IND vs BAN Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report – Asia Cup 2023 Match 12 | IND vs BAN Dream11 Prediction Today | Colombo Pitch Report
In the context of the Asia Cup, this match has no significance. India are in the final and Bangladesh cannot make it. However, there is a World Cup just weeks away, so form and continuity remains important.
This is especially the case for Bangladesh. Their batting has left a lot to be desired in this tournament. They have been bowled out three times in four matches, including twice below 200. Here is an opportunity to finish this competition on a high, with any victory against India always valued by the Bangladesh players and fans.
For India, the pieces of the puzzle are starting to come together. KL Rahul has made a superb return from injury. Kuldeep Yadav has taken us back to 2017 and 2018 where he was outstanding in ODIs. The pace bowlers are averaging just 21 in ODIs this year, and here is an opportunity to perhaps test bench strength.
