Rohit Sharma vs Mustafizur Rahman:
With the team now eyeing Champions Trophy glory, the onus will be on Rohit to deliver with the bat. The India captain, however, has not looked at his best in recent times. Although he recently scored a century against England, he was out for single-digit scores in the other two games.
Mahmudullah will be a big threat for Team India in the upcoming IND vs BAN match. The veteran batsman has been one of Bangladesh's key players for more than a decade now and his team will be relying on him heavily once again.
India will be well aware of the threat posed by Mahmudullah and will be hoping that their spin spearhead Kuldeep Yadav dismisses him as early as possible.
Shreyas Iyer vs Nasum Ahmed:
The India batsman was in sublime form during the three-match ODI series against England. In three games, he registered scores of 59, 44, and 78 and will be eyeing a good outing against Bangladesh too.
IND vs BAN Key Players
BAN - Najmul Hossain Shanto, Soumya Sarkar, Tawhid Hridoy, Jaker Ali Anik, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mahmudullah, and Taskin Ahmed will be the key players for Bangladesh.
IND vs BAN Weather And Pitch Report:
The pitch at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is expected to be slow and it won't be easy for the batters to play their shots.
Conclusion:
India and Bangladesh will be keen to start their Champions Trophy campaign on a winning note. India have momentum with them and they will look to make the most of it.
Bangladesh have not done well in recent times but are more than capable of springing a surprise or two now and then.
