It is the third time that India and Bangladesh are meeting in the knockout stage of an ICC tournament.
India play Bangladesh in their semi-final clash of the ICC Champions Trophy 2017. It is the second time that the two teams meet in the knockout stage of an ICC tournament with the last time being in the 2015 World Cup quarter-final. India won that match by 109 runs. Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza had said that Bangladesh should consider themselves lucky to even be in the knockout stages of the tournament. They do come into the match with nothing to lose. Bangladesh were one of the favourites to be the first team to be knocked out at the group stage. Instead, they have, progressed ahead of New Zealand and Australia.
India, on the other hand, are the defending champions and are expected to defend their title. It is hence clear that Virat Kohli’s men are favourites to win the match but the Champions Trophy has thrown quite a few surprises in the past week, Bangladesh’s presence in the semi-final being one of them.
