India vs Bangladesh Predictions


India are dominant on home soil and are thus comfortable favourites. However, Bangladesh played some good Test cricket recently and should be confident of putting in some good performances.

The key here would be to see how The Tigers handle the Indian spinners. The value for me is in the run scoring markets with Rohit Sharma and Mushfiqur Rahim in stellar form.

  • India have won their last 4 Test matches.
  • India’s Rohit Sharma has scored 50+ runs in 3 of his last 5 Test innings.
  • India’s Rohit Sharma has scored 100+ in 2 of his last 3 Test matches.
  • Bangladesh’s Mushfiqur Rahim scored 191 runs in the 1st Test against Pakistan.
  • Bangladesh have won their last 2 Test matches.

Head to Head


India have won their last five matches against Bangladesh. They last met in 2022.

India Form


This will be India’s first Test cricket since March this year where they beat England by an innings and 64 runs at home.

In that five-match series against England, India suffered a rare defeat in the first Test in Hyderabad but bounced back to win the next four.

On home soil, India have become an extremely tough side to beat, and they will be looking to maintain that proud record. This is also an opportunity to cash in on the World Test Championship.

India Injuries & Team News


Rohit Sharma captains the Indian side that includes all their top players. Virat Kohli will certainly be looking for some Test match runs while Jasprit Bumrah, Ravi Ashwin, Ravidra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav make up for a very strong bowling unit.

Bangladesh Form


Bangladesh will come into this series high on confidence after beating Pakistan 2-0 away from home in a recent series. It was a shock result given Pakistan’s performances over the last few years.

The Tigers were however dogged in their approach and the batsmen stood up big time in both games. In the first Test, Mushfiqur Rahim scored a magnificent 191 runs to lay the foundation for the victory.

In the second Test, it was a superb Litton Das 138 runs that dug Bangladesh out of a hole as they were 26-6 in their first innings.

The pitch will decide on the amount of spinners Bangladesh field; however, the batting lineup is likely to look the same as against Pakistan.

Verdict

Rohit Sharma is backed to top score for India and score 50+ runs in the first innings.

For Bangladesh, Mushfiqur Rahim's form is worth considering.
