Phase two: The Big Improvement And Bangladesh As A Real Limited – overs Side The 2007 World Cup win demonstrated that Bangladesh could take down India in a major ICC event.
Further proof of Bangladesh’s growth in achievement came with both the 2012 Asia Cup and also the ODI series in England in 2015 One of the most significant series was that of 2015, during which Bangladesh completed a historic bilateral ODI series win over India.
The third phase saw plenty of tight tournament games. Those finishes – the one-run T20 World Cup final in 2016 and the last-ball Nidahas Trophy final in 2018, were etched into folklore as two of the most talked-about contests in the fixture’s T20I history.

Following postponement of the planned tour in 2025, a three-match ODI and three-match T20I tour of Bangladesh was on the schedule for September 2026. The initial schedule had three ODIs and three T20Is – for September 1, 3 and 6 in one-day matches and September 9, 12 and 13 in T20I clashes.
The dates were still tentative as recently as August 2026, when the Bangladesh Cricket Board claimed discussions with Australia had not been concluded but India’s announcement of their T20I series against Afghanistan also threw another spanner in the works. These fixtures should not in fact be included as completed matches on the timeline of history,
The safest phrasing would be to say that the 2026 India-Bangladesh white-ball tour was due for scheduling/rescheduling but was still before further scheduling, as opposed to marketed an already completed series.
