India vs Bangladesh Predictions

India are huge favourites again for the second Test, so the value in once again in the run scoring markets. I am backing Shubman Gill to continue where he left off in the first Test.

India have won their last 5 Test matches.
India have won their last 6 Test matches against Bangladesh.
India’s Shubman Gill scored 119 runs in his last Test innings.
Bangladesh’s Najmul Hossain Shanto scored 82 runs in his last Test innings.

Head to Head

India have won their last six matches against Bangladesh. The first Test match of this series saw India win by 280 runs.

India Form

India were rampant in the first Test against Bangladesh, winning by 280 runs. However, batting first, they were in trouble at 34-3 and 144-6 before Ravi Ashwin (113) and Ravindra Jadeja (86) took the hosts to a total of 376.

Jasprit Bumrah then took 4-50 as India bowled Bangladesh out for 149 but did not enforce the follow-on. Two more early wickets fell but Shubman Gill (119) and Rishabh Pant (109) saw India declare on 287-4.

Ravi Ashwin, who didn’t take any wickets in the first innings, returned figures of 6-88 in 21 overs. Bangladesh were all out for 234 runs.

I don’t see any big changes to the side. The only thing to consider will be the pitch conditions and that may force a change among the bowlers.

Bangladesh Form

Bangladesh will be disappointed with their showing in the first test which they lost by 280 runs against India. In particular, the batsmen who failed to perform.

After bowling first and restricting India to 144-6, The Tigers would have hoped for better than 376 runs. However, the bowlers struggled against the host’s lower order.

In reply, Bangladesh could only muster 149 runs before India went back out to bat, scoring 287 before declaring. This left Bangladesh needing 515 to win, a target that was never in reach.

Najmul Hossain Shanto showed some fight with the bat, scoring 82 runs but Bangladesh were all out for 234.

Despite a heavy loss, Bangladesh won’t make wholesale changes to their side.

Verdict

India v Bangladesh

I am backing Shubman Gill to score 50+ runs in the first innings and also top score for India.

Najmul Hossain Shanto is backed in the best batsman market for the visitors.
