India vs bangladesh pitch report: The recent ups and downs in cricket have made India mandatory for India to perform brilliantly in the Champions Trophy and its first match against Bangladesh on Thursday will be the first step towards removing the current questions related to this team. India is among the strong contenders before the tournament, but this bowling unit will be able to perform well by recovering from the absence of injured fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah? Will Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma be able to bring back their brilliant days? Will young players like Shubman Gill consistently perform well and be able to withstand the pressure of the competition with the presence of many countries?
In this context, this prestigious tournament of the International Cricket Council is like a boon as India’s legends and young players feel comfortable in the ODI format and they will expect a good performance here. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Kohli, Rohit and even head coach Gautam Gambhir do not have much time because the impact of the failures received against New Zealand and Australia has not diminished.
Although there are some good signs. Captain Rohit scored a brilliant century against England a few days ago and Kohli scored a half-century, while India registered a spectacular win of 4-1 and 3-0 in T20 International and ODI series respectively under the guidance of Gambhir. Gill performed brilliantly and became the Player of the Tournament by scoring a century and two fifties in the three ODI series against England.
However, the challenge before India in the Champions Trophy is quite different from the domestic series. In Group A India’s rival Bangladesh, Pakistan and New Zealand have recently seen more inspired than England faced with him and a necklace can also change the entire equation of the league stage. Although India has done well in 50 -over cricket in the recent past, they will have to solve some puzzles related to selection before facing Bangladesh.
How will Dubai pitch
The interest of the fans is also about what effect Dubai’s pitch will show. The stadium has hosted a large -scale cricket Games from last year’s Women’s T20 World Cup to men’s U19 Asia Cup and LT20, which means that the pitches can be of slow nature.
But if the grassroots reports of the United Arab Emirates are to be believed, there are two fresh pitches in Dubai that can be used, meaning that it can help fast bowlers before helping spinners in the middle overs. However, as the match progresses, the pitch is expected to be better for batting. Dew will be an important factor in the match, which can force the captain who won the toss to bowl first.
How Dubai Stadium data
Dubai International Cricket Stadium has held 58 ODIs so far. In which the average of the first innings is 218 score. The team that batted first has won 22 matches at this place, while the team that chased the target has won on 34 occasions.
England have the record for the biggest score on this ground, who scored 355/5 against Pakistan in 2015. While Namibia has a record of the most lowest score here, which was all-out for 91 runs against the United Arab Emirates in 2023.
Will the rain become a villain
The rain in Dubai is rare, but when it rains, it wreakes havoc on the city. The whole country stopped in the rains that occurred last year. Dubai received rain a few days ago and it is expected to be cloudy till Thursday. In such a situation, the weather can make it difficult for the Indian team. The weather forecast for the next 24 hours is not very good. There is a possibility of cloudy during the entire match.
