IND vs. BAN ODI match will take place on October 19 at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune, at 2:30 pm. Preview of India vs. Bangladesh ODI in the 2023 ICC World Cup India Team’s Performance in the Ongoing World Cup Tournament So Far The ICC World Cup has been really thrilling for Indian fans. With India winning consistently, fans are filled with hope for even more victories. India won over Australia by 6 wickets in the first match. In the second game against Afghanistan, India not only secured a remarkable victory with an outstanding performance but also set numerous historical records. For instance, Rohit Sharma made history by achieving the fastest century by an Indian player in a World Cup match. India reached a total of 273 runs with 8 wickets to spare and 90 balls left in the second match, making it a comfortable win. However, the third match against Pakistan was anticipated to be more challenging and unpredictable. But India won that match smoothly, too. Shreyas Iyer hit a powerful four to reach his half-century, leading India to its 8th World Cup victory against Pakistan with a 7-wicket win. This significant triumph not only secured India's position at the top of the ICC World Cup 2023 points table but also dethroned New Zealand from the leading spot.

Additionally, they efficiently chased down Afghanistan's target of 273 in only 35 overs. With such impressive performances in both batting and bowling, it will require an extraordinary effort from opponents to defeat them in the coming matches. Performance of Bangladesh Team in the Ongoing ICC World Cup So Far Bangladesh started with a comfortable six-wicket win in the foothills of the Himalayas at Dharamsala. However, they faced a defeat at the same venue against England, and this was followed by a straightforward eight-wicket loss to New Zealand in Hyderabad. Key players for Bangladesh have performed well in different matches, with five out of the top six players scoring half-centuries in the first three games. Tanzid Hasan Tamim, who replaced the controversially dropped Tamim Iqbal just before the tournament, is the only one among the top six who hasn't made a substantial contribution to the team's total so far. While Bangladesh is aiming for a win against India, Shakib Al Hasan becomes doubtful due to injury. Shakib suffered a minor tear (grade I) in his quadriceps while playing against New Zealand in Chennai. Whether he will be part of the game against India depends on his performance during Tuesday's practice session. But Shakib is eager to participate in the match against India.

He is still showcasing his batting mastery in the 2023 World Cup. Sharma achieved a historic seventh World Cup century in India's recent victory over Afghanistan. Rohit Sharma's exceptional performance played a significant role in India's dominant eight-wicket win in the match against Afghanistan in Delhi. Further, his 86 runs from 63 balls also helped India to win the last match against Pakistan. With 217 runs, he is now the third top scorer of this World Cup. Jasprit Bumrah After his outstanding performance against the Afghans, he also added two more wickets to his bag. Jasprit Bumrah showed his top-notch bowling skills with a stellar performance, securing his best bowling figures of 4/39 against Afghanistan. With his two wickets in the last match, Bumrah holds the top position as the highest wicket-taker in this World Cup, along with Mitchell Santner and Matt Henry. All three of them got 8 wickets in three matches. Shubman Gill  Shubman was absent from India's initial two matches in the 2023 World Cup due to dengue. However, he made a stylish comeback in the match against Pakistan. He scored 16 runs from 11 balls. Shubman hit 4 fours. So, he might give his best against Bangladesh and have a great chance to dominate Bangladeshi bowlers.

After scoring 51 runs against England, he scored 66 runs against New Zealand, which was the top score by a Bangladeshi batter in that match. Shakib Al Hasan Shakib's significance was highlighted once more in the match against New Zealand in Chennai. He played a crucial role by scoring 40 runs and forming a vital partnership with Mushfiqur, rescuing Bangladesh from a challenging situation after they were down to 56-4 within the 13th over. If Shakib can play the next match, he can pose significant challenges in the next match. Previously, he scored 80 runs from 85 balls in Asia Cup 2023 against India. So, Indian bowlers should be careful against Shakib. Mahmudullah Mahmudullah played the first and third matches. However, he did not play the first match against Afghanistan, and Bangladesh won the match before he needed to bat. But Mahmudullah played a crucial role in the last match against New Zealand as he scored 41 runs from 49 balls. So, he might need to take some responsibility if Bangladesh’s top order falls.
