The Indian cricket team will next play Bangladesh for the fifth time in the ODI World Cup on Thursday, October 19, at Pune’s Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in the 17th match of the ICC World Cup 2023. India is leading the points table and has won three of its first three matches in the competition, all of which were spectacular victories.
Bangladesh defeated Afghanistan handily to begin the competition, but they have since lost to England and New Zealand. Shakib Al Hasan, the team captain, has a slight quad injury, but he should be OK in time for the important match against India. The Rohit Sharma-led team is expected to start with the same lineup that defeated Pakistan by seven wickets and has no injury worries coming into this match.
India vs Bangladesh ODIs and ODI World Cup Head-to-Head Records
India leads the head-to-head record against Bangladesh in the 50-over format by a large margin, winning 31 matches out of 40 ODIs. Shakib Al Hassan-led Bangladesh have won 8 matches, with one match being a washout in 2014.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh have been able to gain some momentum in their recent One Day International (ODI) matches against India. Last month, Bangladesh achieved a comprehensive victory over India in the Group-stage of the 2023 Asia Cup, which was the only One Day International match played between the two teams in the current year. Additionally, Bangladesh achieved a surprise victory over India during the last bilateral One Day International series, which took place in December 2022, and have won three of the last five One Day Internationals against India. Bangladesh will be hoping to also win in the upcoming match against India.

India also holds a decisive advantage in the overall head-to-head record of 3-1 against Bangladesh when it comes to ODI World Cup matches. Bangladesh famously beat India in the inaugural edition of the tournament in 2007, but India then won the next three matches to whitewash their neighbours in World Cup matches. The last time India faced Bangladesh in the tournament was in the 2019 edition, Where Rohit Sharma hundred led to a crucial 28-run win for India, where India posted a total of 314 runs in Birmingham.
