The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Match 2 between India and Bangladesh is scheduled for Thursday, February 20, 2025, at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.  

The two-time Champions Trophy winners and the erratic underdogs will square off in this matchup. The Indian side just defeated the Three Lions 3-0 in a fantastic ODI series at home against England. Even if their top pacer Jasprit Bumrah's injury has still hurt them, they still have a strong team heading into the competition and will be hoping to get off to a strong start.

The Bangladeshi team has struggled in the 50-over format, losing their last two series, whereas the Indian team won their most recent ODI series. The Bangladeshi team's standing in the ICC ODI rankings appears to be bleak after they lost the ODI series versus Afghanistan and the West Indies. To establish themselves as a prominent international team, the Tigers will aim to win some games.

Dubai International Stadium Pitch Report:

Expect a slow ground that favours spinners over batters and fast bowlers at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Only one side has scored more than 250 runs in the venue's last ten ODIs. Therefore, it won't be shocking if the forthcoming IND vs. BAN encounter similarly results in a game where batsmen find it difficult to execute their shots.

Weather Report:

Since rain is not predicted, it is unlikely to disrupt the forthcoming IND vs. BAN match. Throughout the game, temperatures are predicted to remain in the 20s.
