Match Preview
In their fourth and overall 17th encounter of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, the hosts will lock horns with Bangladesh. The 2023 hosts have had a fantastic season till now, as they lead the standings with an unbeaten streak of three matches. Bangladesh, on the other hand, currently reside at the seventh spot with only one win in their account.
The team faced a major blow ahead of their clash against India as their skipper Shakib Al Hasan suffered a thigh injury. As per the latest developments and statement from the head coach, Hasan's inclusion in the playing XI will be assessed on the matchday itself.
With such exemplary performances delivered so far, fans will hope for more. But it will be interesting to see if the Men in Blue continue their dominance or they meet an unexpected obstacle.
Toss Prediction
In the three respective matches that both the teams have played so far in the tournament, India have only managed to win one toss. Bangladesh, on the flip side, came on top of two out of three toss battles this far in ODI World Cup 2023. Considering this record, we think that the Indian captain, Rohit Sharma, is likely to have toss result in his favour.
Win Possibility
India and Bangladesh share an ODI rivalry of 38 matches in the 50-over format. Out of those 38 matches, India have come on top at 30 occasions, while seven matches ended in Bangladesh's favour. Speaking of the ODI World Cup matches, the Bengal Tigers have won one out of four fixtures played against the Men in Blue.
Not only this, if we consider the recent performances both the teams have delivered, it would be safe to say that Men in Blue are in stronger position than their counterparts. Hence, we think Rohit Sharma and Co. will win the forthcoming game to extend their win tally to 4-0.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune will host a total of five fixtures in the current season of the marquee ICC event. If we look back at the ODI fixtures, a total of seven 50-over games have been played at the venue.
The average first inning score at the venue stands at 307. For the forthcoming encounter, we think that the first innings score will somewhere be around 290-310, while the powerplay score is expected to be around 45-55.
