IND vs BAN Dream11 Prediction, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: India v Bangladesh predicted playing XI; full squads, match info
India and Bangladesh will face off in a Group A ICC Champions Trophy 2025 match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Thursday.
Both teams will look to get their campaigns off to a winning start and bag two crucial points. The Indian team, led by Rohit Sharma, is coming off a 3-0 series win at home against England and will hope to keep the momentum going.
On a pitch that could aid the spinners, India could play three spinners – with Kuldeep Yadav partnering all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel. While Mohammed Shami will lead the pace attack in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh is likely to pip Harshit Rana in the race to be India’s second seamer in the playing XI.
With India preferring KL Rahul over Rishabh Pant as wicketkeeper in the ODI format, the Indian top-six will comprise only right-handed batters, which could give Bangladesh’s spinners a slight advantage.
The Najmul Hossain Shanto-led Bangladesh team is likely to field three frontline seamers, who will be supported by the spin duo of Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Rishad Hossain.
