India vs Bangladesh Live Score, IND vs BAN World Cup 2023: On recent form, BAN have the edge of IND
Although their rivalry with Pakistan is more intense, India’s rivalry with Bangladesh has its own allure. The gap between India and Bangladesh has only gotten wider despite years of fighting for similar outcomes. When “big brothers” India gave Bangladesh their Test debut in 2000, the rivalry took a chilly turn. However, things took an unprecedented turn in 2007 when Tamim Iqbal, Mashrafe Mortaza, and Mushfiqur Rahim shocked the Men in Blue at the World Cup in the West Indies. Four years later, India exacted their retaliation, but ever since then, whenever the two countries play in the World Cup, tensions have been high.
The waist-high full toss that Rohit Sharma survived and used to smash a century that eliminated Bangladesh from the 2015 World Cup caused quite a stir. Before the chapter could even close, India defeated Bangladesh by one run in the World T20 the following year, with MS Dhoni and Hardik Pandya’s frazzled nerves overshadowing Mushfiqur Rahim’s early celebrations. The tension continued into the post-game awards ceremony, where Dhoni even became irate at a reporter who questioned the close outcome.
Indian and Bangladeshi ties have recently been plentiful. IND vs BAN is featured frequently in the women’s ODI series, Emerging Asia Cup, Asian Games, and now the World Cup. The upcoming chapter of today only promises to ratchet up the rivalry even more. Curiously, Bangladesh has defeated India three times in the last four one-day internationals (ODIs), including the most recent victory at the Asia Cup. However, in all of these contests, India did not field a full-strength team, unlike today. Bangladesh has their work cut out for them because of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, and KL Rahul.
In contrast to how Bangladesh have performed, India has been unstoppable so far in the World Cup and has appeared more dominant with each game. Bangladesh defeated Afghanistan but lost to world-class opposition in England and New Zealand. This comes as the team is still reeling from the Tamim Iqbal and captain Shakib-Al-Hasan brawl. Shakib, who missed the New Zealand match due to a left quad injury, is still uncertain, which only makes matters worse. The Bangladesh captain is improving, but a final decision won’t be made until after Tuesday and Wednesday’s practice sessions, when his development will be closely watched.
Here are some key pointers surrounding the India vs Bangladesh Live World Cup 2023 match update:
- Captain Shakib-Al-Hasan, who missed Bangladesh’s match against New Zealand, is still questionable to start because of a left quad injury.
