Upcoming Clash at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025: India vs. Bangladesh
The highly anticipated second match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will see India take on Bangladesh at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Thursday, February 20.
India’s Position as Strong Contenders
Entering the tournament as one of the leading contenders for the title, India recently displayed their dominance by completing a clean sweep against England in a three-match ODI series held at home. Although they will be without their star bowler Jasprit Bumrah, Indian cricket still possesses an impressive pace attack featuring talents like Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh.
As former champions of the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy, India is relying heavily on seasoned batsmen Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul to contribute significantly to their innings. The squad’s batting depth is fortified with versatile all-rounders like Ravindra Jadeja, Hardik Pandya, and Axar Patel ready to make an impact when called upon.
Challenges for Bangladesh
On the other hand, Bangladesh enters this tournament facing significant challenges as they have chosen to exclude veteran all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan from their squad. Despite showing flashes of brilliance over recent years, particularly noteworthy performances during World Cups and other international fixtures—including reaching new heights in global rankings—the Bangla Tigers have disappointed in several crucial matches lately and have suffered defeats in two consecutive ODI series.
