Match Preview: The Champions Trophy has already started, with India (IND) and Bangladesh (BAN) playing their next match on February 20 at the Dubai International Stadium. The erratic underdogs and the two-time Champions Trophy winners will square off in this matchup. In their most recent ODI series, the Indian squad defeated the Three Lions 3-0 at home against England. Even though they have been hurt by the fact that top bowler Jasprit Bumrah is not able to play in the event, they still have a strong team and will be hoping to win the first game. The Indian squad has won their most recent ODI series, whereas the Bangladeshi team has struggled in the 50-over format, losing their last two series. Afghanistan and the West Indies defeated the Bangladeshi side in the ODI series, and their standing in the ICC ODI rankings does not appear to be good. For the Tigers to establish themselves as a premier international team, they will need to win some games.
