Bangladesh vs India Quick links

India finally ended their decade-long wait for an ICC title last year when they smashed all comers to win the men's T20 World Cup. Such has their recent dominance in the 50-over format been, however, they'll be desperate to avenge their 2023 WC final defeat by taking home the Champions Trophy.

Rohit Sharma leads an experienced group today, with Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya all in the XI. The only star name missing from the squad is the awesome seamer Jasprit Bumrah — though the likes of Mohammed Shami and Harshit Rana should prove more than capable backups.

Bangladesh are the rank outsiders at this year's tournament. They've been beaten by Afghanistan and the West Indies in their two most recent ODI series and it feels like a long time since their famous series victory over India in 2022. They'll need the likes of captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto, Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mushfiqur Rahim to step up if they have any chance of surprising India today.

Can they pull off an early shock in Dubai today? Shanto won the toss nad has decided to bat first. Below is all the information you need to live stream Bangladesh vs India and watch cricket online or on TV.
