When is Team India's next match: Date, Time & Opposition

Team India ended a largely disappointing 2022 on a positive note, beating Bangladesh by three wickets in the Dhaka Test on Sunday, December 25. With the win, the visitors also clinched the two-match series by a 2-0 margin. While India emerged triumphant in the first Test in Chattogram by a comfortable margin of 188 runs, they were pushed hard by Bangladesh in Dhaka.

Chasing 145, Team India stumbled to 74/7. However, an unbeaten eighth-wicket stand of 71 between Ravichandran Ashwin (42*) and Shreyas Iyer (29*) saved them from a massive embarrassment, ensuring India ended the year on a winning note. It was a much-needed confidence booster for the side, having lost the ODI series 1-2.

Overall, 2022 has been a hugely disappointing year for Team India.

Apart from the ODI series loss in Bangladesh, they lost the Test series in South Africa, were thrashed by 10 wickets in the T20 World Cup semi-final, and failed to reach the Asia Cup final. India will be hoping for much better luck in 2023.
