IND vs BAN Howzat11 Prediction, Match 2, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Injury Updates & Pitch Report for Champions Trophy 2025

The second match of the Champions Trophy 2025 will see Team India (IND) locking horns with neighbours Bangladesh (BAN), at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium (DICS), in Dubai, on Thursday, February 20. The Men in Blue are coming into this competition as favourites as they are currently riding high on confidence after their recent series win over England at home.

However, for Bangladesh, the last few tours have been tough and the results haven't gone their way, especially in the ODI format. Historically, India holds a strong 32-8 record over Bangladesh in ODIs, but the Bangla Tigers have won three of the last five encounters, including the 2023 Asia Cup.
