Pitch Conditions | Bangladesh vs India 1st ODI
The Sher-E-Bangla Stadium normally produces high-scoring matches. The first-inning score of around 300 is expected here with the batting both the team possess. India has the highest score by any team on this ground. Their 370 in the opening match of ICC World Cup 2011 still stands as the highest total made on this ground.
Team News | Bangladesh
The biggest news for the Bangladesh fans ahead of the ODI series was the omission of their regular ODI captain Tamim Iqbal. Bangladesh pace-head Taskin Ahmed will also miss the series due to a back injury.
However, newly appointed captain Litton Das will have the services of Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib-Al-Hasan, Mustafizur Rahaman and Mahmudllah Riyad. Although Bangladesh have already qualified for the next world cup in 2023 and this series is not included in the World Cup Super League, the tigers will want to make a mark against a full-strength India.
Shakib-Al-Hasan might be promoted up the order to bat at 3 while Litton and Anamul will be the ones to open the innings for the Bangla tigers. Meantime, Mushfiqur and Mahmudullah will be the key men in the middle overs for them. With this combination, Yasir Ali might get a place in the playing XI as the bowling all-rounder option.
Team News | India
India will be at their full strength except for Mohammed Shami who got injured at the last moment and is replaced by young sensation Umran Malik. Jasprit Bumrah is still recovering from the injury he sustained before the T20 World Cup 2022. In addition, Ravindra Jadeja is also out of the squad as well due to injury. However, this Indian team still looks great on paper with Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli at the top.
KL Rahul will be seen playing at 5 while Washinton Sundar and Axar Patel will try to recover the absence of Jadeja in the middle. Mohammed Siraj and Deepak Chahar will surely be the ones to take the new ball for India with Shardul Thakur being the third pacer all-rounder for India.
Players under spotlight
Virat Kohli is only 30 runs away from becoming the second overseas player to hit 1000 ODI runs in Bangladesh. Although Kohli did not have a good run in this format in 2022, with the t20 form he was in, he will be very confident to get back in form in this series against Bangladesh.

Meanwhile, as India prep for the coming World Cup, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant will be under scrutiny as players like Sanju Samson are waiting in line.

On the contrary, for Bangladesh, Litton Das has been an absolute star in the green and maroon this season. Litton already has plied 500 ODI runs at an average of 62.50. However, with the added responsibility of captaincy, it will be interesting to see how he copes with the pressure.
