Bangladesh vs India Cricket World Cup Preview, Predictions, Betting Tips and Live Stream

Bangladesh’s semi final hopes hang in the balance as they go to Edgbaston to face India in the 2019 Cricket World Cup. Virat Kohli is tipped to quash Bangladesh’s dreams with a sixth consecutive score over 56.5 runs.

Rohit Sharma has crossed the fifty run mark in four of his last six innings while Shakib Al Hasan averages 90.50 for Bangladesh at the World Cup. He deserves to be backed in the runs scored market.

Bangladesh Form & Team News

Bangladesh have surprised many with their World Cup performances with wins over South Africa and West Indies, but this is a must win match if they hope to progress to the semi finals.

Batting first Bangladesh managed a par total of 262 at the Rose Bowl. Mushfiqur Rahim top scored with 83 and Shakib Al Hasan scored 51 runs, his seventh consecutive score over 33.5 runs - he is tipped at 1.90 go over the 33.5 run mark again.

Al Hasan capped off his magnificent day by taking 5-29 as Afghanistan were bowled out for 200, falling 62 runs short.

Bangladesh can be backed at 5.00 for an outright win but I feel that is a long shot with more value lying with Shakib Al Hasan.

India Form & Team News

India were unbeaten at the World Cup until they ran into a desperate home side in England. On a good batting wicket at Edgbaston England scored 337 runs. Mohammed Shami was the pick of the bowlers taking 5-69.

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma played well in response with Kohli (66) passing 50 for the fifth consecutive match while Sharma (109) went on to score his third century of the World Cup. Unfortunately others didn’t contribute as they fell 31 runs short.

The incredible form of Virat Kohli deserves to be backed at 1.90 to score over 56.5 runs. Kohli seldom goes through five matches without a century so I think there is value in him to score a century at 3.50.

India are odds on favourite but with the lack of value it is worth looking at Rohit Sharma who has scored over 49.5 runs in four of his last six innings. He is tipped to score over 50+ runs at 1.90.
