ICC World Cup 2019: Warm-up Match 10, India vs Bangladesh: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

India’s arrival in England began in a rather disappointing manner as they lost to New Zealand by 6 wickets on Saturday. On a seaming green track at The Oval, India’s top-order couldn’t excel against the Kiwi pacers who felt like bowling at home. They will face-off Bangladesh team who they last faced in a thrilling Asia Cup final. Their first warm-up against Pakistan ended without a result which was also supposed to be played in Cardiff.

India will be hoping to see all their batsmen get a few runs under the belt before getting into the main event. The Indian vice-captain Rohit Sharma usually fails in the warm-up games ahead of the ICC ODI competitions hosted by England. He scored a total of 16 runs across the three matches prior to the Champions Trophy 2013 and 2017. However, he ended up as the 2nd highest run-getter for India in both tournaments. He was dismissed for just two runs against the Blackcaps.
