On April 15, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) made it official: Team India is all set for a tour to Bangladesh in 2025. This visit will include a series of white-ball matches, where India’s senior men’s team will hit the field for three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and three T20 games. These matches are scheduled to take place in two cities, Mirpur and Chattogram.
The series kicks off on August 17, and it’s worth noting that this will be India’s first white-ball series since their victory in the Champions Trophy 2025 held in Dubai. Fans are eagerly waiting to see how the team performs in Bangladesh.
Here’s a look at the schedule for the matches:
ODI Match Schedule

1st ODI | Sunday, August 17 | SBNCS, Mirpur |

When looking back at the history between India and Bangladesh in ODIs and T20s, it’s clear both countries have built a bit of a rivalry over the years. In ODIs played in Bangladesh, they’ve met 25 times. Out of these matches, India has clearly had the upper hand with 18 wins, 6 losses, and one match that didn’t have a result.
The T20 scene has been even better for India in Bangladesh. The two teams have played three T20Is there, and India has won all of them. The last time they faced off in T20 cricket on Bangladeshi soil was way back in 2016. Their most recent encounter was during the Champions Trophy 2025, where India secured a win against Bangladesh by 6 wickets in an ODI.
As the series approaches, cricket fans can expect some thrilling matches, especially with big names like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma making their return in ODIs. Since both have decided to step away from T20Is, their participation in the format is something to really look forward to. Overall, this series in Bangladesh promises to be exciting, with both teams ready to give their best and entertain fans around the world.
