Tournament Context
This marks India's opening match in Group A, where they're paired with Pakistan, Bangladesh, and New Zealand. All of India's group stage matches will be played in Dubai under a special hybrid model, as India will not travel to Pakistan for the tournament.
What to Expect
India enters the match with strong recent form, having won three of their last five ODI matches. Bangladesh, led by Najmul Hossain Shanto, faces an uphill battle after losing three of their recent bilateral series and playing without veteran all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, who is currently suspended from bowling.
The match will be played under lights at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, which has a capacity of 25,000 spectators. The winner will gain crucial early momentum in their bid to reach the semifinals, as only two teams from each group will advance to the knockout stage.
