IND vs BAN Team Previews
India
India was the top-ranked ODI team when the World Cup began and their brilliant form has continued in this tournament as well. The hosts have won each of their 3 matches so far and are sitting at the top of the points table.
India's most recent win came against arch-rivals Pakistan on Sunday, where they won quite comfortably by 7 wickets and that should give the team plenty of confidence. While India has always been a strong batting side, it is heartening to see the bowlers perform equally well and contribute to the team’s success.
Jasprit Bumrah has led the bowling unit with 8 wickets and has done equally well with the new ball as well as towards the death. Mohammad Siraj, who had a relatively quiet start to the tournament, picked up important wickets of Abdullah Shafique and Babar Azam in the last match.
Kuldeep Yadav, Hardik Pandya, and Ravindra Jadeja have picked up 5 wickets each. Coming to the batting, Rohit Sharma is in scintillating form as he scored consecutive 50+ scores in the last two matches.
Virat Kohli and KL Rahul have done a good job in the middle order while the return of Shubman Gill provides plenty of strength to the top order. It appears as if India has all the bases covered at the moment.
India Playing 11

Bangladesh
The Tigers made a winning start to their campaign by defeating Afghanistan. However, they have since suffered massive losses against England and New Zealand and are now in the bottom half of the table. While there are still quite a few matches to go, Bangladesh will need to play better cricket if they want to make it to the playoffs.
The batting has been one of the biggest letdowns for Bangladesh. Barring Mushfiqur Rahim, none of the batsmen have been able to make an impact so far. Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and Litton Das have played well in patches but will need to be more consistent.
Towhid Hridoy and Shakib Al-Hasan have struggled with the bat, and that has led Bangladesh's middle order to collapse on more than one occasion. Shakib has done well with the ball though, picking up 5 wickets, and is the leading wicket-taker for the team along with Shoriful Islam.
Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed have been pretty expensive and so has Mahedi Hasan. Bangladesh has to improve in all aspects if it wants to get back to winning ways.
One thing that will really give Bangladesh belief is its recent record against India. They have won three out of their previous four ODI's against India.

IND vs BAN Toss Prediction
The MCA Stadium in Pune has hosted 7 ODIs to date. The teams batting first enjoy a 57% winning rate compared to 43% for those batting second. We, therefore, think that the winner of the toss will likely opt to bat first.

Pitch and Conditions
Pune is a high-scoring venue and has an average first-inning score of around 310 runs. We expect this match to be no different. The pitch is firm and hard, and since this will be the first match that will be played here in this tournament, we can expect a fresh pitch.
The bounce is good and there will be some help for the quicker bowlers. But overall, we can expect the pitch to favor the batsmen.
The weather is expected to be clear with temperatures ranging from 26 to 30 degrees Celsius.
IND vs BAN Betting Tips
India has been in good form in this World Cup but they cannot afford to be lax against Bangladesh. The latter have defeated them in 3 of their last 4 ODIs and are more than capable of creating an upset. Nevertheless, looking at the form of both teams, we feel that India should come out on top.
Bet on India to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
India has a strong batting line-up which has scored at least 25 4s in 3 of the last 4 matches played in Pune. Looking at the current form of most of its batsmen, we are backing them to do so again.
Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are the most successful opening pair of 2023. They have put together 1071 runs this year at an average of 82.38, including 9 50+ partnerships in 14 innings. We are therefore expecting another good stand from them.
Bumrah has been in excellent form since coming back from his injury. He has picked up at least two wickets in each of his last 4 outings and has picked up 2 or more wickets in each of his 3 appearances at the MCA Stadium.
