India vs Bangladesh : Preview

Following an exceptional performance against Pakistan , beating them 2-0 in their backyard, Bangladesh will be riding a lot of momentum. However, facing India in India is an unparalleled task, let alone registering a win. Some of the most successful teams have struggled to endure the rank-turner pitches of India, and only a couple in the last decade or two have managed to carve out a hard-fought success. Hence, Bangladesh will have a formidable challenge.

As for India, the series comes as an opportunity to solidify lead on the WTC table. Team India is already at the top of the tree and a 2-0 win against the neighbors will add further points in the bag. The series is scheduled to begin on September 19, 2024.
