On Thursday, India and Bangladesh will take on each other in the second match of the ongoing Champions Trophy 2025. The much-anticipated encounter will take place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.
India and Bangladesh will be kicking off their Champions Trophy 2025 campaign with this match. The Men in Blue are coming into this match on the back of a one-sided series victory over England at home and will be hoping to continue their winning ways.
Meanwhile, the Bangla Tigers, who played in the semi-final of the last edition (2017), have only won one bilateral series since the 2023 World Cup in India. They will be looking to change their fortunes from the very first game and could be the biggest dark horses in the competition.
