Let’s have a look at 4 BIG reasons why India should be wary of Bangladesh when they face off in the much hyped about quarterfinals in the 2015 World Cup:

One of the biggest upsets in the history of the World Cups was when on the fateful day exactly 8 years from today (17th March 2007) in Port of Spain, the Bangladeshis threw out the 2003 finalists out of the tournament. Chasing 192 to win the Tigers romped home with 5 wickets to spare. The current Bangladeshi captain Mashrafe Mortaza was the man of the match on that day with a 4 wicket haul.


2. Out of the top 10 batsmen that have the maximum number of runs in the India versus Bangladesh encounters, Bangladesh have 3 in the top 10 while India have 2. This only refers to the currently ‘active’ players who will be participating in the quarterfinal come tomorrow.
