Bangladesh will face favorites India In their first match of the ICC 2025 Champions Trophy. The confrontation will be the second in the tournament and is expected to take place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium Thursday, February 20.
Bangladesh has not done well in the ODIs lately. They only managed to win only of their last five ODI series. Last year, they lost the Odi series against Afghanistan and the Antilles and will need something special to beat India in shape.
While the Bangladesh seeks to cause an upheaval in the Champions Trophy, we take a look at Bangladesh by playing 11 for their match against India.
Bangladesh playing 11 against India-icc Champions Trophy 2025, Match 2:
Ouvers: Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Soumya Sarkar
Tanzid Hasan and Soumya Sarkar should be the openers of Bangladesh by playing 11 for the next match. The two players will try to counter the formidable attack on India and give their team a good start with the bat.
Tanzid experienced a good release in the ODI series of three games against the Antilles in December. He started the series with 60s and 46 before recording a duck in the last match.
Unlike Tanzid, Sarkar had trouble races against the Caribbean outfit very early, but managed to finish the series on a good note.
The left -handed drummer recorded scores of 19 and 2 in the first two ODIs before scoring 73 points in the third match. Sarkar is more experienced than Tanzid and Bangladesh hopes that it will deliver with the battle at the top of the order.
The drummers of the average order and the Allrounders: Najmul Hossain Shanto (C), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Jaker Ali (WK), Rishad Hossain
Captain Najmul Halsa Shanto wishes to lead his team before in the next match. He missed the series against the Antilles and recently fought with the Premier League bat of Bangladesh. Shanto will see a better screen with the bat in the Champions Trophy.
In the absence of Shanto, Mehidy Hasan Miraz had led Bangladesh against the Antilles. Even if the Bangladesh lost the series, Mehidy managed to impress with the bat. He recorded 74, 1 and 77 in the series and will also seek to contribute to the bat against India.
The very classified drummer Towhid Hridoy will also be a key player from Bangladesh by playing 11. Hridoy has so far played 33 ODI and has scored 877 points with the help of seven half-century.
The veteran drummer Mahmudullah will be another key member of Bangladesh by playing 11. The right -wing drummer was in sublime form against the Antilles and finished the three -game series as a higher scorer. In three games, he scored 196 points and will also seek to deliver with the bat against India.
While the former Captain Mushfiqur Rahim is in the team, Jaker Ali could have his head in front of him at Bangladesh by playing after his impressive display against the Antilles. He had scored 113 points against the Antilles in the three game series. Rise Halsain should be the Bangladesh Allrouner by playing 11.
Quicks: Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Nasum Ahmed
Bangladesh is likely to play the game with two fast quisors and a spinner. Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman should be the two front line pacers while Nasum Ahmed should be the only specialized spinner in Bangladesh playing 11.
