Cricket is the biggest sport in Southeast Asia; its popularity is especially substantial in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, the former colonies of the British. The two largest countries in the region are India and Bangladesh. Their matches always draw a huge number of people and end up being immensely exciting.

After a glorious win over their arch-rivals, Pakistan, India will be going against Bangladesh in their next fixture of the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 campaign. India is sitting at the top of the table after winning all three matches played so far. Bangladesh, on the other hand, has won just one of the three matches played. It would be a difficult task to win against India and create another upset in the tournament.

India and Bangladesh will face off in the 17th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at Pune's Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium on Thursday, October 19. India has a dominant head-to-head record against Bangladesh in ODIs, having won 31 of 40 matches. However, Bangladesh has won three of their last five ODI encounters against India, including a win in the Asia Cup 2023 group stage last month.
