Bangladesh will face India in the second match of the Champions Trophy 2025 in Dubai. This will be the first encounter of both teams in the competition.
Bangladesh are among the weakest sides in the competition on paper. While they have a few quality players, they don’t really stand out in any department and will find it arduous to compete throughout the tournament.
Meanwhile, India will enter another tournament as favourites. They have a well-rounded unit and had three games to fine-tune their preparations before the Champions Trophy 2025.
India will play games on fresh pitches, so the deck should be nice for batting. Speedsters might get some early help in the second innings, but the batters should enjoy overall. The team winning the toss might elect to field first, with around 270 being a fighting one.
A temperature of around 24°C, with mostly cloudy, is forecast.

IND vs BAN Dream11 Prediction
Quality-wise, there’s no comparison between the two sides. India are a far superior unit, with most bases covered. However, even if they miss those big guns, ODI is Bangladesh’s best format. Still, India should start the competition on a winning note.
