231/4(46.3 Overs)
There have been 55 instances of an Indian bowler taking a 5-wicket haul in ODIs - the team has lost only 6 times. The last time India lost when its bowler took a 5-fer was way back in 2019 when Shami's 5/69 went in vain against England in Birmingham. This is the 10th occasion since that date, that an Indian bowler has taken a Michelle, with all the previous 9 resulting in wins. So, are these 228 runs enough on this pitch? This surface does have spin and turn to offer and isnât that easy to sco
For India, Mohammad Shami picked up a five-wicket haul and bowled brilliantly as he completed his full quota of overs for the first time in his comeback in ODI after the World Cup 2023. Axar and Harshit also chipped in with two and three wickets respectively to give their contribution. Also, on the last 3 occasions that a player from Bangladesh has scored a century in an ODI, it has resulted in a loss for the team twice. However, the last time it happened was when Najmul Hossain Shanto scored
Axar Patel is down for a quick chat. He starts by addressing the hat-trick ball and says that he immediately went on to celebrate when he saw the edge but was gutted when the catch got put down and adds that these things happen. Reckons that yes, if they got that wicket, the innings could have ended sooner but the track did get better for batting. Mentions that the wicket is quite slow and it might get even slower in the chase. Adds that his role is whatever the team need him to do, whether be
Hridoy and Jaker batted for more than 34 overs, both reaching their half-centuries and setting the record for the highest sixth-wicket partnership in Champions Trophy history. Once they got set, they started accelerating, playing more attacking shots. Eventually, Shami broke the partnership by dismissing Jaker Ali, and in the process, he became the joint-second fastest bowler in terms of matches to take 200 ODI wickets. But by then, Bangladesh had already built a strong platform for the lower o
Rohit Sharmaâs decision to bring spin into the powerplay worked perfectly, as Axar Patel struck twice in consecutive deliveries, both caught behind by KL Rahul. He almost got a hat-trick, but Rohit himself dropped a catch at first slip off Jaker Aliâs edge. The Indian skipper looked frustrated with that missed opportunity. Then came the defining partnership of the innings, 154 runs between Tawhid Hridoy and Jaker Ali. They handled the spin trio of Jadeja, Kuldeep, and Axar brilliantly, foc
Mohammad Shami set the tone right from the first over, bowling five dot balls before dismissing Soumya Sarkar on the last delivery. In the very next over, Harshit Rana proved too tricky and raw for Bangladeshâs skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto, who went for an ambitious drive but ended up giving a simple catch to Virat Kohli at cover. As the captain, Shanto should have taken more responsibility and spent some time at the crease, especially after an early wicket, but he failed to do so. Tanzid
That is a good comeback by Bangladesh as they have posted a total of 228! All the credit goes to just two batters, Jaker Ali and Tawhid Hridoy. When Bangladesh lost five wickets for just 35 runs, they were on the verge of getting bowled out without playing the full 50 overs. But these two showed incredible patience and determination at the crease, helping their team cross the 200-run mark. Early in the powerplay, Bangladeshâs batting was terrible, as none of the top six, except Hridoy, trie
Harshit Rana to Tawhid Hridoy, ! CAUGHT! Mohammad Shami hangs on to a steepler of a catch and Harshit Rana closes things off as Bangladesh are all out in the final over of the innings. Rana hits the hard length around middle, Tawhid Hridoy tries to stay low and get under it but ends up getting a top edge that lands around leg gully. Shami goes in from short fine leg and takes the catch, marking the end of a gem of a knock from Hridoy. He gets out on exactly 100 runs and BangladeshÂ

Mohammad Shami to Tawhid Hridoy, A huge roar from the Bangladeshi supporters and rightly so too. A HUNDRED FOR HRIDOY, his maiden ton in ODI cricket and it couldn't have come at a more crucial time.

Oh, dear! Tawhid Hridoy is down on the ground, again. He looks in a lot of pain due to the cramp on his left leg. The physio is out in no time to check him up. Hridoy is being helped with some stretching exercises. He is supported to get up on his feet by the physio and takes some fluids to stay hydrated and gulps in a couple of tablets as well. Looks fine to continue now, after a long delay.Â
Mohammad Shami to Tawhid Hridoy, Tawhid Hridoy is seriously struggling with fitness now and is down on the ground in agonizing pain.

Kuldeep Yadav to Jaker Ali, No run.

We are just a few minutes away from the start of this contest. But first, the officials will come out to the middle and so will the two sets of players who will line up for their respective national anthems. It will be the national anthem of India first, followed by the national anthem of Bangladesh.
The captain of India, Rohit Sharma says that they would have fielded first as he feels that when they played here a few years back, it was better to chase the target. Adds that they now just need to focus on what to do with the ball and says that the squad is fit and ready to go and it is about creating some momentum. Mentions that the case with any ICC tournament is that there's no looking back and every game matters which makes it exciting. Informs that from the last ODI they played, Varun Ch
The captain of Bangladesh, Najmul Hossain Shanto says that they would like to bat first as it looks like a good wicket and they want to put some runs on the board. Adds that the last couple of days have been really exciting as all the boys in the squad are really preparing well and they are coming off recently concluded BPL so they are in good momentum. Mentions that he just wants to play well today and the team should believe in themselves to do good. Further adds that there are a couple of in
India (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul (WK), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Mohammad Shami, Kuldeep Yadav.

