India vs Bangladesh, Champions Trophy 2025 Recap: Shubman Gill's Resilient Century Secures 6-Wicket Victory for IND

2 months ago | 5 Views

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: The match concludes with a splendid shot. Tanzim's third delivery of the 47th over was too short, allowing Rahul to elegantly maneuver and send the ball soaring to the leg side for the winning six. Any lingering doubts regarding Rahul's place in the lower-middle order should be dispelled by this performance. He finishes the innings not out on 41 from 47 balls, contributing to a partnership with Gill that stands at 87 runs off 98 deliveries.

Shubman Gill is rightfully named the player of the match, which comes as no surprise. That concludes our coverage. Thank you for your attention, and good night!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: He has truly established himself in the ODI format. He nudges the second ball of that over from Taskin to cover for an easy single. Removing his helmet, he raises his bat with a broad smile. Shubman Gill is proving to be an exceptional player in this format, having achieved two half-centuries and two centuries in just four matches.

India requires 7 runs to win from 28 balls.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Following a boundary, he took a single, ensuring that his younger teammate would face the next over. Taskin Ahmed now charges in for the first ball of the 46th over, with Gill on strike, having scored 99 off 123 balls.

India stands at 221/4, needing 8 runs to win from 30 balls.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: A well-placed delivery from Tanzim on the fourth ball of the 45th over saw Gill execute a short-arm pull to the leg side for a four. He is now just two runs shy of a century. This has been an impressive innings. India now requires nine runs to win from 32 balls.

India is at 220/4 in 44.4 overs.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Tanzim bowls a rank half volley on the pads second ball of the 45th to Gill, the latter plays the perfect flick shot. It sails into the stands leg side and Gill moves to 94 now.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Third ball of the 44th by the Fizz, Rahul quick to rock back to the back of a length delivery and cuts it emphatically off side to the boundary. That was just perfect timing and it is all down to how quick Rahul was to react there. Nothing pre-meditated, all down to some absolutely state of the art reflexes. Rahul gets off strike fifth ball and then Mustafizur bowls a wide down leg. Criminal at this stage of the game. And then Gill takes a single as well.

He is on 88 off 118, Rahul on 33 off 43.

India 210/4, need 19 to win off 36

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Mustafizur brought back for the 42nd over and then Tanzim for the 43rd. Both overs produce three runs each, which has been the case for a majority of overs in this chase. Gill has moved to 86 off 116 balls, Rahul on 27 off 39.

If Gill can score a century here it will be quite a remarkable feat indeed.

India need 28 to win from 42 balls.

India 201/4 in 43 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: India can now technically chase this down inside an over, although it is unlikely to see a repeat of Yuvraj Singh vs Stuart Broad 2007 T20 World Cup here. Gill ends that 41st over by Rishad for a four past midwicket. Rishad's 10 overs are done, he has very good figures of 2/38. Gill is on 85 off 112, Rahul on 22 off 31.

India 195/4 in 41 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Rahul smashes the second ball over mid-on for a six and that is a body blow for Bangladesh. Gill got off strike the previous ball, the batters run two off the next and then take a single each off the last two balls. That makes it 11 runs off that over.

Gill on 78 off 104 balls, Rahul 20 off 27.

India 186/4 in 39 overs, need 43 to win from 66 balls

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: He has moved to 76 off 102 balls at the end of the 38th over, which was Miraz's ninth. Rahul at the other end on 11 off 32, Rohit was all smiles seeing that dropped catch, having dropped a similar sitter off Jakar himself so famously earlier today.

India 175/4, in 38 overs, need 54 to win from 72 balls

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: That is an unbelievable drop. A ridiculous shot there from Rahul, going for that slog sweep despite a fielder being there. Said fielder is Jakar Ali, who saved Bangladesh from being all out for an embarassing score earlier today. Now, he may just have put down the last chance they had to record a famous win.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Drinks have been taken. Once again, just three runs from that over once again. Gill on 66 off 93 balls, Rahul on seven off 14. This stand has brought 17 runs in 29 balls for India and, unless they try to hit out towards the end, this should be a straightforward chase now. The required rate is just 4.53. Doesn't matter how slow a pitch maybe, any team who loses a match trying to hit out despite their required run rate being around 4.50 won't really have too many excuses to hide behind.

India 161/4 in 35 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Just 3 runs in the 33rd over and now Miraz returns. It is all about building a partnership at the moment for Rahul and Gill. The former has tried to find a boundary a couple of times but the ball has only gone to a fielder. Gill on 63 off 86 at the end of that over, Rahul on three off nine.

India 154/4 in 33 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: India now need 84 to win from 114 balls but don't let that equation fool you. This is turning out to be a really tricky chase for India, they have lost their top four but, the way their middle order is lined up, they still have two absolutely solid top order bats out there in Gill and KL Rahul. Gill is on 56 off 78 and if he can usher India to victory today, it might just be one of the best innings of his career thus far.

