India and Bangladesh have played 41 ODIs against each other. The IND vs BAN head-to-head in ODI record is ruled by the 2013 champions. They have 32 games against their neighboring nation and have lost only eight. When the two teams meet in Dubai, India will be aware of their record. A strong head-to-head record can provide an extra layer of confidence to the ‘Men in Blue’.

India and Bangladesh have played against each other twice at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. As is the case with the overall record, the IND vs BAN head-to-head record at the venue is dominated by India. They played against each other during the Asia Cup in 2018. India won the first match-up comfortably with seven wickets in hand and more than 13 overs to spare. The following game went the distance as India won by three wickets on the final ball of the match.
Scotland’s Richie Berrington holds the record for scoring the most runs in the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Mushfiqur Rahim is the only player to feature in the stats for the stadium from the IND vs BAN head-to-head. The wicketkeeper batter could play a huge role in today’s game as well.
There have been 58 matches at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. 34 of these games have been won by teams that bowled first in the first innings. Chasing the target is relatively easier at the venue with the presence of dew in day/night games. However, in recent times with some of the games in ILT20 being played at the stadium, dew did not play a huge role. The captain winning the toss would be tempted to bowl first given the track record of the stadium. However, the toss would have little effect on the result of IND vs BAN head-to-head in the upcoming match.
Shakib Al Hasan’s importance can be measured through his stats against India. The former Bangladeshi all-rounder would be a big miss as he holds the record for most wickets, best bowling economy, and best bowling strike rate.
Virat Kohli holds the record for scoring the most runs in IND vs BAN head-to-head matches. The former Indian skipper has scored 910 runs against them. With five centuries, Kohli also holds the record for scoring the most tons in this fixture. The right-handed batter will be crucial for India’s success in the game as well as the rest of the tournament.
The India vs Bangladesh clash in the Champions Trophy 2025 will feature some great cricketers. These players will have an added responsibility on their shoulders to put their teams in great positions. Both India and Bangladesh have had a rich history of great players who have performed brilliantly in this fixture.
Shubman Gill will be the most important batter for the Indian cricket team when they go against Bangladesh. The right-handed opening batter has been in great form leading to the ICC tournament. Gill was named the Player of the Series in the recently concluded three-match series against England. In three innings, he scored 259 runs including a century and two half-centuries. His batting average of 60 is best among players with at least 2,000 runs.
Hardik Pandya is one of the most important players in the Indian team setup. The seam-bowling all-rounder provides an opportunity for India to play with batting options up to number eight. His bowling prowess has allowed Pandya to play as the third seamer in most conditions. Pandya along with Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel forms a crucial all-rounder trio for the two-time champions. Even though he did not have the best time in the three matches against England, the MI skipper is someone who saves his best for the biggest tournaments.
Kuldeep Yadav is arguably one of the best spinners in cricket currently. The left-arm wrist spinner is at his best when it comes to ODIs. Since the start of 2023, Kuldeep has picked up 55 wickets in 34 innings. He averages less than 22 and has conceded runs at 4.5 runs per over. His subtle variations make Yadav very difficult to read from the hand. With an increase in his speed through the air the spinner has enjoyed great success in recent years.
Bangladeshi skipper, Najmul Hossain Shanto has been a great batter for the Asian nation. The limited number of games in the format has meant that Shanto’s skills haven’t been witnessed by many fans. Since the start of 2023, he has scored 1,278 runs at an average of more than 45. His strike rate during the period has been underwhelming, however, if the tracks at Dubai are indeed slow then that might not be an issue. Shanto holds a pretty bad record against India having scored 36 runs in nine innings against them. He would need to improve significantly on his record if Bangladesh stands any chance of defeating India.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz by many has been touted to be Bangladesh’s replacement for Shakib Al Hasan. Even though those are pretty big shoes to fill, Hasan seems to be on the right track. As a batter, Miraz has enjoyed varying levels of success. In 2022, he scored 330 runs averaging 66. He took 24 wickets at 28.2 apiece in the year. However, since then while he has earned a promotion in the batting order, his average has dipped quite significantly. His bowling performances too have gone downhill, but Miraz has a decent record against India. One of his two centuries has come against them and he averages 46 with the bat against them.
Mustafizur Rahman has one of the best bowling records among players who will be playing in the IND vs BAN head-to-head in the marquee tournament. The left-arm pacer has taken three of his five 5-wicket hauls against India. In 12 games against them, Rahman has picked up 25 wickets at an average of 21.88. In 2024, the 29-year-old played four games and picked up 10 wickets at an average of 18.4. He will be an important player bowling in the powerplay.
