Bangladesh off to cautious start

Litton Das and Tanzid Hasan are building up a slow and steady partnership in their game against India in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup at the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium in Pune

India's Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj are aiming for some early wickets in order to get an upper hand in the game.

Earlier, Bangladesh stand-in skipper Najmul Hossian Shanto won the toss and opted to bat against India in the ODI World Cup 2023 match on Thursday.

Bangladesh regular skipper Shakib Al Hasan has been rested due to injury he sustained during the match against New Zealand.