India 145/4 in 31 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Another one bites the dust trying to hit out. This is turning into a really tricky chase now for India. And to think Bangladesh were 34/5 once and could've been restricted to below 150 had India held on to the chances that came in the middle overs. Axar tries to slog sweep the first ball of the 31st over by Rishad, it goes high up in the air and the spinner himself takes the catch.

Axar Patel c & b Rishad Hossain 8 (12)

India 144/4 in 30.1 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Tanzim Hassan Sakib brought back for the 30th over. His fifth ball is banged in halfway down the pitch, Axar makes room and smashes it over midwicket for a four. Takes a single next ball and Axar is on eight off 11. Gill on 56 off 78.

India 144/3 in 30 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: A lot of talk of India gaining a possibly unfair advantage as they are the only team in this tournament playing only at one venue. However, the Indian batters might just be wishing that they were playing on pitches similar to what is on offer in Pakistan. This one is as sluggish as they come because of which India's requirement of 95 to win off 132 balls looks like hard work indeed.

Axar Patel comes in to bat at No.5 again, he has scored one run in two balls, Gill on 53 off 75.

India 134/3 in 28 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: He cut the third ball of that 28th over from the Fizz past point for four. Then he tries to hit Mustafizur over his head, ends up miscuing it to mid-off. The ball just not coming on to the bat well enough.

Shreyas Iyer c Najmul Hossain Shanto b Mustafizur Rahman 15 (17)

India 133/3 in 27.4 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Fourth time on the trot that Gill has gone past fifty now in ODIs. He is scoring at a metronomic rate in this format now. This is going to be hard work for India. Just as they did with the bat, Bangladesh have pulled it back well with the ball after the first 10 overs. Gill has got to his half-century in 69 balls, five fours and a six in his innings.

India 122/2 in 25 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Precarious start to this innings for Shreyas Iyer as Shanto brings Mustafizur back into the attack for the 24th over. He edges the fifth ball into the gap between the wicketkeeper and gully to the boundary. Before that he was pretty much run out at the non-striker's end had Mustafizur managed to collect the throw from captain Shanto. Gill on five off four, Gill on 48 off 66.

India 118/2 in 24 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: He tries to carve the fourth ball off side, almost falls over doing so and slices it straight to backward point. Once again, a leg spinner gets Kohli's wicket. It was a fullish delivery and Kohli rocked all the way back, lost his shape entirely.

Kohli c Soumya Sarkar b Rishad Hossain 22 (38)

India 112/2 in 22.4 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: It was starting to get away from comfortable territory for India and so Kohli gets one away at the nick of time. Miraz with a proper drag-down last ball of the 22nd, Kohli pulls it away between square leg and fine leg for his first four of the match. It has come after 35 balls in his innings.

Kohli on 22 off 35, Gill on 46 off 61.

India 111/1 in 22 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: We can definitely expect to see one of these two try to play an expansive shot in the 20th over that Miraz is set to bowl. The last three overs have all gone for three runs each. Gill on 41 off 49, Kohli on 13 off 29.

India 97/1 in 19 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Three more runs off the 18th by Miraz, as was the case off the 17th as well. Gill gets to 40 off 47 at the end of it, Kohli on 11 off 25. No sign of dew yet. Kohli was struck on the top of his pad fourth ball of that over as he rocked back to play a slow off break. Short appeal from Bangladesh but everyone knew it was sliding down leg side.

India 94/1 in 18 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Three singles off that one by Rishad Hossain. Gill on 39 off 45 now, Kohli on nine off 21. India's required run rate is 4.18 and they are currently going at 5.35. Their run rate has actually dropped quite a bit in the last couple of overs but none of it would matter to India. Bangladesh know that the only way they can put the batting side under any kind of pressure is through wickets and right now, Kohli and Gill looking quite assured.

India 91/1 in 17 overs, need 138 to win from 198 balls

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: As stated earlier, India can afford to have a slow period or two considering the start that Rohit gave them and the target they are chasing. Gill and Kohli are more than adept at milking runs and keeping the scoreboard ticking steadily and they are starting to do that now. They both tap the balls into the gaps and take four runs off Miraz in the 16th over.

Kohli on seven off 18, Gill on 38 off 42.

India 88/1 in 16 overs, need 141 off 34 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: He normally likes to impose himself early on and so Bangladesh should see it as a bit of a win that Kohli has managed to score just four runs in his first 13 balls. Gill tries scooping the last ball of the 14th from Miraz, it goes past deep fine and the batters run two. The ball is coming very slowly off the pitch now so that has played a role in Kohli getting off to a slow start. In fact India have scored just 10 runs overall in the five overs since Rohit fell. Despite all this, the fact remains that India still have a very good score on the board, and it gets even better considering they are chasing 229.

India 84/1 in 15 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: That wicket of Rohit has led to a couple of good overs for Bangladesh. Just one run to Gill off the first ball of the 11th over from Tanzim Hasan Sakib and then Kohli can't get off strike for the rest of the over. Then comes Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who has had a lot of success against Kohli in recent years. Gill gets off strike second ball and Kohli manages to get a run off the last.

