This rivalry has produced many memorable matches with exciting endings as well as contributing significantly towards Bangladesh’s development as a cricketing nation.
India and Bangladesh compete in an intriguing contest in international cricket, both teams having much to prove in this matchup. Bangladesh may still be relatively young when it comes to Test cricket but has already proven its potential with strong batting and bowling performances that leave opponents guessing on many occasions. Their players tend to be very energetic on the field and can be unpredictable; their home fans show strong support as well.
Bangladesh’s national cricket team boasts an excellent record in limited overs cricket. In six ICC World Cup tournaments they participated in, winning 14 matches while losing just three; reaching quarter-finals of several ICC Trophy tournaments; amassing an immense fan base across South Asia including over 2.3 million Twitter followers and 12 million Facebook likes respectively.
Bangladesh will host India in 2025 for three-match ODI and three-match T20I series, starting with an ODI at Mirpur’s Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on 17 August; Chattogram hosts its last ODI on 26 August; Dhaka hosts its debut T20I on 19 August.
Bangladesh and India have faced off 29 times across all formats since 2017. India leads with over 30 wins in Tests; however, Bangladesh has managed to score some notable victories. Both teams are evenly matched in ODIs but Bangladesh has made notable advances in T20Is. The 2025 ICC Champions Trophy will mark an important chapter in this rivalry; its match promises exciting finishes and may produce some surprising outcomes; furthermore it will test Bangladesh’s ability to compete against top teams worldwide.
History
India and Bangladesh share an intense and passionate cricket rivalry that is unrivaled worldwide. Over 55 Test, ODI, and T20I matches have taken place between these teams – with India winning most. Although their relationship between each country may be cordial enough, when the two meet on the pitch it becomes highly charged due to this fierce rivalry they share.
On 10 January 1998, India and Bangladesh met in their inaugural ODI at Dhaka’s Silver Jubilee Independence Cup ODI match, and India prevailed 5 wickets to 4. Sachin Tendulkar made history with his maiden ODI century while Mashrafe Mortaza played brilliantly for Bangladesh by taking six wickets for 88 runs bowled against him.
Bangladesh then made their mark in international cricket, led by players like Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Tamim Iqbal who brought consistency and firepower. Though India still held an edge, games became closer; one such encounter being the 2015 ICC World Cup quarter-final that caused heated discussion about umpiring decisions while reigniting rivalries between teams.
With each passing year, Bangladesh has continued to improve both in their batting and bowling capabilities, evidenced by three wins out of the last five ODIs against India. While India continues to dominate this format, it will be interesting to see whether Bangladesh can bring their rivalry between nations to an even higher level in this year’s Champions Trophy matchup.
Matches
India and Bangladesh will meet for three Test matches and three T20Is over the coming month, beginning August 17 at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur before moving onto Dhaka for game two on 20 August, with Delhi and Hyderabad hosting games two through four, respectively. India are favorites going into this tour, led by Rohit Sharma from Rohit’s Indian premiership-winning side; further supported by all-rounders such as Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja who have shown their ability to perform here before.
Bangladesh have produced impressive performances recently and will hope to cause an upset against world champion India. Although they were struggling in the Super 8 stage of this year’s T20 World Cup, Bangladesh have an excellent limited overs record against them; having never lost in 13 meetings.
Last time India and Bangladesh met in a Test match, India comfortably won by 266 runs. Bangladesh struggled early on but Shubman Gill’s innings of 119 proved sufficient for Bangladesh. India’s spinners, particularly Ravichandran Ashwin’s six wickets for 88 was impressive as well.
Both teams will aim to enhance their form in the forthcoming Test series as they prepare for the 2019 World Cup in England and Wales. India are likely to dominate this series if their previous performance holds true;
Team USA will look to build momentum as they enter the Champions Trophy tournament starting June. Both sides will hope for a victory to increase their chances of qualifying for its knockout stages and potentially qualifying as one of its 16 entrants.
Indian and Bangladesh have faced each other 41 times in ODI cricket, with India winning 33 and Bangladesh 8. They also met five times in T20Is, each side winning one match each. The series between India and Bangladesh will commence in Dubai on September 19 and conclude with their final ODI on October 1. Following that, both sides will face each other three more times between October 6-12 for three T20I matches in Dubai. India are expected to name their squad after competing at Duleep Trophy 2024 but any major changes should not occur in their squad numbers.
Schedule
India and Bangladesh will face off in both a Test series and three T20Is starting March 18. India is looking forward to redeeming themselves after their defeat at home by Bangladesh during Champions Trophy 2024 and extend their unbeaten red-ball record; on the other hand, Bangladesh enters this series full of confidence after trouncing Pakistan at home in whitewash fashion earlier in 2018.
Rohit Sharma and India will commence the series with two Test matches starting September 19 and concluding October 1 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, where India have an excellent track record against Bangladesh. The series opener will likely see similar squad members featured as those featured against England this year; however there may be changes such as Riyan Parag and Rinku Singh being added into the lineup. The series opener will likely see Rohit’s men dominate against Bangladesh as has been evidenced through previous series wins against them this year.
Both sides share an intense cricket rivalry, and this series promises to add another chapter. They have met 41 times in ODIs; India winning 32 while Bangladesh have eight victories; their sole Champions Trophy encounter came during 2017 where India secured an emphatic semi-final win.
T20I matches between India and Sri Lanka will take place three times, starting with two in Chennai followed by matches at Kanpur and Gwalior before concluding in Dharamsala at Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium due to renovation works at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium.
Bangladesh and India will begin an ODI series from August 17-31. Bangladesh are anticipating it being an exciting affair as this will be their inaugural three-match ODI series against each other, while India are currently top of the ICC Men’s ODI Team Rankings; therefore they hope to gain even more points against their neighbours whereas Bangladesh hope their recent win against Pakistan can propel them higher up in rankings.
