Here's everything you need to know about the predicted playing XI for India vs Bangladesh ICC Cricket World Cup match
Team India management, in all likelihood, won't make any changes to their batting lineup from their previous match against Pakistan. Mohammed Shami, who bagged five wickets against Australia just before the start of ODI World Cup 2023 tournament, might get a chance today in IND vs BAN ICC Cricket World Cup match to make his much-awaited ODI World Cup 2023 debut. Star pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj have been effective with the new ball, while Hardik's role as the third pace bowler is certain. Team India might rest Bumrah to include Shami. The pitch in Pune has short boundaries and is known to be a batters' paradise, keeping this in mind, the team management might include Shardul Thakur (pace bowling all-rounder) in place of R Ashwin.
