ICC Champions Trophy 2025
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 features eight teams competing over two weeks. The first round begins February 19 and 20, while semi-finals and the final are set to take place March 4 and 5. If India qualify, matches will be played at Dubai International Cricket Stadium; otherwise matches could move to Pakistan’s Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore for final matches. The winning team of this two-week tournament will receive $2.24 Million as prize money.
India and Bangladesh have an intense rivalry when competing in International Cricket Council events, often meeting in memorable encounters like 2007 ODI World Cup where Bangladesh famously stunned India in the semifinals. Since then, India has held a commanding edge across all formats against Bangladesh; winning 13 out of 15 encounters while only winning one being won by Bangladesh; also, out of 17 T20I matches played between them (16 won by India with one ending in a draw).
India and Bangladesh will compete against South Africa, Australia and New Zealand at this year’s Champions Trophy tournament; Pakistan and Sri Lanka did not make it due to security reasons.
The inaugural ICC Champions Trophy took place in 1998 and is widely considered to be second only to the World Cup as an important tournament. Featuring seven of the top Test-playing nations at qualification time, this knockout tournament offers iconic white jackets as a prize to winners. Since 2012, seven different winners have emerged from this tournament, with India and Pakistan each winning three times, Australia twice, and New Zealand once. Each year features a different host location; 2025’s edition will take place in Pakistan. This competition will consist of two semi-finals and a final, with all matches live-streamed via ICC platforms. Hosted in Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi with India playing their matches at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
Tests
On September 19, India and Bangladesh will compete in their inaugural test match in Chennai. Both sides will aim to start their seasons off well; India hopes to extend its unbeaten home record, while Bangladesh seeks to defeat India for the first time ever in test history. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill have shown impressive form recently and should carry that into this series of tests.
Bangladesh are coming off a 2-0 series win against Pakistan and have an excellent batting lineup consisting of Soumya Sarkar and Tanzid Hasan as experienced batsmen, Nazmul Hossain Shanto and MD Mahmudullah as reliable middle-order options, all led by skipper Mahmudullah who has plenty of experience against India.
Both teams will look to improve their performances with the ball, and should do so over the coming matches. India’s spinners – including Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja – have been outstanding at home, and this will continue as they head towards an important Australia tour later in 2015.
Bangladesh’s primary strength will be their batting, and they could give India a run for their money in the test series. Litton Das is an exciting young batsman who will look to make an impressionful statement with the bat, while experienced players such as Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehidy Hasan Miraz should help score big runs for Bangladesh. Additionally, Bangladesh have several quality bowlers like Mustafizur Rahman who excelled in the one day internationals against Pakistan; hopefully he can replicate this form in tests against India.
ODIs
India and Bangladesh’s rivalry is one of the most riveting in international cricket. This is especially evident when these teams meet in one-day internationals (ODIs), played on larger stadiums with more players. India have won 32 out of 41 ODI meetings against Bangladesh; these competitions also took place at major tournaments like ICC Champions Trophy and World Cup.
India stands a good chance of victory against Bangladesh in this series, yet they should not underestimate their rivals – Bangladeshi Tigers have taken India close on multiple occasions in recent years – most notably coming close to beating India at Asia Cup final before succumbing to late run outs from Rohit Sharma. Additionally, Bengal Tigers have improved with both bat and ball since Rohit Sharma took charge, featuring strong bowling unit led by Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan, and Mehidy Hasan Miraz.
India, fresh off a brief tour to Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka, have come back with an extremely powerful squad to take on Bangladesh. Their lineup boasts some star batsmen like Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant, alongside young talent such as Mohammad Amir and Hardik Pandya in its pace attack.
Both teams will look to win their opener and kickstart their Champions Trophy campaigns on a strong note. The Dubai International Cricket Stadium provides the ideal environment for this matchup, having hosted both previous ODIs between them.
Both teams will face off in three ODI matches and one T20I between September 19 and November 2. Both sides have had mixed performances this year in Test matches; Bangladesh won one, but two have ended in draws, surprising many given that these teams have long had an intense rivalry when playing one-day internationals (ODIs). It remains to be seen which of them can improve.
T20Is
India and Bangladesh have battled it out on the cricket pitch over time, producing some nail-biting encounters on the field. Both teams will look to prove themselves against each other when they face each other at the ICC Champions Trophy match at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on February 20. Though India has historically held their edge against Bangladesh, their recent success can’t be overlooked; three out of the last five ODI wins by Bangladesh provide optimism for their chances in this matchup.
Indian cricket team is widely recognized as one of the top teams worldwide. Boasting an impressive roster that ranges from the legendary M.S. Dhoni to current captain Virat Kohli and distinguished fielding and bowling skills that have won them several tournaments and trophies in various formats; yet unfortunately they have struggled against arch-rival Bangladesh at times.
Though they may rank below India in terms of ranking, Bangladesh cricket team have shown its mettle over recent years. Pushing them hard on many occasions and even leading in 2018 Asia Cup final, Bangladesh hope to use home advantage to their advantage and claim another series win in their favor in this series.
Starting September 19th, India and Bangladesh will compete in four Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is). India enters this series after winning T20 World Cup while Bangladesh secured a 2-0 series win over Sri Lanka; both nations will look to maintain momentum from previous victories to secure semi-final spots in this tournament.
India and Bangladesh have competed 17 times in T20Is; India has won 16 and Bangladesh one. Both teams also met twice during an ICC Twenty20 Global League game; this event may not count as an official T20I by the ICC but still serves to build upon their growing rivalry.