India 72/1 in 12 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Live by the sword and die by it. That has been Rohit's moto for a while now and that is what happens here as well. He has stepped out time and again to the Bangladesh pacers and has look particularly uncomfortable against Taskin. Does the same this time but miscues it and the ball goes straight up in the air. Caught at cover point.

In comes Virat Kohli now.

Rohit Sharma c Rishad Hossain b Taskin Ahmed 41 (36)

India 69/1 in 9.5 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Tanzim Hasan Sakib comes in for the ninth over, the fourth ball is back of a length and Gill meets it with the most gorgeousw of lofted shots over midwicket for a six. The fifth ball goes down leg for a wide, then Gill charges down the track, converts the delivery into a half-volley and smashes it over cover for four. This is looking very, very ominous indeed for Bangladesh.

Gill on 26 off 23, Rohit on 37 off 31.

India 65/0 in 9 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Three fielders placed by Shanto to stop runs from coming square of the wicket. Rohit meets the last ball of the eighth from Mustafizur right between point and backward point with just perfect placement. The Indian captain is looking a million dollars now.

Rohit on 37 off 31, Gill on 14 off 17.

India 51/0 in 8 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: He has raced to 27 off 25 balls now, hitting Mustafizur for three fours in the sixth over. He flat bats the second ball of the over offside for a four and then comes down the track to hit the third over mid-off for another next ball. Rohit is squared up next ball, Mustafizur shifts to around the wicket, Rohit plays a rather clumsy slog. It takes the bottom edge and it goes fine to the boundary. Rohit has a sheepish smile as he walks down to bump gloves with Gill.

India 35/0 in 6 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: He is the second fastest to that milestone after Virat Kohli, who himself can cross 14,000 ODI runs today. After that shaky first over against the Fizz, Rohit looking much better against the pacer in the fourth. Mustafizur strays on to Rohit's pads fourth ball and the Indian captain flicks it to the deep fine boundary. He miscues a pull shot fourth ball and runs two. Then Rohit backs away, Mustafizur follows him and yet, the ball is in the slot. Rohit sends it past mid-on for another four and that takes him past 11k. He takes a single to finish the over.

Rohit on 14 off 15, Gill on eight off nine.

India 22/0 in 4 overs

India 22/0 in 4 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Big appeal for LBW against Rohit first ball, umpire shakes his head and Bangladesh don't bother with a review. Rohit steps out and dabs the second ball for a dot. Then he beats Rohit third ball and then deceives the batter with some movement off the seam fourth ball. Rohit takes a single off the last ball.

India 6/0 in 2 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Rising delivery from Taskin just outside off, Rohit tries to meet it with a high bat. Takes a bottom edge and bounces just behind the stumps. Rohit runs one. Then Gill gets the first boundary of the innings with a short arm pull third ball past square leg for four. He is in four off five at the end of that over, Rohit on one off one.

Mustafizur Rahman with the other new ball from the other end.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Here we go then, Rohit on strike and Taskin Ahmed bowling the first over. Rohit is 12 runs away from 11,000 runs in ODIs. Jakar and Hridoy have given Bangladesh something to bowl at here. What can they get up to today?

IND vs BAN LIVE Score, Champions Trophy 2025: Mohammed Shami, who only made his return to the international fold last month after more than a year of absence, finished with 5 for 53 against Bangladesh. It is the second-best bowling figure by an Indian in Champions Trophy after Ravindra Jadeja (5/36 vs WI The Oval 2013). With the fifer, he not only became the fastest bowler in ODI history to 200 wickets, but also the highest wicket-taker for India in ICC ODI tournaments with 60 wickets, surpassing Zaheer Khan (59).

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Axar Patel is talking to Harsha Bhogle for the host broadcasters. He is nicely diplomatic about that dropped catch by Rohit which denied him the hat-trick. Says that he had started to celebrate for a millisecond but when he saw that it was put down, he just walked back without any thought in his head. Axar says that Bangladesh probably would've been all out a long time earlier if that catch was taken but this is still a chaseable total.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: He will walk off the pitch whenever he can as slowly as possible. An unbelievable innings here and one that has certainly given Bangladesh something to bowl at. It was a slower delivery fourth ball of the 50th over from Rana, Hridoy swings at it. Miscues the shot and Shami does well to run in from fine leg and take the catch.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: There were worries over him not looking even close to being as good as he was before his long time on the sidelines due to injury. Taskin swipes the fourth ball of that over straight to midwicket, Iyer takes an easy catch. Shami looks up and points at the sky with a satisfied smile on his face.

Taskin Ahmed c Iyer b Mohammed Shami 3 (6)

Bangladesh 228/9 in 48.4 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: He chops the first ball of the 49th from Shami to deep point and jogs through for the single. Towhid Hridoy's first ODI century and it is surely one of the most memorable knocks by a Bangladesh batter in this format. He has powered Bangladesh to this point after they were 35/5.

