find one in their spinners, playing to their strength. Shami is in the side though and he could fill in with the responsibility, if he finds his regular form. Bangladesh start a new era with Shakib Al Hasan missing. Litton Das is out of the squad as well and Bangladesh are left with a challenge given their minimal experience. Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmadullah are still going strong though and will be hoping for a nice swansong. They were a part of the side which gave its peak performance, making the Semi-Finals in the 2017 Champions Trophy.

Bangladesh vs India Key Players

Mohammad Shami

Shami is back as the attack leader. His bowling did lack its usual bite in the previous game but with added responsibility on him he could get back to his wicket-taking best.

Mahmadullah

Mahmadullah continues to carry the batting line-up. He stepped up in the West Indies earlier last year and is a good batter down the order still. 

BAN vs IND Match Tips

India will start favorites with Bangladesh still looking inconsistent.
