India vs Bangladesh Prediction: India will lock horns against Bangladesh to commence their Champions Trophy 2025 campaign on Thursday (February 20) in Dubai.

The two neighbouring nations will collide in a Group A encounter as both look for a winning start to the tournament. India will play all their matches in Dubai after they refused to play in Pakistan citing security reasons.

India finished as runners-up in the last edition of the Champions Trophy, whereas Bangladesh were beaten semifinalists in the same. As the Tigers take on the mighty Indian side, they will be hoping to gain confidence from their World Cup 2007 memories.

India vs Bangladesh Prediction: Who will Win IND vs BAN Match 2?

Traditionally, India has maintained dominance over Bangladesh in One Day Internationals (ODIs). Out of 41 encounters, India has emerged victorious 32 times, while Bangladesh has secured 8 wins, with one match ending without a result.

Coming into Champions Trophy 2025, Rohit Sharma and his troops recently beat England comprehensively in an ODI series. Bangladesh have been decent in the 50-over format and Najmul Hossain Shanto will be optimistic about troubling the star-studded Indian side.

IND vs BAN Champions Trophy 2025 Prediction: The Tigers face a big challenge without Shakib Al Hasan but remain competitive. Dubai's conditions favour batters and spinners, suiting both teams. While Bangladesh has the potential to pull off an upset, India's experience and recent form make them favourites to win this contest.
