It will be Team India vs Bangladesh in match number 17 of the 2023 ODI World Cup at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Thursday. The Men in Blue have been fantastic in the competition so far, winning three out of three and living up to their favorites tag. In contrast, after beating Afghanistan, Bangladesh have gone down to England and New Zealand by big margins.
India hammered arch-rivals Pakistan by seven wickets in their last match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. They were brilliant with the ball, cleaning up Pakistan for a mediocre 191 in 42.5 overs. Skipper Rohit Sharma (86 off 63) and Shreyas Iyer (53* off 62) then starred in the chase as India registered victory by seven wickets.
Bangladesh, meanwhile, got beaten by the Kiwis by eight wickets in their previous World Cup clash. They managed only 245/9 batting first, a target New Zealand chased without trouble. Bangladesh, however, have beaten India in three of the last ODI four meetings between the teams, so that will give them confidence.

Today's IND vs BAN pitch report
According to Sanjay Manjrekar and Irfan Pathan, the pitch is a good one with a history of lot of runs. It's a pitch where seamers wouldn't mind bowling first or even under lights. It's a black soil pitch, there's grass covering which is not green, so it will hold the pitch nicely. Looks like a high-scoring pitch.
