ICC World Cup 2015: 5 reasons why India need not worry about Bangladesh in the quarterfinals

India will take on Bangladesh in the second quarter-final of the 2015 World Cup at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) this Thursday. India enter the knockout stages with 6 consecutive wins under their belt and will be aiming for an easy victory against Bangladesh.Bangladesh, on the other hand, have sprung up a big surprise by reaching the quarters, courtesy of beating a team like England, and seem determined to provide the Indian team a good battle. They have nothing much to lose and will try to play on the nerves of the Indians, who are expected to win comfortably.However, here are 5 reasons why MS Dhoni’s men don’t have to worry about their match against Bangladesh:

#1 India enjoy 24-3 head-to-head advantage

Based on history, it would be safe to say that Bangladesh have nothing more than a negligible chance of overcoming the Men in Blue. Out of the 29 times that the two teams have met,after all, India have emerged triumphant on no less than 24 occasions.

Bangladesh have had success on only 3 occasions, and although one of those came during the 2007 World Cup, that was 8 years back and should have absolutely no bearing on Thursdays encounter.

India won the last ODI series that they played against Bangladesh by a margin of 2-0, even though many of the top players were rested. The team hasbeen intop form in this World Cup and shouldnt find it too difficult to demolish this Bangladeshi outfit.
