India vs Bangladesh
India and Bangladesh have met frequently throughout international cricket history, most recently at the 2018 Asia Cup. On March 9, they’ll face off again at Dubai International Cricket Stadium’s batting-friendly surface and generous boundaries – India having been victorious in all but one previous encounters against Bangladesh. Both teams will vie to advance to Champions Trophy semifinals; both hoping to improve on current rankings within this tournament.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi opens for India A and hits two consecutive sixes off Rakibul Meherob’s offspin bowling in the third over, taking on his offspin delivery down the ground before hitting one just over extra cover – ending a sequence of four overs without a boundary for India A while placing them well ahead in their innings.
Priyansh Arya hits back quickly by matching Gurjapneet Singh’s pace; he is caught at long on off the fourth ball of an over, exerting pressure on Harsh Dubey and Nehal Wadhera before they come together to restrict them.
Bangladesh’s Ripon Mondal leads the team’s wicket-taker with seven in three matches while India A left-arm spinner Gurjapneet Singh boasts five. Meanwhile, 14-year-old rising star Vaibhav Suryavanshi leads in run scoring with 201 scores from three innings played.
The final over is an uneventful affair with only three runs scored. Nehal Wadhera finally secures India A a boundary when she lofts one over midwicket for four – much-needed after their spell without one in the previous over.
India A narrowly lost to Bangladesh A in its opening Super Over of the tournament by one run after Bangladesh skipper Akbar Ali made an uncharacteristic error that allowed Harsh Dubey and Nehal Wadhera from India to steal three runs off the final ball of each over. I
ndia A will now play either Sri Lanka A or Pakistan A on Sunday for a place in the Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 final.
T20Is
As India prepares to defend their 2026 T20 World Cup crown, the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Tuesday (25 November) revealed its schedule. USA will face India in Mumbai while Pakistan and Netherlands meet each other in Colombo. Bangladesh versus West Indies in Kolkata followed by Australia taking on Oman will round out group stage play.
Indian cricket team will aim to start off the tournament right against weaker USA team in their opening match, then will face strong Netherlands side who has won their last two matches before facing arch-rival Pakistan – with which India already have an 8-1 T20I record against.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) keeps tabs on how well teams perform in T20Is, awarding winning teams with points for every victory that accumulates over time.
This data is then used to compile a ranking list showing which are currently among the world’s elite – India currently sits atop this rankings list, although as ODI format declines it may soon transition over more towards T20I cricket for their national cricket team.
After their disappointing run against South Africa in ODIs, India will look to put things back on track with their T20 campaign against them. Hoping to avenge their semi-final loss against them during this series and become tournament favorites again.
Rohit Sharma will lead India at this tournament as captain, assisted by Dinesh Karthik who will step in for Virat Kohli who has been sidelined due to an injury. Additionally, there will be newcomers like Suryakumar Yadav and Harmanpreet Kaur joining their ranks.
ODIs
India and Bangladesh’s rivalry in ODI cricket spans three decades and has transitioned from one-sided encounters into intense contests over time. This timeline documents each significant chapter in this unforgettable rivalry.
The inaugural ODI between India and Bangladesh occurred during an Asia Cup group match at Chattogram in October 1988. At that time, Bangladesh no longer belonged to the ICC or had any official ODI status; nonetheless, India won the match to kickstart an epic rivalry that would later see dramatic shifts.
Bangladesh initially struggled to bat, yet their bowlers quickly emerged as highly competitive. By the early 2010s, however, Bangladesh had produced international-caliber players like Mashrafe Mortaza, Shakib Al Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman who continued to post daunting totals that put Bangladesh firmly into contention in ODI competition.
After some difficult years, Bangladesh finally experienced stability in 2022 and qualified for the 2019 Cricket World Cup. Though their performance at this tournament wasn’t stellar – finishing eighth out of 8th group – Bangladesh made sure that everything possible was done to prepare themselves for future tournaments.
Bangladesh made headlines this year by defeating Netherlands and Oman in one-off Test matches and also taking down Ireland in three ODI series; marking their first ever win against an established ODI nation! They also recorded their highest ever ODI score – 349/6 against Zimbabwe at Sylhet Stadium!
Bangladesh reached the 2023 Asia Cup final after dominating all group stage matches and earning all victories thanks to Shakib and Liton Das’ performances. They then showed their mettle against Pakistan in the semi final match which ended up with them emerging victorious.
The team continued their impressive run at the 2024 Asian Games in Doha, winning all three group stages before falling short to Afghanistan in the semi-finals.
Tests
Bangladesh and India’s Test series has long been an intense rivalry. Over time, as both nations have grown into world-class cricketing powers, their test series have become even more heated with each passing matchup.
Their different approaches make their contests captivating from various perspectives; even though Bangladesh may be smaller in comparison, Bangladesh still brings something unique to Test cricket that deserves consideration.
In 2004, their first meeting took place and concluded in an intense and high-scoring draw, cementing Bangladesh as an authoritative Test nation and producing one of its highest individual scores ever in an Test match (Adil Rashid).
Furthermore, this match marked a landmark moment in both countries’ cricketing histories as it marked the first time Bangladesh ever managed to defeat an established cricket powerhouse through Test cricket.
Bangladesh then hosted Australia and New Zealand for an intense Test and ODI series, splitting one-off Test series evenly while losing three-match ODI series by large margins. While Bangladesh made significant strides under Pybus’ leadership, his inability to maintain momentum caused him to step down in October.
Bangladesh reached the finals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2022 after defeating Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe to make history for themselves by reaching the semis, but were ultimately crushed by India in their match-up, leaving them with only one victory to show from 11 tournament final appearances overall. For the first time ever in their history, Greg Chappell – former Australia cricketer – served as Bangladesh coach.
Bangladesh traveled to West Indies the following year for a full series of tests and limited-overs matches, suffering a trouncing in all three formats; being completely defeated in each game while losing every one 5-0 T20Is series they participated in – this tour saw players like Sameen Ishraq, Akram Khan, Al-Shariar Khaled Mashud Mohamad Rafique make their international cricket debuts during this journey.
In 2024, Bangladesh traveled to England for a 3-match ODI and 5-match T20 series, winning one but losing both competitions. Mushfiqur Rahim scored his maiden century in T20Is against England as part of this tour – setting a new record for fastest century ever by any Bangladesh player in an ODI match!
