With India’s injury list growing, there is every chance that Bangladesh will see this as a great opportunity to register their first Test win over the visitors. However, India still have a very strong and experienced team and we think they will be too good for the hosts. Our prediction is for an India victory in Chattogram. Considering the team combination, India is expected to win this match.