Bangladesh 228/8 in 48.1 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: He dabs the last ball of the 48th to backward point and this time puts an almighty sprint when he sees that the fielder is coming to pick it up. Then he puts in a full stretch dive and then rolls over to stare up a the sky, probably questioning the life choices that got him to this place. But then he surely will remember that he is one run away from completing one of the most remarkable centuries in the history of Bangladesh cricket and see that its all worth it. Hridoy on 99 off 113, Taskin at the other end on three off as many.

Bangladesh 226/8 in 48 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Hridoy hit the deck after playing the fourth ball of that over from Shami to extra cover. He took a while to get back on his feet, gets some fluids and takes a couple of pills and seems good to go. Shami goes wide outside off, Hridoy happily smashes it through extra cover with his feet on the ground. Then Hridoy digs out the last one to long on, India puzzlingly allowing him to walk his singles. Absolutely no urgency on the throw.

Hridoy on 96 off 109.

Bangladesh 221/8 in 47 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Second ball of the 47th is back of a length from Shami, Tanzim tries to reach it and ends up inside edging it to his own stumps. Four wickets in the first match of the Champions Trophy for Shami.

Tanzim Hasan Sakib b Mohammed Shami 0 (4)

Bangladesh 215/7 in 46.2 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Rishad ends up giving Hardik Pandya some catching practice at short third. He had failed the last practice he got off Towhid earlier today but this time, he pouches it with ease. Back of a length from Rana, Rishad tries an upper cut but ends up dabbing it straight to Pandya.

Hossain c Pandya b Harshit Rana 18 (12)

Bangladesh 214/7 in 45.3 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Wow, Bangladesh have gone from being 35/5 in the ninth over to 212/6 in the 45th. 20 runs off that over from Axar. India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Wow, Bangladesh have gone from being 35/5 in the ninth over to 212/6 in the 45th. 20 runs off that over from Axar. Rishad has a wild swing at the third ball, rewarded for his intent as it takes the edge and goes past short third for four. He gets a proper hold of the next one though and tonks it down the ground for a six to take Bangladesh past 200. Then he biffs the third one flat over midwicket for another six. Single off the last ball, Rishad on 17 off 10, Hridoy on 89 off 104.

Hridoy just about managed to limp to the other end for the single and so he is very much on one leg now.

Bangladesh 212/6 in 45 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: He has been out there for more than 100 deliveries and ne has to remember that while longer innings get played in Tests, there are no Lunc or Tea breaks in ODIs. It is quite humid out there. Hridoy gets some attention after the second ball of the 45th for which Axar returns.

Bangladesh 192/6 in 44 overs

IND vs BAN LIVE Score, Champions Trophy 2025: Shami is now the second fastest to 200 ODI wickets, with only Mitchell Starc above him in that list. Meanwhile, that was Kohli's 156th catch in ODIs. He is now level with Mohammed Azharuddin for most catches for India in the format.

Kuldeep returns now for the 44th, replacing Pandya who has only bowled four overs today. It doesn't look like he is going to complete his full quota.

Bangladesh 189/6 in 43 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: India take a catch at long last. Jaker Ali holes out at long on, it was an easy one for Kohli but these are the ones that India have dropped since the ninth over.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: The partnership now goes beyond 150. It is the highest for Bangladesh against India in ODIs for any wicket. Shami bowls the second ball of the 43rd over in the slot, Hridoy swings hard at it leg side, Rana should've stopped that but it slips underneath him to the boundary. Then Rana does brilliantly to stop the next one to the boundary next ball.

Bangladesh 188/5 in 42.3 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: This is the first time since the 2023 that India have not managed to take a single wicket between the 10th and 40th overs. The last time it happened? Well it was a little match played between India and Australia on November 19, 2023. You know. THAT one.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh continue to accelerate, Jaker and Hridoy both hit Shami for fours in that 41st over. Jaker on 66 off 110, Hridoy on 75 off 94.

Bangladesh 176/5 in 41 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Just three runs off that over from Pandya and now Shami also returns. Final powerplay now, it is a wonder that Bangladesh have even reached this far considering they lost half their side in the first nine overs but the fact is that India haven't struck even once since then. This has been a fantastic partnership between Hridoy and Jaker.

Bangladesh 165/5 in 40 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: This partnership is now on 127 off 184 balls. Both these batters were dropped very early in their innings and Rahul had missed a stumping chance as well, remember. Now they are starting to grow in confidence as well, as evidenced by those two sixes.

Bangladesh 162/5 in 29 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Jadeja continues in the 39th, his fourth ball is sent sailing over deep midwicket by Hridoy for another six. His second in two overs.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: This stand has now rolled on to 114. Jaker takes a single off the first ball of the 38th by Kuldeep and then Hridoy smashes the second over extra cover for a sis. He moves to 60 off 87.

