Team News: Bangladesh will gamble on an additional player?
India is unlikely to change its winning combination. The small ground dimensions and flat pitch could mean that Shardul Thakur is likely to keep his place ahead of R Ashwin.
India (possible): 1 Rohit Sharma (captain), 2 Shubman Gill, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Shreyas Iyer, 5 KL Rahul (wk), 6 Hardik Pandya, 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 Shardul Thakur, 9 Jasprit Bumrah, 10 Kuldeep Yadav, 11 Mohammed Lamp.
Bangladesh could be tempted to promote Mehidy Hasan Miraz to open with Liton and Mushfiqur could also bat higher up the order. The question is whether Bangladesh will look to bolster their bowling by sacrificing some batting depth.
Bangladesh (possible): 1 Tanzid Hasan, 2 Litton Das, 3 Najmul Hossain Shanto, 4 Shakib Al Hasan (capt), 5 Towhid Hridoy, 6 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), 7 Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 8 Mahmudullah, 9 Taskin Ahmed, 10 Shoriful Islam, 11 Mustafizur Rahman
Pitch and Conditions: High scores in Pune?
Since 2017, teams batting first have scored more than 300 totals in three out of five ODIs in Pune, although this will be the first ODI at the venue in nine months. There was some rain on the eve of the match but the forecast was for sunshine on match day.
STATISTICS & TRIVIA: The 25-year wait is over
When you participate in the World Cup, every team will challenge you. So, from our perspective, I don’t think we’ll take anyone lightly.
