India vs Bangladesh Head-to-Head: After a glorious win over their arch-rivals, Pakistan, India will be going against Bangladesh in their next fixture of the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 campaign. India is sitting at the top of the table after winning all three matches played so far. Bangladesh, on the other hand, has won just one of the three matches played, and it would be a herculean task for them to come away with a major upset.

But history has its tales. The first time Bangladesh faced India in the ODI World Cup was back in 2007 in the West Indies. Bangladesh beat the Indian side by five wickets — a setting of one of the biggest upsets in the history of Indian cricket. The Indian fans had a hard time coming to terms with the defeat and negative emotions, and they responded by burning effigies of the head coach and former Australian captain Greg Chappell.

But that's history. India has learnt from that mistake and has not once taken the Bangla Tigers lightly. Since then, the two sides have met three times, in which India has thrashed the Bangladesh side on all three occasions.

India will be facing Bangladesh for the fifth time in the ODI World Cup on Thursday, October 19, at the MCA International Stadium in Pune. 

Here are all the details you need to know about India vs Bangladesh head-to-head in the ODI World Cups—

Match 1) 2007, ICC ODI World Cup, Port of Spain

One of the darkest days in the history of Indian cricket was this early exit from the 2007 World Cup at the hands of a team that made its World Cup debut in 1999. This India vs Bangladesh match has always brought horrors back to the minds of the fans who witnessed one of the biggest upsets in the history of international cricket.

India won the toss and chose to bat first, but only managed to put up a 192-run target. Apart from then-skipper Sourav Ganguly and all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, no other player managed to get to the 20-run mark. Courtesy of some brilliant bowling by Mohammad Rafique, Mashrafe Mortaza, and Abdur Razzak, India was bowled out in 49.3 overs. Tamim Iqbal, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Shakib Al Hasan stepped up for Bangladesh, as they scored 51, 56, and 53 runs, respectively, handing India the biggest upset in the history of the game.

Who does not remember the boundary off the first ball from Virender Sehwag's bat in this match?