Bangladesh 149/5 in 37.2 overs

IND vs BAN LIVE Score, Champions Trophy 2025: He gets a thickish outside edge and it runs behind along the ground. Hridoy runs hard but he didn't need to, the ball just rolls along to the boundary. He is on 53 off 85 balls.

Bangladesh 140/5 in 36.2 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Rohit Sharma must be mentally kicking himself even more as Jaker runs two off the first ball of the 36th over by Kuldeep to raise his half-century.

Bangladesh 134/5 in 35.1 overs

IND vs BAN LIVE Score, Champions Trophy 2025: That 35th over was done in less than a minute and that was because Ravindra Jadeja returned for it.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Jaker slog sweeps the fourth ball to the deep square leg boundary. Kuldeep bowled another googly third ball, this time it was an easier collection for Rahul and he whips off the bails and appeals. Once again, Jaker was safe. Then some very good reach from Jaker on the slog sweep for four.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Kuldeep fires in a wrong ‘un, batter can’t read it but Rahul does and appeals for a stumping. Kuldeep tosses this up over the eyeline, Jaker misses the flick shot and Rahul takes the stumps off in a flash. The backfoot was lifted momentarily but the batter was safe when the bails dislodged.

Bangladesh 124/5 in 33.2 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: It has come in 148 balls but the fact remains that this has been some fantastic backs-to-the-wall batting from these two. They stole two runs off the third ball and then ran one omore off the last to make it four off that over by Axar.

Bangladesh 123/5 in 33 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Hint of a reverse swing last ball of the 32nd over from Harshit Rana. Six runs came in that over, Hridoy on 42 off 74, Jaker on 42 off 76.

Bangladesh 119/5 in 32 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: It is a slow pitch and Bangladesh do have some world class spinners. India, on the other hand, have not had a great time against spin of late. And so even if Bangladesh manage to get about 230 runs here, with these two carrying on to put on a biggish stand at this run rate, they might actually stand a chance at pulling off one of the most famous wins in the history of the Champions Trophy. No.6 and No.7 digging and providing results is what we used to see in ODIs back in the 90s and so fans are getting to see a bit of a glimpse into the past here. If they are into that sort of a thing.

Bangladesh 113/5 in 31 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Now then, can he end this stand that is increasingly irritating for India.

Bangladesh 111/5 in 30 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: And it is a very good shot indeed to break the drought. Jaker had to dig out a yorker fourth ball of that over from Rana. Then Harshit goes full, Jaker presents the full face of the bat and plays a sumptuous on-drive for four.

IND vs BAN LIVE Score, Champions Trophy 2025: Four runs in that over from Shami but none of them from boundaries. Rohit now brings back Harshit Rana for the 30th over. The partnership between these two is now 68 off 122.

Bangladesh 103/5 in 29 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Now while these two have done well to deny India wickets this is not a Test match. The last boundary came in the 20th over, almost eight have gone without even a four which is never good news.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: And these two have now added 65 runs between themselves. But they will now feel that they need to get a move on. Shami continuing for the 29th over now.

Bangladesh 100/5 in 28.1 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: But no troubles whatsoever for the batters and so it looks like we are into that phase of the match where the bowlers have to break their backs to find a wicket, only for batters to tap it away for singles. Hridoy on 32 off 59, Jaker on 31 off 61. Their partnership is on 63 off 112.

Bangladesh 98/5 in 27 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score:The majority of fans here are Indians, although there is a strong minority of Bangladesh fans as well. This pitch is starting to look quite slow now and Jaker and Hridoy are showing their top order teammates how batting is done in ODIs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Pace returns in the form of Mohammed Shami now, he replaces Ravindra Jadeja in the 27th over. Jadeja had bowled six overs.

Bangladesh 95/5 in 26 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: And more mistakes in the field from India. This is quite puzzling for Rohit's side. Rahul failed to collect the first ball of the 23rd from Jadeja cleanly and Jaker had advanced out of his crease for that. This is a very good partnership brewing between these two, although they do have to climb Mount Everest here if Bangladesh are to post a competitive score.

Bangladesh 92/5 in 25 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Both batters have survived catching chances here. While Rohit's drop may be a freak incident, this one is just dozy. Hridoy backs away fifth ball of the 20th from Kuldeep and tries to hit it past mid-off. It comes off the lower half of the bat, Pandya didn't have to move much at mid-off at all and drops it. Inexcusable.

Bangladesh 79/5 in 20 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Well as is usually the case, these two are giving India a lot of room to spare as far as over rates go. At the same time, Jaker and Hridoy providing some much needed stability to Bangladesh as well. Jaker on 19 off 36, Hridoy on 18 off 35. Axar has bowled six overs now and Jadeja bowled three, Kuldeep to replace the latter in the 20th now.

Bangladesh 70/5 in 19 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Well 8 runs came in that 15th over by Axar and so a relatively good one at last for Bangladesh. Jaker Ali slashes Axar hard fifth ball of the over behind square, Kuldeep gives chase but can't stop it and so that's a four for Bangladesh. Jaker Ali on 15 off 19, Towhid Hridoy on 14 off 28.

