Delhi: The second match of ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be played between the Indian cricket team and Bangladesh at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on 20 February. There is no doubt that Team India’s pan will be heavy against Bangladesh, but it is also a matter that in the last few years, Bangladesh team has shown amazing game in international cricket. This is the reason that Team India has to be careful than being more excited. Despite this, I know what will be the format of the pitch of Dubai Cricket Stadium and which team will see the benefit here.
Indian Team of Strength Is it Player
Team India is the biggest contender to win its first match of this tournament, as its record against Bangladesh is also strong. Recently, the Indian team will land in the match after swipping England in a three -match domestic ODI series against England, where India has a strong batting lineup including Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul. At the same time, there are experienced players like Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja in bowling. Overall, even without Jasprit Bumrah, the bowling attack of Team India is quite fatal.
Bangladeshi To Will get Tight Collision
Experienced players like Bangladesh team’s Mehndi Hasan Miraj, Mushfiqur Rahim and Taskin Ahmed will try to give a tough competition to India. On one side, Bangladesh has a big match winner as Mehndi Hasan Miraj, while smuggle Ahmed who bowls fast with a new ball. The batsmen will have to be careful with them. After Shakib Al Hasan is out, the most experienced player in the Bangladesh team is Mushfiqur Rahim, whose experience the team can use. Despite this, Team India’s bowling and batting lineup can bother Bangladesh, because at this time all the players are in a fantastic form, who have played ODI matches for a long time. When India faced Bangladesh in the Asia Cup 2023, Bangladesh defeated India by 6 runs.
pitch Report
The pitch that India will get in Dubai will not be compared to before. Dubai Stadium has two fresh pitch, which has not been used for any kind of match recently and it is believed that the pitch will not be slow as before. The pitch will be slightly sharp, which will benefit the spinner. If the spinner puts a little fast ball, then he can put a wicket. This is the reason that the selectors of Team India have given 5 spinners a chance in the team. As the match progresses, the position of the batsmen gets better, but spinners can be effective in the middle over. So far 58 ODIs have been held here, where the team has defended their score while batting 22 times, the team who batted in the second innings 34 times won. The average score of the first innings here is 218 while the average in the second innings is 198 runs. Bowling can be given priority here by winning the toss, because on the second makes the batting easier and reduces the influence of the spinner in the second inning.
