India’s cricket team is riding high on a winning spree in the World Cup 2023, clinching triumphs in their initial three matches. Their next challenge awaits on Thursday as they face off against the Bangladesh cricket team. Judging by the current form of Indian players, it is anticipated that they won’t encounter significant obstacles in securing a win against Bangladesh. However, the Indian team won’t underestimate their opposition, especially considering the formidable history in Pune.
World Cup 2023 witnessing major upsets
The ongoing World Cup 2023 has witnessed two major upsets so far, involving cricket powerhouses England and South Africa. The English team faced an unexpected defeat against Afghanistan, while the African team had to concede to the Netherlands on Tuesday. These surprising twists in the ongoing tournament have left fans in awe. Bangladesh’s team, with their impressive performance, is indeed a force to be reckoned with in this tournament.
Pune’s history is daunting
Pune has a formidable history, especially in World Cups, where it has caused upsets against two-time World Cup winners West Indies. During the 1996 World Cup hosted by India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, a match between West Indies and Kenya unfolded. Before the match, everyone expected West Indies to secure an easy victory against Kenya. However, when the result emerged, everyone was astonished.
Despite Kenya’s surrender at a mere 166 runs, the mighty West Indies succumbed at a dismal 93 runs in just 35.2 overs against the formidable Kenyan bowling attack led by Rajab Ali and captain Maurice Odumbe. Both bowlers successfully chipped away three wickets each, leading to the dramatic victory.
It’s worth noting that Bangladesh’s team has previously defeated the Indian team in the World Cup. This clash took place in 2007, a testament to Bangladesh’s potential in this prestigious tournament.