TOSS UPDATE - The coin flip lands in the favor of Bangladesh and Najmul Hossain Shanto elects to BAT first.
There have been 55 instances of an Indian bowler taking a 5-wicket haul in ODIs - the team has lost only 6 times. The last time India lost when its bowler took a 5-fer was way back in 2019 when Shami's 5/69 went in vain against England in Birmingham. This is the 10th occasion since that date, that an Indian bowler has taken a Michelle, with all the previous 9 resulting in wins. So, are these 228 runs enough on this pitch? This surface does have spin and turn to offer and isnât that easy to sco
For India, Mohammad Shami picked up a five-wicket haul and bowled brilliantly as he completed his full quota of overs for the first time in his comeback in ODI after the World Cup 2023. Axar and Harshit also chipped in with two and three wickets respectively to give their contribution. Also, on the last 3 occasions that a player from Bangladesh has scored a century in an ODI, it has resulted in a loss for the team twice. However, the last time it happened was when Najmul Hossain Shanto scored
Axar Patel is down for a quick chat. He starts by addressing the hat-trick ball and says that he immediately went on to celebrate when he saw the edge but was gutted when the catch got put down and adds that these things happen. Reckons that yes, if they got that wicket, the innings could have ended sooner but the track did get better for batting. Mentions that the wicket is quite slow and it might get even slower in the chase. Adds that his role is whatever the team need him to do, whether be
Hridoy and Jaker batted for more than 34 overs, both reaching their half-centuries and setting the record for the highest sixth-wicket partnership in Champions Trophy history. Once they got set, they started accelerating, playing more attacking shots. Eventually, Shami broke the partnership by dismissing Jaker Ali, and in the process, he became the joint-second fastest bowler in terms of matches to take 200 ODI wickets. But by then, Bangladesh had already built a strong platform for the lower o
Rohit Sharmaâs decision to bring spin into the powerplay worked perfectly, as Axar Patel struck twice in consecutive deliveries, both caught behind by KL Rahul. He almost got a hat-trick, but Rohit himself dropped a catch at first slip off Jaker Aliâs edge. The Indian skipper looked frustrated with that missed opportunity. Then came the defining partnership of the innings, 154 runs between Tawhid Hridoy and Jaker Ali. They handled the spin trio of Jadeja, Kuldeep, and Axar brilliantly, foc
Mohammad Shami set the tone right from the first over, bowling five dot balls before dismissing Soumya Sarkar on the last delivery. In the very next over, Harshit Rana proved too tricky and raw for Bangladeshâs skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto, who went for an ambitious drive but ended up giving a simple catch to Virat Kohli at cover. As the captain, Shanto should have taken more responsibility and spent some time at the crease, especially after an early wicket, but he failed to do so. Tanzid
That is a good comeback by Bangladesh as they have posted a total of 228! All the credit goes to just two batters, Jaker Ali and Tawhid Hridoy. When Bangladesh lost five wickets for just 35 runs, they were on the verge of getting bowled out without playing the full 50 overs. But these two showed incredible patience and determination at the crease, helping their team cross the 200-run mark. Early in the powerplay, Bangladeshâs batting was terrible, as none of the top six, except Hridoy, trie
Harshit Rana to Tawhid Hridoy, ! CAUGHT! Mohammad Shami hangs on to a steepler of a catch and Harshit Rana closes things off as Bangladesh are all out in the final over of the innings. Rana hits the hard length around middle, Tawhid Hridoy tries to stay low and get under it but ends up getting a top edge that lands around leg gully. Shami goes in from short fine leg and takes the catch, marking the end of a gem of a knock from Hridoy. He gets out on exactly 100 runs and BangladeshÂ

Mohammad Shami to Tawhid Hridoy, A huge roar from the Bangladeshi supporters and rightly so too. A HUNDRED FOR HRIDOY, his maiden ton in ODI cricket and it couldn't have come at a more crucial time.

Oh, dear! Tawhid Hridoy is down on the ground, again. He looks in a lot of pain due to the cramp on his left leg. The physio is out in no time to check him up. Hridoy is being helped with some stretching exercises. He is supported to get up on his feet by the physio and takes some fluids to stay hydrated and gulps in a couple of tablets as well. Looks fine to continue now, after a long delay.Â
Mohammad Shami to Tawhid Hridoy, Tawhid Hridoy is seriously struggling with fitness now and is down on the ground in agonizing pain.
