The Indian Cricket Team will look to register their fourth successive win as they will face Bangladesh at Pune on 19th October 2023. It promises to be an exciting fixture as Men in Blue produced a dominating display defeating Pakistan by 7 wickets.
It was a superb bowling effort by Indian bowlers as they skittled out Pakistan for 191. Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Hardik Pandya and Siraj took 2 wickets each. In reply, Rohit Sharma looked in sublime touch putting the Pakistan bowlers under immense pressure.
On the other hand, Bangladesh will look to get their tournament back on track. They lost their previous match against New Zealand by 8 wickets. Their batting looked out of sorts as Rahim and Shakib AL Hasan, Mahmudullah made some valuable contributions.

The pitch offers little assistance to the pace bowlers initially before it becomes a belter of pitch to bat on. MCA Stadium, Pune has not hosted a One-day international match since March 2021, but it promises a brilliant pitch.
The captain that wins the toss would likely chase down the target with dew around the corner which will make batting easy the second time around.
