In the second ICC Champions Trophy 2025 match, India is ready to take on Bangladesh. India needs to start their ICC Champions Trophy campaign on high in order to showcase their strong contenders for the Title. As Bumrah is already out of this tournament, in his absence, the Indian team will try to give Harshit Rana, and Arshdeep Singh, some game time before the knockout stage as they are not very experienced in ODIs with less than 15 matches combined.
Also, Indian captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli looked good in the last ODI series against England, they will try to consolidate their form in the match against Bangladesh. On the Other hand, Bangladesh will try to give their best and compete with India, and by any chance, if Bangladesh wins this match, they can eliminate India from the ICC Champions Trophy.

IND vs BAN Weather & Pitch Report
Dubai is known for its typically dry and sunny conditions and is expected to maintain a clear sky for the India vs Bangladesh encounter. According to the latest weather updates, there is little to no chance of rain. That means viewers will get a full match without any interruption of rain.
Looking at the wicket, it appears very batting-friendly. However, it will also help pacers in terms of swing and bounce with the new ball as we have seen in the matches in the IPL. A fresh and bouncy wicket will allow the ball to come onto the bat easily with a little bit more pace, making strokeplay efficient but at the same time a little difficult for batters. The first-inning average score on this ground is 230 runs, so the team batting first needs to score 250+ runs to make the match interesting and a little bit in their favour.
As the previous record shows this pitch favours who bats second, the team who wins the toss might elect to bowl first and start their campaign on a high note.
Average 1st Innings Score
The average first innings total at the Dubai International Stadium is only 230 runs. However, in a Tournament like the ICC Champions Trophy Team that will bat first will try to put at least 250+ runs on the board.
Chasing Record
The chasing teams have a better record than the teams batting first at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Out of the 58 ODIs played at the venue, teams batting first have won 34 games while teams batting first have won 22 games.

Bangladesh hasn’t played any ODIs since December
Bangladesh played their last ODI series against the West Indies in December where they faced a heavy defeat and got cleanly swept 3-0 by the West Indies team in a three-match ODI series. They haven’t played an ODI since then, but we have seen pretty good performances from the Bangladesh team also in that series where players like Mahmudullah were the top scorer of the series with 196 runs scored in 3 matches.
After that, Mehidy Hasan Miraz was the second top scorer from the Bangladesh team who scored 152 runs in 3 matches. In the bowling department, there are players like Rishad Hossain and Nahid Rana who showed great performances with the ball and became the top two wicket-takers from the Bangladesh team.
Then there are talented players like Towhid Hridoy, Jaker Ali, and Tanzim Hasan Sakib who are also capable of displaying good performance with bat and ball, and then there is the captain of the team, Nazmul Hossain Shanto, who is a top-order pretty experienced batter who can handle the pressure at crucial stages with his batting as well as captaincy skills, so this Bangladesh side is also looking very good for the first match against India.
IND Expected Playing 11
Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill (VC), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami.
The Indian team is coming from a victorious performance recently against England in a three-match series played in India where they whitewashed the England Team by 3-0. Every Member of the Indian Squad is looking in great touch, Virat and Rohit looked in and out of form both of them have scored one 50+ score but in other matches, they didn’t score much, also Virat has been seen getting out to a Leg-spinner in a same manner in both the matches, this might be a matter which needs to be catered.
However, Virat Kohli is an experienced player and can play a good inning at any point in time as he played in the Finals of the ICC T20 World Cup. Indian Fast Bowling lineup also looks not that strong as Shami is coming up from a long break after he got injured in World Cup 2023 and since his return he hasn’t looked as good as he was in the 2023 World Cup. Except for him Indian Team only has Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana as their main Fast Bowlers in the squad and is very inexperienced in ODIs. Overall This team is very balanced with experienced players and youngsters. Having world-class batters, bowlers and all-rounders.

