Probable starting lineups for ODI World Cup match 17 between India and Bangladesh
India
India enters the match riding a three-match winning streak and is bursting with confidence. In the three games they have played so far, only one opponent has broken the 200-run barrier, demonstrating the amazing skill of their bowling unit. After a brief blip against Australia in the first game, the batting unit has recovered its intimidating form. The captain, Rohit Sharma, is in excellent form and will like to continue it against Bangladesh.
Predicted XI: Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (WK),
Bangladesh
Bangladesh has a serious problem that is mostly related to their batting unit, which has performed below expectations in their last two games. Their bowlers, who have shown promise in glimmers but haven’t had the luxury of defending challenging totals, have been hindered by the willow’s inconsistent nature. Mahedi Hasan could replace Towhid Hridoy. If Bangladesh hopes to pull off another unexpected triumph, it will be heavily up to seasoned competitors like captain Shakib Al Hasan and Litton Das to perform admirably.
Predicted starting lineup: Mahedi Hasan, Mahmudullah, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Shakib Al Hasan (C), Litton Das, Tanzid Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mushfiqur Rahim (WK).