Jadeja to continue after the drinks break.

Bangladesh 62/5 in 15 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: And now we have Ravindra Jadeja for the first time in the tournament in the 14th over. Hardik Pandya bowled a couple in the 10th and 12th overs and now Jadeja comes in to replace him. It means Bangladesh will have to deal with spin from both ends for a while. Not that they have fared far better against pace today. What an absolute horror start to the campaign for them. And to think Shanto was saying that they are looking to win the Champions Trophy. Well, might be a bit difficult to do that if your top four cannot put together 50 runs.

Bangladesh 50/5 in 13 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Axar draws the batter forward again, this time it is Jaker Ali, turns away again but this time the edge carries to slip and not the wicketkeeper. Came to Rohit's thighs, he had it! He had it in his hands and then it pops right out. India have been exceptional in the field today and then comes this goober.

Wow Jaker Ali gets off the mark next ball and then a dot. An incredible start for Axar, Rohit had apologised to him after pounding the turf, he seems inconsolable even after the end of the over. Fact remains, though, Bangladesh have been ripped to shreds here.

Bangladesh 36/5 in 9 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: What is going on here! Axar bowls the second one wide of the crease, a lot of flight. Mushfiqur drawn forward and it turns, takes the shoulder of the bat and Rahul makes no mistake again. No doubts this time, Axar knew that was a wicket, as did everyone in the stadium

Mushfiqur Rahim c Rahul b Patel 0 (1)

Bangladesh 35/4 in 8.3 overs

IND vs BAN LIVE Score, Champions Trophy 2025: KL Rahul is convinced he has taken the catch, Axar doesn't really even appeal but umpire Paul Reiffel lifts the finger! The batter even decides to not review! Then he wants to try and review after the timer has run out. What a bizarre sequence of events!

Hasan c Rahul b Patel 25 (25)

Bangladesh 35/4 in 8.2 overs

IND vs BAN LIVE Score, Champions Trophy 2025: Mohammed Shami has taken two wickets already and is now sitting on 199 ODI wickets. He will be the eighth Indian to reach that mark but he will have to wait for a chance to get there for now as Rohit Sharma brings in Axar Patel to bowl the first over of spin after Harshit Rana bowled the eighth.

Bangladesh 35/3 in 8 overs

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: Another one bites the dust, and it's Shami again! Some width to Miraz, who flashes at it and can only get a thick edge. Shubman Gill at wide slip, and it's another good sharp catch above his head.

India well ahead. 26/3 now.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: Bangladesh finding some runs against Shami. First Tanzid with another lovely loft over mid-on, before Mehidy Hasan Miraz pierces the off-side field for four more.

22/2 after 5.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: Almost bad to worse for Bangladesh! Shreyas Iyer is rapid in the ring, hunts down the ball and fires at the non-striker's end, where Tanzid has come down a touch too far.

It's inches from hitting the stumps, Tanzid would have been well short of the crease as he tried to get back.

13/2 after 4 overs.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: No holding back from Tanzid even as he's seen two partners fall already. Over cover against Shami for the first boundary, and steps out to cream one through the gap on the next.

11/2 after 3 overs now.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: Another one! This time it's Harshit. Angles it across, Shanto goes hard, but it's uppish. Kohli is in the perfect position to take a sharp catch at short cover.

2-2, Bangladesh already in huge trouble.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: Bang! There's the first wicket already.

Shami from around the wicket to the lefty Sarkar, gets one to seam in. It's a poor and loose shot, not there to drive, and an inside edge is easily puched by KL Rahul.

1-1 after the first over. Just the start.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: Shami takes the first over. India need to get overs into the legs of Shami and Harshit, particularly in this phase, with neither a typical new-ball bowler like Bumrah or Siraj.

A play and miss early on by Soumya Sarkar, who opens alongside Tanzid.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: Plenty of pride as these neighbouring nations sing their national anthems, and we are only seconds away from the first ball being bowled in Dubai.

Sunny out in the middle, the threat of rain ebbing away.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: Maybe a slight surprise as Bangladesh take in three seamers, but no Nahid Rana, who is so highly rated:

Tanzid Hasan, Soumya Sarkar, Towhid Hridoy, Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Jaker Ali, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Rishad Hossain, Tanzim Sakib, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: Two experienced stars return for India with Mohammed Shami and Ravindra Jadeja:

Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: Najmul Hossain Shanto is the one to win the toss, and opts to bat first in Dubai.

Rohit Sharma states he would have opted to field, left to be seen if it was a good toss to lose.

Team updates next.

IND vs BAN LIVE Score, Champions Trophy 2025: Seconds away from the toss now. Batting first might be the call to make here.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: Mel Jones out in the middle with the pitch report. Big boundaries, especially down the ground, but one side square is shorter, which might be targeted.

Not too much grass on the pitch itself, and only slight cracks in the pitch. Nasser Hussain states dew won't play a role in the evening, as per the grounds team.

