IND vs BAN Dream11 Prediction, ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: Get the Dream11 fantasy tips, predicted XI, and pitch report for the CWC23 match between India and Bangladesh at Pune.

India and Bangladesh will lock horns in the 17th match of the World Cup 2023 in Pune. Both teams have had contrasting campaigns so far. India have won all three games and are the table toppers, whereas Bangladesh are in the seventh position with only one win in three matches.

India registered a clinical victory against Pakistan by seven wickets in the last game. Bowling first, they restricted Pakistan to a mere 191, with all the bowlers, barring Shardul Thakur, scalping two wickets. In the batting innings, Rohit Sharma top scored 86 runs, whereas Shreyas Iyer’s vital 53 ensured a victory without any hiccups.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh lost their last game by eight wickets against New Zealand in Chennai. Batting first, they could assemble only 245 runs, with Mushfiqur Rahim (66) and Shakib Al Hasan (40) only standing tall with the willow. Only Mustafizur Rahman and Shakib Al Hasan could snare a wicket each, as the Bangladeshi bowlers looked toothless.

Can Bangladesh stop India’s progress and get their campaign on track? Here is our preview plus Dream11 cricket fantasy tips for the clash.

IND vs BAN Dream11 Prediction – Fantasy Cricket Tips

India:

• Rohit Sharma is a must-pick in fantasy teams. The skipper is in terrific form with the willow. He has scored 738 runs at an average of 56.76 and a strike rate of 96.09 in 16 ODI innings against Bangladesh.
• Rohit also has three centuries against the Tigers, with two of them coming in the previous two editions of the World Cup.
• Shubman Gill might have missed scoring in the last game, but he is an in-form batter. Gill amassed a fine century in his only innings against Bangladesh. He hit eight boundaries and five sixes in the innings.
• Virat Kohli enjoys batting against Bangladesh. He has 807 runs at an average of 67.25 and a strike rate of 101.25 in 15 ODI innings against them. This includes three fifties and four centuries against Bangladesh.
• Hardik Pandya will contribute with both bat and ball. He has three wickets at 28 balls apiece against Bangladesh. Hardik will also contribute significantly with the willow at No. 6, and is a good option for Dream11 fantasy teams if India bats first.
• Kuldeep Yadav is taking wickets for fun this year. He has four wickets at an average of 33 in three ODI innings against Bangladesh. Expect Kuldeep to trouble the shaky Bangladeshi batters with his plethora of variations.
• Jasprit Bumrah is a strong captaincy option in Dream11 grand leagues. He has 10 wickets at a tremendous average of 17 and a strike rate of 22.60 in four ODI innings against Bangladesh. He has been in sensational form this World Cup and will look to extend his fine work.

Bangladesh:

• Litton Das has 305 runs at an average of 30.50 and a strike rate of 81.33 in 10 ODI innings against India. He is among the best Bangladeshi batters but hasn’t fired according to the expectations. The team would require a solid start from him from the top.
• Najmul Hossain Shanto has been a consistent run-scorer for Bangladesh this year. He has 764 runs at an average of 47.75 and a strike rate of 85.36 in 17 ODI innings in 2023. This includes six fifties and two centuries.
• Mehidy Hasan Miraz can fetch some decent fantasy points. He enjoys playing against India. Miraz has 228 runs at an average of 57 and a strike rate of 86.36 in six ODI innings against them. Mehidy also has five wickets in six innings vs. the men in blue.
• Shakib Al Hasan is a must-pick in fantasy teams. He has 751 runs at an average of 37.55 and a strike rate of 83.35 in 21 ODI innings against India. Shakib also has 29 wickets at 32.65 runs apiece in 22 ODI innings against them.
• Mushfiqur Rahim will again be crucial with the willow for Bangladesh. He has 665 runs at an average of 31.66 and a strike rate of 73.23 in 24 ODI innings against India.
• Rahim, who has struck 51 and 66 in his last two innings, is enjoying a solid year in ODIs: 18 inns, 714 runs, avg. 47.60, SR 89.58.
