Bangladesh is going to face India in a must-win game(if they want to go to the semi-finals) tomorrow at Edgbaston stadium. Definitely, it will be a very tough task for the Bengal tigers to snatch victory from the mighty Indian team. India, on the other hand, has a glorious history against Bangladesh. They had won 29 out of 35 matches against Bangladesh. So easily a naive heart may find himself asking, can Tigers beat the Man In Blue? However, cricket can be very unpredictable sometimes. We are hoping whatever the outcome is, both teams should ensure that good cricket is being played.

Can Tigers beat the Man In Blue?

Bangladesh 20%
India 80%

Note:

India has only lost 3 times in a decade of the world cup matches. One simply can imagine how hard it is to defeat India as they likely have a tradition to not lose against mediocre teams. However, Bangladesh is now a team that can punch really hard and life the weight way over its capabilities. It will be their no. 1 priority to beat India anyhow.

India is probably going to win the match. However, the bowlers of Bangladesh team will make the journey a lot rougher than they would expect.