Win toss and bat first kind of pitch, according to the former England captain. Toss in 10 minutes…

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: It didn’t go too well the last time India took Varun Chakravarthy into an ICC tournament in the UAE, but this is a different Varun, currently in red-hot form, on the back of a terrific Vijay Hazare Trophy and international return.

Rohit Sharma praised the spinner in his press conference:

“He has got something different which is why he is here with us. He has been impressive in the last eight to nine months. That is why we wanted to bring him here and see what he has and what he can do for India on the big stage."

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: India don’t have to be too concerned by Pandya’s lack of runs heading into the tournament, given he has been batting relatively low and in low-pressure situations. However, it will be concerning that he found himself dismissed cheaply multiple times. Can the powerful lower-order hitter find the sort of range that made his last Champions Trophy performance so memorable, albeit in a losing cause? It’s an added dimension to India’s batting that could make them terrifying.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: We could see a pair of hugely important marks being reached today by two of India’s greatest ODI players. Rohit Sharma is only 12 runs short of becoming only the fourth Indian player to reach the 11,000 ODI run mark, while Virat Kohli needs 37 to join Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara with 14,000+ ODI runs.

Do you back this duo to reach their targets today? Would be a great start to the tournament.

IND vs BAN LIVE Score, Champions Trophy 2025: Adding on to our earlier update, it seems now that the early part of the game could well be affected by rain. At 12:00 PM local time, Dubai is expecting some rainfall, with the match scheduled to begin at 1 PM local.

Dubai also had some rain yesterday, as it has had through the week, which could indicate that the weather might play a fairly significant role. One can hope it doesn't affect the match too much.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: Of course, in a tight group setting such as this one, every result impacts every other. New Zealand’s comfortable and dominant win over the hosts in the first match in Karachi will set the tone for the rest of these group stages: India know that all the pressure will be on Pakistan in that huge rivalry match, if they can get the job done against Bangladesh.

Conversely, Pakistan will be keeping an anxious eye on this match themselves. Finishing second or higher in this group is a non-negotiable, and already, that might mean needing results to start going their way.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025:… they suffered one of their most embarrassing defeats – first to Pakistan and then New Zealand to crash out of the 2021 T20 World Cup. It was the first time that Pakistan ever beat India in a World Cup, and also the only instance since the 2012 T20 World Cup that the Men in Blue failed to reach the knockout stage of an ICC event.

In 2022, it was Dubai again, where India stumbled in the Super 4s and couldn't progress to the final of the 2022 Asia Cup. Three years later, they are back at a venue they don't have the greatest memories of. But if there was ever a good time to create one, it's now.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: Questioned about the decision to take these many spin bowlers into the tournament, Rohit Sharma argued back, stating that was not how the team saw this combination.

"They are 2 spinners and 3 all-rounders. I am not looking at them as 5 spinners. Those three guys can bat and can bowl also. The rest of the teams have fast-bowling all-rounders. You don't ask them why they have 6 fast bowlers," argued Rohit.

"We work on our strengths and build our team around it. Axar Patel and Washington Sundar give us a different dimension to our squad. They give us a lot of depth. That is why we wanted to try and bring players who have 2 skills rather than one skill.”

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: Asked in his press conference about the potential difficulties of playing in tricky conditions in Dubai, Rohit Sharma was nonplussed, backing his team.

"If it's going to be overcast, we have the bowling arsenal to combat that. If there are overhead conditions helping the bowlers, we have the bowlers to exploit that. And if we bat in those overhead conditions, the batters know exactly what to do."

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: There’s actually been some rain in the air in Dubai, believe it or not, including long delays which have interrupted the ongoing tennis tournament happening in the city. Rain is also expected on the morning of matchday, but fortunately for the sake of cricket fans, not much is expected through the rest of the day, if at all.

There is, however, expected cloud cover throughout the second half of the day, which could create overcast conditions and might interest the team bowling second. Remains to be seen if the weather plays any role, though.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: Heading into the Champions Trophy, Bangladesh haven’t been in the best of form. Since the World Cup, they have only won four ODI matches, and lost 8, a win-loss record that won’t inspire too much confidence.

They dropped to a 3-0 whitewash loss against the West Indies, a team that hasn’t even qualified for this tournament, and even lost a warm-up game to the Pakistan Shaheens. It’s not been a happy road in for Shanto’s team, and confidence could be an issue.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: The last time these two teams faced each other in an ODI contest was in the 2023 World Cup, where Bangladesh became one of the teams India brushed aside in a perfect league stage effort.

Bangladesh batted first and set 256 in Pune, which was a disappointing total after a start of 93/0. India only required 41.3 overs to chase it down, with Virat Kohli scoring a century, helped out by KL Rahul at the other end as the chase became as much about getting Kohli to his century. Remember that?

