Good start by Bangladeshi batters as they have scored 107 runs so far for the loss of one wicket. Bad news coming out from the Indian dressing room. Hardik Pandya won't be able to field for the rest of the innings. Which means India is now short of one extra bowler. Who will bowl in place of Hardik in case another bowler gets hit, has to be decided by Rohit Sharma.
Bangladesh had a great start against India but now there are doubts whether they will be able to play 50 overs in the conditions of the game. Bangladesh's two opening batsmen were able to make a big partnership of 93 runs, but since Tanzin Tamim got out, Bangladesh started losing wickets regularly. Bangladesh's run rate before the first wicket was around seven, now that run rate has come down to less than five. Liton Das looked like Bangladesh would touch 300 runs but he was eventually dismissed and returned to the pavilion. Due to the fall of four wickets before 30 overs, Bangladesh now has only three wickets, that is, if India can get these three batsmen out, then Bangladesh will be all out very quickly.
Right, Bangladesh started very well. Looking at the start, I expected Bangladesh to put up a good score against India today and a game of that score would be very competitive. But at the moment Bangladesh has collected 149 runs with the loss of 4 wickets. But I think Bangladesh team can't give India a very good score to win today because Bangladesh team is losing wickets very fast at the moment. It can be estimated from this game of Bangladesh that they can score 220 to 250 runs today. But if Bangladesh team can bowl well against India today, maybe the game can be a bit competitive. But it is expected that Bangladesh will bowl very well against India today.
India is batting against Bangladesh with a target of 259 runs. The way India's two openers opened the batting attack looked like they would win the match in 30 overs. Even if we can't win by 258 runs, I think it is possible to fight with this run. Bangladesh must bowl well and aim to pick up multiple wickets in the power play. India will easily win this match if Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill set the wickets. Due to the absence of Shakib Al Hasan, Bangladesh is already far behind in this match. The player selected in place of Shakib must bowl with Shakib's responsibility.  
If Bangladesh could have scored 320 to 350 runs in the first innings, then Bangladesh could have won this match.
India went into bat against Bangladesh with a target of 257 runs in the second innings, you might not have seen the whole game because of the mistake. However, the way the two batsmen put together a partnership in the beginning certainly gave India a very easy win, but after the dismissal the game is under a bit of pressure. If India goes into bat to collect 257 runs and lose wickets to the bowling of Bangladesh, then they will surely fall into a lot of disappointment. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill's dismissals have reduced the run rate but, at the moment, Virat Kohli is putting up a superb batting performance. If the partnership of these two survives then surely India will win easily against Bangladesh today. In the absence of Shakib Al Hasan, there must be another player in his place and he will do enough to save the team. But if Bangladesh could score this amount of runs in today's match then surely it would be possible to win with India but, I am predicting that India will win today's match for sure.
