Going by Cricket World Cup form, India will start favourites against Bangladesh. In the last five ODI matches between India and Bangladesh, two-time world champions India have prevailed. In recent clashes, India have beaten Bangladesh twice in the Asia Cup in September 2018. India won both matches chasing.
But conditions in Edgbaston will be different on Tuesday with the wicket and shorter boundaries quite a puzzle for bowlers and batsmen to sort out. England batted first to pile up a score in excess of 300 against India. Rohit Sharma's century went in vain as the Indian middle order could not accelerate in the final 10 overs. Bangladesh, a team of experienced players, can be a handful if the players are fully fit. Skipper Mashrafe Mortaza, Mushfiqur Rahim, Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudullah are all battling various forms of injuries.
