Head-to-Head Record IND vs BAN
India and Bangladesh have faced each other 14 times in T20I cricket, with the men in blue dominating the record. India have won 13 of those games while Bangladesh’s only win came in 2019.
India
India are in their new era of T20 internationals, with Suryakumar Yadav at the helm. They played three matches against Sri Lanka in July, where they clinched the series by 3-0, including a super over victory in the final game. They are without several first-choice players in this series, which will give opportunities to some of the fringe players.
Bangladesh
Bangladesh haven’t played any T20 cricket since the T20 World Cup in June, where they had advanced through to the Super Eight. They won three out of four games in the first round, including a win over Sri Lanka. The Super Eight stage, however, didn’t go as they would’ve wanted, losing all three games.
