Bangladesh vs India Chances of Winning

Rohit Sharma's team has secured their spot in the final following a 41-run victory over Sri Lanka in their recent match. The team has demonstrated a clinical approach in their last three matches, rebounding from their initial stumble against Pakistan. The top-order batsmen have been consistently contributing runs, and the bowlers are currently in fine form. Sharma is keen on securing a convincing win in this game to establish momentum for the upcoming final. Both Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill have been in exceptional form, providing strong starts in the team's previous three games. The team is counting on them to deliver another impressive performance in this match. The middle order is robust, and they have high expectations from Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and Ishan Kishan in terms of scoring runs. Furthermore, the inclusion of Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, and Axar Patel adds depth and strength to the batting lineup. The Indian team has displayed strong bowling performances in their last two matches, and they anticipate another stellar showing from pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj, particularly with the new ball. Kuldeep Yadav has been in phenomenal form, claiming 9 wickets in the last two games, and he aims to trouble the Bangladeshi batsman during the middle overs. Pandya, Jadeja, and Axar Patel round out a formidable bowling attack for India.

Shakib al Hasan and his team have endured a challenging tournament, falling short of expectations with the exception of their victory over Afghanistan in the group stage. Their recent defeat to Sri Lanka by 21 runs sealed their fate, as they are now unable to advance to the next round. Shakib is eager to conclude the tournament on a positive note, recognizing that a victory against India would provide a significant boost in confidence ahead of the World Cup. In terms of batting, the team is relying on strong performances from Mohammad Naim and Mehidy Hasan Miraz at the top of the order, as both players have shown their ability to score runs. However, the middle order has been inconsistent, and the team is looking for solid contributions from Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, and Towhid Hridoy. Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib are known for their hitting prowess and are expected to provide quick runs in the lower middle order. The bowling unit faces a formidable challenge against the Indian team. To trouble India's in-form top order, Taskin Ahmed and Shoriful Islam will need to deliver effective spells at the beginning of the innings. Shakib and Mehidy Hasan Miraz are likely to find the conditions favourable and will be tasked with slowing down India's scoring rate. Additionally, the team will be counting on strong performances from Nasum Ahmed and Hasan Mahmud to support the bowling effort.

• Bangladesh's chance of winning: 12%
• India’s chance of winning: 88%

Bangladesh vs India Toss Prediction

The R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo is a spacious ground known for its favourable batting conditions and a lightning-quick outfield. Batsmen often find it conducive to play their shots freely on this pitch, making it a favourable surface for batting. Historically, fast bowlers have encountered challenges on this venue, while spinners tend to thrive due to the sharp turn the ball can generate on this surface.

In terms of the team strategy, most teams have enjoyed success when opting to bat first on this ground.

Out of the 155 matches held at this venue, the team batting first has emerged victorious in 84 instances, compared to 61 victories for the team batting second. The average first innings score recorded here is approximately 232 runs. Consequently, winning the toss and choosing to bat first would likely be the preferred choice for the team.

Bangladesh vs India Betting Odds

India to score over 39.5 runs before their first dismissal @ 1.85 (Pari Match)

The Indian team benefits from the opening partnership of their captain, Rohit Sharma, and Shubman Gill. Both of these batsmen have been in outstanding form during the current campaign. Sharma boasts an impressive average of 64.66, while Gill's average stands at 51.33 in the ongoing tournament. In the current competition, Team India achieved the following scores: 15, 147, 121, and 80 runs, respectively, before encountering their first loss. They have managed to consistently exceed the 39.5 run mark in terms of opening partnerships in three consecutive games before losing their first wicket. Therefore, it is reasonable to anticipate that Team India is likely to score more than 39.5 runs before their first dismissal in the upcoming matches.

Bangladesh vs India Top Batters

KL Rahul be the top batter for India

KL Rahul silenced his critics with a remarkable unbeaten 111-run performance against Pakistan. In the subsequent match, he added 39 runs to his tally against Sri Lanka, solidifying his status as a prominent batting talent for India in the game.

Najmul Hossain Shanto to be the top batter for Bangladesh

Najmul Hossain Shanto has been phenomenal with the bat in the current campaign, scoring 193 runs in only two games. His scores in the 2023 Asia Cup read 89 & 104 runs and Shanto has emerged as Bangladesh’s best batter in one of the matches. Shanto’s current run of form suggests that he is going to be Bangladesh’s best batter in the upcoming game.

Bangladesh vs India Top Bowlers

Kuldeep Yadav to be the top bowler for India

Kuldeep Yadav is set to be India's primary choice in the bowling lineup. He has consistently demonstrated his skills on the international cricket stage. In the recent match against Sri Lanka, he showcased his prowess by taking four wickets. Prior to that, Yadav had a remarkable performance against Pakistan, securing five crucial wickets. As such, he is expected to play a significant role as a key bowling figure for the team. He has been India’s best bowler in back-to-back matches and therefore we predict Kuldeep Yadav to be the top bowler for India in the game.

Taskin Ahmed to be the top bowler for Bangladesh

Taskin Ahmed has picked up nine wickets in four matches at an average of 19.11. He has been the stand out performer with the ball in the tournament for Bangladesh. He picked up three wickets for 62 runs against Sri Lanka in the last game. We believe Taskin to continue his good run of form and be the top bowler for Bangladesh against India.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: India

Bangladesh has disappointed in this tournament, with their key players struggling to find their form. To have any opportunity in this match, they need to make significant improvements both in their batting and bowling performances. In contrast, the Indian team has excelled in all aspects of the game in their recent three matches, particularly their top-order batting. This strong form makes them the favourites to emerge victorious in this game.

• Bangladesh to win the match @ 5.70 (Pari Match)
• India to win the match @ 1.14 (Pari Match)