However, the biggest impact from that game was Hardik Pandya’s injury just three deliveries into his spell, which ruled him out of the rest of the tournament.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: India's fate of playing the tournament in the UAE instead of Pakistan was the main piece of contention in the lead-up to this tournament, and that decision has come home to roost. The tracks in Pakistan are providing dream-like batting conditions on the evidence of the tri-series and the first match of this contest, and India are one of the teams who would really have benefited from playing on a surface such as that. The slower and lower a pitch, the more opposition teams seem to enter the fold: if those are the conditions India are faced with, it could spell some trouble for their future in this tournament. The strategy team waits to see with bated breath the sort of surface they are provided on Thursday.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: The rivalry between IND and BAN may not be as big as India vs Pakistan, or even India vs Australia per se, but over the years, the feud between these two sub-continent teams has intensified. It all began when Virender Sehwag downplayed the Bangladesh team ahead of the 2011 World Cup opener, especially how the Asian Tigers had upset the Men in Blue four years earlier in the West Indies. The series of hot-headed matches ever since added more meaning and emotions to India vs Bangladesh contests. Although India are miles ahead in head-to-head battles, leading 32-8, Bangladesh have repeatedly produced a result out of the blue.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: It's a difficult group for Bangladesh to be drawn into, against two Asian teams in Asian conditions, as well as New Zealand, who have shown plenty of quality against spin themselves. But there is more to Bangladesh now which they haven't possessed in the past: in Nahid Rana and Taskin Ahmed, they have a pair of pacers gifted with genuine pace, surrounded by a cast of wily veterans who know their way around tournament cricket by this point. The Tigers are by no means write-offs, even without Shakib Al Hasan, and the first team to treat them as such could very likely pay the price for that mistake.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: It has been an unhappy start to life for Gautam Gambhir as the coach of the Indian team. Test series losses at home to New Zealand and away in Australia have provided big sticks for his critics to poke him with, and the only way to get that off his back is by winning. No two ways about it. For Gambhir, that starts with providing a strong performance in the Champions Trophy. Any sort of failure simply will not be tolerated, you have to imagine.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: Conversely, India aren't carrying too many seamers into this tournament, with there having been some questions regarding whether an extra pacer could have been chosen. While Hardik Pandya’s bowling will provide confidence, there is a lot in the shoulders of a recovering Shami, and then on the raw Harshit Rana, with Gambhir looking likely to favour him over Arshdeep Singh. The new ball bowling against England was the one concern, and any laxness in this department will harm them exponentially more in the tournament.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: This, of course, is contingent largely on the form they showed against England, and you would do well to find a batting order in this tournament as hapless against spin as England looked. Bangladesh are likely to do much better on that front, and will in fact as a pretty good litmus test for teams like Pakistan and New Zealand – both excellent against spin, the two best statistically since the World Cup. India will still be confident, but cannot afford to get complacent.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: Five frontline spin options heading into a major tournament might feel like overkill, but it's something that Gautam Gambhir is making work. Ravindra Jadeja doing what he has for a decade and a half in the middle overs, Axar Patel his more-than-able deputy, and one of Varun Chakravarthy or Kuldeep Yadav to wreak havoc with their variety of spin. Any combination of these four consists of the some of the best spinners in the world, and getting up to 30 overs out of them is something no other team can replicate.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score: Not all soon and gloom from a batting perspective – not even close. Shubman Gill celebrated rising to being the number one ODI batter in the world yesterday, his average still touching 60. Rohit Sharma put some demons to bed with a beautiful century in Cuttack, and Shreyas Iyer looks like a batter who has been particularly crafted for this new brand of ODI cricket India want to play.

Add to that Axar Patel's development as a genuine middle order option, and the fact that the batting depth is incomparable, and it's easy to see why India are the favourites.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: It feels like Indian fans have been questioning when exactly Virat Kohli will click into gear for an eternity. During the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, then during his Ranji Trophy comeback, and again in the England series. It hasn't come about just yet. Surely he has to be telling himself it's now or never, right?

Indian fans are still seeing it as a matter of when, not if. Kohli cannot allow it to become an if.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025:There's no getting around it: given his monumental form and performances in the last few years, potentially the best bowler in the world is missing from this tournament, with Jasprit Bumrah not recovering from his back issue in time for the start of this tournament. Bumrah has been almost talismanic for India, especially in the last 6 or 7 months. India likely don't win the T20 World Cup without him, but even in his absence, will think they are good enough to create a result. Only time will tell how much Bumrah will be missed.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: India couldn't have asked for too much more heading into the CT. A 3-0 series whitewash over England will provide a mental boost for this set of players, ensuring they have some sort of momentum behind them despite a relative dearth of ODI cricket in recent months. India's 6 ODIs between the World Cup in 2023 and this tournament are the fewest of any team in the competition – but that doesn't make this well-rounded unit any less dangerous.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: It all starts here for India, as the men's team guns for a second successive triumph in a senior ICC competition. They begin with a contest against Group A opponents Bangladesh, who enter this group as the underdogs, but are always capable of sparking a result on the biggest stage. All the updates, right here!
