India vs Bangladesh Live Score, Cricket World Cup 2023 Updates: Virat Kohli gives due respect to Bangladeshi bowlers
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, Cricket World Cup 2023 Updates: India, currently enjoying an unblemished record in the ongoing ODI World Cup, are gearing up for a clash against Bangladesh on October 19 at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. With 3 victories in 3 matches, India occupy the second spot on the points table, boasting an enviable net run rate of +1.821.
Bangladesh occupy the sixth position on the leaderboard and are desperately seeking to break free from a chain of consecutive defeats. Their net run rate languishes at -0.699, illustrating the challenges they face.
What makes this contest particularly electrifying is the recent track record between the two nations. While India have dominated historically—winning 31 out of 40 ODI face-offs—one can’t overlook Bangladesh’s improving form. They have clinched victories in three of their last four matches against India, challenging the established narrative of ‘upsets’.
It’s noteworthy that the last match between these teams took place in September in the Asia Cup 2023. Shakib Al Hasan clinched the Player of the Match award, guiding Bangladesh to a thrilling win by a mere six runs. Shubman Gill’s remarkable 121-run innings wasn’t enough for India, nor was Axar Patel’s quickfire 42. Rohit Sharma’s disappointing duck and the absence of Virat Kohli tilted the scales. Suryakumar Yadav, who got his chance in the playing XI, could only muster 26 runs.
On the global stage of the World Cup, India have tasted victory in three out of four encounters with Bangladesh. Their sole defeat was a sensational loss back in 2007, a match that marked Bangladesh’s crowning achievement against India. Subsequent World Cup meetings have seen India winning by substantial margins—87 runs in 2011, 109 runs in 2015, and 28 runs in 2019.
