Bangladesh vs India Cricket Team Timeline: Head-to-Head History

India has accumulated 63 wins across formats against Bangladesh’s mere 9 victories in a rivalry often called the “Asian Clásico”. Bangladesh’s rare upsets—including a 2007 World Cup shocker—have made every encounter feel like it matters.

First Test Meeting: 10–14 November 2000 (India won by 9 wickets) · First ODI Meeting: 27 October 1988 (India won by 9 wickets) · Latest Test Meeting: 27 September–1 September 2024 · India’s Tour Rescheduled: September 2026

Six reference points anchor this timeline from the first 1988 meeting to scheduled future tours.

Has India ever lost to Bangladesh?

Yes, India has lost to Bangladesh nine times across formats, though the record remains overwhelmingly in India’s favour. In Tests, Bangladesh has never won—India holds 13 victories from 15 matches, with 2 draws. The story differs slightly in limited-overs cricket, where Bangladesh has managed occasional upsets.

Key upsets in ODIs and T20s

Bangladesh secured eight ODI wins against India’s 33, with one no-result in 42 matches overall. In T20Is, India has won 17 of 18 encounters, with Bangladesh managing just one victory—in 2019. This single T20I win remains Bangladesh’s sole triumph in the shortest format.

The limited-overs numbers show India still dominates, but the gap narrows compared to Test cricket, where Bangladesh has never won a match.

World Cup 2007 shock

The defining upset came at the 2007 ICC World Cup in the Caribbean, when Bangladesh defeated India by 5 wickets in Georgetown, Trinidad. That victory exposed India’s vulnerabilities and triggered widespread soul-searching in Indian cricket. As ESPNcricinfo noted, “When the biggest of upsets finally happened on the global stage, for the first time, in 2007, Bangladesh had arrived.”

Is IND vs Ban rescheduled?

India’s tour of Bangladesh, originally slated for 2025, has been rescheduled for September 2026. The two-Test tour will mark India’s first bilateral visit to Bangladesh since 2015, when India won both matches in Dhaka and Fatullah.

India’s tour of Bangladesh details

The 2015 tour remains Bangladesh’s most recent home bilateral series against India. That visit saw India win the first Test by 238 runs and the second by an innings and 54 runs—both in Dhaka. Bangladesh has not won a Test against India in nine series.

September 2026 schedule

The rescheduled September 2026 tour will be Bangladesh’s first home Tests against India in over a decade. Given India’s undefeated Test record against Bangladesh, the fixtures present a significant challenge for the hosts, who have managed only 2 draws in 15 attempts.

Bangladesh vs India head to head ODI

In 42 ODI meetings, India holds a 33–8 lead with 1 no-result. The first encounter came at the 1988 Asia Cup in Chattogram, where India won by 9 wickets. The most recent ODI took place on 20 February 2025, with India winning by 6 wickets at a venue yet to be confirmed in records.

Overall ODI stats

India’s ODI dominance spans three decades. The team averages a higher run total when batting first against Bangladesh, and has won all four World Cup meetings in this format. India Today’s preview framed the 2023 World Cup encounter as a mismatch, despite Bangladesh’s growth since 2007.

Recent series results

The most recent bilateral ODI series before the 2025 match came during India’s 2022 tour of Bangladesh, which featured three ODIs. India won that series, continuing the pattern of dominance across formats. The 2023 World Cup meeting in Pune saw Virat Kohli score his 48th ODI century in an Indian victory by 7 wickets.

India vs Bangladesh head to head in T20

India leads the T20I head-to-head 17–1 in 18 matches. The solitary Bangladesh victory came in 2019, a result that remains the highlight of their T20I record against India. All four T20 World Cup meetings have gone India’s way, including a 5-run win in Adelaide in 2022.

T20I match history

The first T20I between the teams took place on 6 June 2009, with India winning. Recent T20Is in 2024 saw India win matches in Gwalior, Delhi, and Hyderabad during Bangladesh’s tour of India. The format shows India’s closest equivalent to their Test dominance.

Notable T20 scorecards

The 2022 T20 World Cup match in Adelaide ended with India posting 184/6 and restricting Bangladesh to 159/6. The 5-run margin proved decisive in a tight group-stage encounter. myKhel’s T20 analysis confirms India’s 17-1 record in this format.

When the biggest of upsets finally happened on the global stage, for the first time, in 2007, Bangladesh had arrived.

— ESPNcricinfo – Cricket Analyst

The Bangladesh–India cricket rivalry began as an afterthought—Bangladesh was a novice nation when the teams first met in 1988. India held 63 wins across 75 matches, but Bangladesh’s 2007 World Cup upset proved the relationship had changed. The “Asian Clásico” label captures how even a lopsided record creates compelling cricket when these neighbours meet.