Predictions for IND vs BAN Match 2
Score Prediction for BAN vs IND Encounter
Considering the average first-innings score of 230 and the fact that both these teams have many high-quality international batters in their line-ups, a first-innings score of around 260-270 could be expected in the match.
Toss Prediction for BAN vs IND Encounter:
The Dubai International Cricket Stadium has favoured the team batting second, and it is evident by the earlier stats that 63% of the total matches played in this stadium were won by the team batting second. It indicates that the pitch might get easier to bat on in the second innings of the match.
In the second match of the Champions Trophy 2025, If India’s skipper Rohit Sharma wins the toss and he will elect to bowl first so that pacers like Mohammad Shami, Arshdeep Singh, and Hardik Pandya can use the fresh wicket with a new ball and take advantage of the extra pace and bounce from the wicket and trouble the batters. Then in the second innings, the star-studded batting lineup of India, including Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shreyas Iyer, can chase the target with their batting skills easily. This might be the thing that must go on around the Indian team management before their first match of the Champions Trophy 2025.
If Bangladesh wins the toss they will also elect to bowl first as they know about the strong batting lineup of India and they can chase any target set by them. so after winning the toss Bangladesh will choose to bowl first and while batting second put the young bowling lineup of India under pressure.
BAN vs IND Players to perform prediction
Bangladesh’s Top 3 Performer Prediction
The top three players who are expected to perform for Bangladesh in the first game against India are Mahmudullah, Soumya Sakar and Mustafizur Rahim.
- Mahmudullah is one of Bangladesh’s most experienced player, who is known for his ability to play strokes freely around the ground. His recent performance against the West Indies underscores his value to the Bangladesh squad, where he emerged as the top run-scorer with 196 runs in 3 innings at an exceptional average of 196.
- Soumya Sarkar, a left-handed top-order batsman, brings considerable experience to the team. He has been a member of the Bangladesh squad for a long, he has proved his importance in many crucial matches and changed the dynamics of the match single-handedly with his powerful strokes. His additional ability to contribute with occasional bowling and strong fielding makes him a versatile asset to the team.
- Mustafizur Rahman, a left-arm medium pacer, who has exceptional bowling awareness allows him to be effective across all phases of the game, whether in powerplay, middle overs, or death overs. His deceptive slower ball, particularly difficult for batsmen to read, has earned him recognition as one of cricket’s most cunning bowlers. Bangladesh’s bowling success heavily depends on Mustafizur’s performance, making him crucial to their chances of victory in the opening match. In previous seasons of IPL, he has been a consistent performer for Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
India’s Top 3 Performer Prediction
The top three players who are expected to perform for India in the first game against Bangladesh are Shreyas Iyer, Shubhman Gill, and Hardik Pandya.
- Shreyas Iyer looked in Red Hot form since he returned to the ODI setup of the Indian Team. In the previous series against England, he was not in the plans as Yashashvi Jaiswal and Shubhman Gill were ahead of him, But Virat was not fit for the first match and that gave Shreyas Iyer a chance in the team and he grabbed that opportunity with both hands and played an important role in whitewashing the England Team in the ODI Series. His attacking play in the middle overs keeps the run rate higher for the team and that puts the opposition under huge pressure.
- Shubhman Gill has played effortlessly throughout the series against England and consistently scored runs in all three matches. He is the top scorer of the series with 259 runs in 3 innings at an excellent average of 86.33. And the Century in the last match is the proof of his current form.
- Hardik Pandya is one of the perfect all-rounders in the cricketing world right now, who showed some phenomenal performances in the last T20 World Cup also where his contribution was important in making India the T20 World Champion. His last inning in the Champions Trophy is still alive in our memories, his batting position and batting style both are dynamic which depend on the situation. His Bowling and fielding skills are also which is required by the team India and he will be a player to watch out for.
BAN vs IND Match Prediction
India will not face any difficulties in beating Bangladesh in the first match of the ICC Champion Trophy as they are in sublime form, coming victorious from the series against England by beating them 3-0 in a three-match series. However, Bangladesh will try to give competition to the Indian team, but this match may be one-sided in the favour of India, Indian Team will win this contest.
