On Thursday, October 19, the 17th match of the ODI World Cup 2023 will unfold at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune, featuring a showdown between the hosts, India (IND), and Bangladesh (BAN). India enters the contest with a dazzling display against Pakistan in Ahmedabad, securing three consecutive wins and an impressive Net Run Rate.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh is grappling with dwindling confidence following an eight-wicket loss to the Black Caps, which happened with over seven overs to spare. The uncertainty surrounding Shakib Al Hasan’s recovery in time for the clash against India only compounds Bangladesh’s woes. Currently positioned seventh with just one victory in three matches, the Tigers’ top order must step up to stand a chance against the formidable side led by Rohit Sharma.

Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium Pitch Report:
The surface at the Maharashtra Cricket Association in Pune is a batting paradise. The bowlers might feel the heat due to the ground dimensions. But the spinners get a bit of bite from the surface as the game goes on. But with dew around and the ball skidding off the surface under lights, bowing first might be the way to go about business.

Probable Best Performers
Probable Best Batter:
Rohit Sharma (India)
Rohit Sharma in the 2023 ODI World Cup has been watching it like a beach ball. The Indian skipper could be the best batter in the upcoming game against Bangladesh. The 36-year-old has managed to score fifty and a hundred in his last two outings and looked hungry for runs, and could be on yet another rampage if he sees through Bangladesh’s new ball attack in Pune.

Probable Best Bowler:
Jasprit Bumrah (India)
The ace Indian pacer, Jasprit Bumrah, has been firing on all cylinders in his first home ODI World Cup. The Ahmedabad-born pacer has been nailing his yorkers, bowling fine lines, and executing his slower balls to perfection. Bumrah’s spell could ignite another successful game for India at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune.
