New Delhi: A spirited Bangladeshi side is set to take on Team India for a 2-match test series beginning on September 19th. The test series will be followed by a three-match T20I series.
The test match will be playing a significant role in the upcoming WTC Final which is scheduled to take place next year at Lords Cricket Ground.
India vs Bangladesh- Head-to-head record
Team India faced the Bangladeshi team in Test cricket for the first time in the year 2000. But since then Bangladesh has never defeated India in the red-ball cricket. India and Bangladesh have played 13 test matches so far, out of which India has won 11 test matches while the remaining 2 have ended in a draw.
Nevertheless, the Bangladeshi team, who recently scripted history with their maiden Test series win over Pakistan, are high on confidence. Subsequently, the Tigers will be vying for a test match win against India.
