ICC World Cup 2019: Match 40, Bangladesh vs India: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

The permutations and combinations have changed after India’s loss to England. Pakistan and Bangladesh were dependent on the result of the clash and will now hope that New Zealand defeats the hosts on July 3. But the Tigers have a bigger task at their hands to stay alive in the tournament. They should beat India at any cost to even care about the result of the England-New Zealand clash.

India will also look to seal their place in the top four after stuttering against England. They have suffered from an injury blow as well with Vijay Shankar being ruled out of the tournament. However, they are unlikely to make any changes to the playing XI. Even Bangladesh won’t make any changes to the line-up unless Mahmudullah doesn’t recover from the injury which he sustained during the previous match.

Pitch Report

This match will be played on the same strip as England vs India from Sunday. It slowed down as the match progressed and won’t be a surprise if the spinners have their say from the first innings itself in this match.
