T20Is
T20 Internationals have brought cricket into the modern era, as Test matches may last for five days or longer while T20Is typically complete within three hours of starting and usually finish within 90 minutes of beginning play.
This fast-paced format has attracted new audiences to this sport; T20 cricket provides fun and engaging batting action and dynamic fielding; innings are limited to 20 overs per side while bowlers only bowl one-fifth of total overs bowled; boundaries (4s and 6s) play an important part in scoring runs totaling maximum scores; some aspects of traditional cricket such as innings length are limited in terms of innings total overs per side and bowlers can only bowl one-fifth of total overs bowled in traditional cricket; T20 cricket offers dynamic batting and exciting cricketing action!
India-Bangladesh rivalry is among the fiercest in sports. This series has produced some of the biggest matches ever witnessed on cricket field and is commonly known as the Asian Clasico. While India has maintained dominance of this series from its inception, Bangladesh has made significant advances. Both teams continue to meet regularly during bilateral series or ICC tournament fixtures.
Bangladesh batted first in the inaugural T20I between these nations and scored 105 runs before Indian paceman Ravi Bishnoi struck with four wickets in just the second over, leading to Bangladesh’s collapse and setting an unprecedented T20I total at the time of play.
Unfortunately for them in their next match-up against India they fell short of meeting their record target set by them and lost by seven wickets.
From 2009 through 2014, an exclusive competition featuring winners of various domestic T20 leagues was hosted as an end of season event, similar to Europe’s soccer Champions League tournament. Called Champions League Twenty20, it eventually fell out of favor due to low viewership and sponsorship; however, its cancellation led the International Cricket Council (ICC) to revive it as an annual event starting again from 2025.
Bangladesh and India first played an ODI match between 1976-1977; however, full membership with the International Cricket Council didn’t come until 1999, when Kenya and Scotland qualified as well as Bangladesh to qualify for their inaugural ICC Trophy competition that year. A few years later, however, Bangladesh Cricket Board introduced first-class competition before becoming Test-playing nations by beating Pakistan at Lord’s.
Tests
India and Bangladesh share an extremely limited history when it comes to Test matches; just nine games between them since Bangladesh gained test status. Although initially meeting as one-off matches, India and Bangladesh have since met in four series meetings which Sportstar analyzes to get an idea of their overall record against one another.
India triumphed against Bangladesh for their inaugural meeting in February 2017, winning both-match series. Virat Kohli led India by scoring his fourth double century in four consecutive Test series to surpass Don Bradman and Rahul Dravid’s records, with support from Murali Vijay (108), Ajinkya Rahane (82) and Wriddhiman Saha (55) making an Indian total of 687 for six before declaring.
Bangladesh was left struggling in their innings as batsmen struggled to gain any momentum, with Aminul Islam becoming their inaugural Test centurion with 145 runs but that wasn’t enough to pose India a meaningful challenge despite Kohli’s 204 run knock. Naimur Rahman took six wickets as Bangladesh failed to force follow-ons.
India once again displayed their superiority by winning by an innings and 141 runs to complete an emphatic whitewash victory over Bangladesh.
Virat Kohli led his side once more, hitting an unbeaten 158 to ensure victory while Jadeja and Ashwin combined their efforts to take seven wickets against them and bowl them out for only 260 in their second innings ensuring an easy Indian triumph.
Harsh Dubey had his hopes dashed of making his hat-trick when KL Rahul ran him out off a no-ball from Rohit Sharma off an no-ball from KL Rahul, however the pair shared plenty of happiness as they celebrated together and in their dressing room before Rohit collected the trophy from BCCI vice-president and hugged all his teammates as soon as he collected it from him.
ICC tournaments
Bangladesh’s rise as a cricketing nation has been nothing short of remarkable. A decade ago, they were struggling test-playing nation with limited infrastructure; today, they are full members of the International Cricket Council with vibrant culture and enthusiastic fans, not to mention becoming top-20 world teams in both ODIs and T20Is.
India remains Bangladesh’s primary challenge to progress. These two teams have met numerous times in ICC tournaments and produced memorable battles that drew in thousands of spectators each time.
Bangladesh and India last met at a World Cup matchup in 2007 at Mirpur’s Sher-e-Bangla Stadium and, to their delight, India defeated them by an astounding 87 runs to gain revenge for an embarrassing loss at previous edition.
Both Virender Sehwag and tournament debutant Virat Kohli scored centuries while Munaf Patel ensured India would prevail as Munaf Patel provided excellent bowling support to make sure Bangladesh wouldn’t stand in their way.
However, that match ended in a spectacular spectacle. After being dismissed for 191 after 53 overs, Tamim Iqbal took matters into his own hands and produced an extraordinary 62-ball century that sent shockwaves through India’s defences – garnering wide applause throughout Bangladesh.
India and Bangladesh continue their competition against each other through bilateral series and ICC tournaments, with India holding the upper hand when it comes to head-to-head record; however, Bangladesh have made their mark through thrilling T20 finishes and Asia Cup finals; their rivalry has become one of the most intense rivalries in international cricket today.
The International Cricket Council has denied the Bangladesh Cricket Board’s request to relocate tournament matches out of India, citing it would compromise player and media personnel safety and undermine neutrality of future ICC events. Instead, their board meeting held via video conference decided to go forward as planned, forfeiting four matches allocated to them due to Scotland’s ranking on ODI team rankings.
