Bangladesh will begin their 2023 ODI World Cup campaign with a clash against their Asian rivals Afghanistan in Dharamsala on Saturday, October 7. They will be confident about their chances of making a lasting impression, considering that the tournament is taking place in subcontinent conditions.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) released the schedule for the tournament on Tuesday, June 27. The event will kickstart with a rematch of the last edition's final where England will take on New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on October 5. The mammoth venue will also play host to the final on Sunday, 19 November.
Bangladesh secured automatic qualification for the ODI World Cup after finishing third on the points table. The team played 24 ODIs, winning 15, losing eight and one ending in no result to finish with 155 points with a net run rate of +0.220.
Following their opening clash against Afghanistan in Dharamsala, Bangladesh will face defending champions England at the same venue. The Bangla Tigers defeated Jos Buttler and Co. on home soil in a white-ball tour a few months ago and will hope to replicate the same.

Apart from their last group stage match, Bangladesh's opening contest as well as their match against New Zealand in Chennai are day encounters.
