India are up and away. They have done almost everything right in their first three ICC World Cup 2023 games and are now the team to beat, along with South Africa. With the Rohit Sharma-led side playing like a cohesive unit and backing each other up with valuable contributions whenever the team needs them, the signs are ominous for the rest of the world as the hosts mount a strong campaign to win the coveted ODI World Cup trophy for the third time. Up next against them are the stuttering Bangladesh, who started well with an easy win against Afghanistan but suffered a rude awakening in the form of sobering defeats to New Zealand and Pakistan.

But India know full well that Bangladesh are a side one can never discount. They have time and again sprung up surprises and become all the more potent in sun-continental conditions, which aid their spinners. Shakib Al Hasan is a skipper who, on his day, can lead from the front with both bat and ball, and would dearly wish to do that against India with his wily left-arm spin as well as destructive batting.
The home team don't have to do anything radically different to come up trumps. They have a nicely balanced team and a settled combination, and will aim to unsettle the Bangladeshis with their aggressive brand of cricket.
