Who Has the Edge in the Series?

On paper, India holds the upper hand as the reigning T20 and Champions Trophy winners, with a deeper bench and better ICC rankings. But Bangladesh at home is a different beast.

The last time India toured here, they were pushed to the edge — losing the ODI series before bouncing back. The Tigers know their turf well and have upset top teams in the past.

Still, with a well-rounded squad and players eager to leave a mark, India looks set to challenge Bangladesh strongly across both formats.
