India has been successful in their ICC World Cup 2023 campaign so far winning all three matches. They defeated Australia, Afghanistan and Pakistan and are in the second spot in the points table. India's captain Rohit Sharma seems to be in good touch in white ball cricket after his blazing knocks against Afghanistan and arch-rivals Pakistan.

Shubman Gill's return to India's squad for the ICC World Cup 2023 will stabilize India's top-order batting. Jasprit Bumrah holds the third rank in the leading wicket-takers in the tournament with 8 wickets.

Bangladesh have played three matches out of which they have come victorious in just one match against Afghanistan. They lost the remaining two matches against New Zealand and England. They need to win today's match against India to remain alive in the tournament. While India named an unchanged team, Hasan Mahmud was brought into the Bangladesh side in place of Taskin Ahmed.

Will India be able to maintain their winning streak or Bengal Tigers will take "upset" Team India?

Will Najmul Hossain Shanto be successful in helping Bangladesh win the match against India?

A must-watch clash between India and Bangladesh awaits!
