India vs Bangladesh Dream 11 Team: India will open their ICC Champions Trophy campaign against Bangladesh at the Dubai International Stadium today, February 20. India come into the tournament on back of a 3-0 win over England in the previous series and would look to get the campaign off to a winning start. Bangladesh in the Dubai conditions won't be any walkovers so India will have to play their best cricket to start on a winning note.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, would be optimistic of an upset. India are a brute force in the format, but Bangladesh have the resources to stun India, but they will have to punch above their weight to shock the Indians.

Dubai generally offers a surface that's suitable for spinners. However, if dew comes in, the batting gets easier in the second innings. Both teams have a plethora of spinners in the side and the batters might have work hard to score runs, especially in first innings.

Bangladesh have multiple left-handers in the top order so the odds are high that India won't play Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel together. India could rest one of the two and play Washington Sundar.
