India will take on Bangladesh in match two of the ongoing Champions Trophy. This will be a rematch of the last 2017 CT semis. That match was historic for Bangladesh, as it was the first time they made it to the knockouts of an ICC event. After eight years, Bangladesh is still seeking its maiden ICC final appearance, while its counterparts are a force to reckon with in ICC events.
India yet again enters an ICC tournament as a favorite. The Men in Blue were the runners-up of the last edition's Champions Trophy and are yet again in contention to bag their third CT crown. Nonetheless, the Rohit Sharma-led side needs to start well and ensure they put in a complete performance against a spirited Bangladesh side.

BAN vs IND Pitch Report
The BAN vs IND match will be played at the Dubai International Stadium. The pitch here is expected to assist the spinners more due to its slow nature. In the last ten ODIs played in Dubai, only once the side managed to reach 250. So, run-scoring won't be easy at this surface. However, one interesting aspect to note is that the chasing teams have won 34 of the 58 ODIs played at the Dubai International Stadium. 219 is the average first innings score in Dubai.
