A big appeal for LBW against Rohit Sharma! Mustafizur Rahman goes over the wicket and gets one to angle in, trapping Rohit on the crease. The length forces him to play across the line, but the ball doesn’t straighten enough. Bangladesh contemplates a review but decides against it.

India’s chase of 229 begins with an exciting milestone in sight for skipper Rohit Sharma, who is just 12 runs away from reaching 11,000 runs in ODIs. Alongside him is the No. 1 ranked ODI batter, Shubman Gill, as they aim for a strong start under the lights in Dubai.

India strategically chose to chase, expecting better batting conditions as the pitch dries out, though there are concerns it could become trickier later. Bangladesh, led by Taskin Ahmed with the new ball, will look for early breakthroughs to put India under pressure.

With a deep batting lineup featuring Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, and KL Rahul, India appears well-positioned to chase down the target. However, Bangladesh’s attack, especially with spinners later on, could test them. A solid powerplay start will be key for India’s comfortable pursuit of victory.

India is set to chase a target of 229 runs against Bangladesh in their Champions Trophy 2025 opener at the Dubai International Stadium. Bangladesh’s innings, anchored by Towhid Hridoy’s resilient maiden international century, saw them recover from a precarious 35/5 to post a total of 228 all out. Mohammed Shami was instrumental for India, claiming a five-wicket haul. Given the batting-friendly conditions in Dubai and India’s strong batting lineup, featuring the likes of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli, the target appears achievable. However, successful execution will depend on a solid start and partnerships throughout the innings.

Towhid Hridoy played a remarkable innings under pressure, scoring his maiden international century to guide Bangladesh to a competitive 228 against India in Dubai. The team was in deep trouble at 35 for 5, but Hridoy (100 off 118) and Jaker Ali (68 off 114) stitched a crucial partnership to ensure Bangladesh had a respectable total to defend.

Mohammed Shami was the standout performer for India, claiming 5/53, his fifth five-wicket haul in ICC ODI tournaments. Harshit Rana also impressed with 3/31, while Axar Patel picked up two wickets. However, India’s fielding looked below par, and their intensity dropped in the middle overs after a fiery start.

With a decent pitch and a strong batting lineup, India will back themselves to chase this total comfortably. Bangladesh, however, will hope their bowlers can make early inroads and put pressure on the Men in Blue.

After a valiant effort from Towhid Hridoy (100 off 118 balls, 6×4, 2×6), Bangladesh‘s innings comes to an end as Harshit Rana claims the final wicket. Mohammed Shami was the pick of the bowlers with 5/51, while Rana finished with 3/37.

Can India chase down 229 comfortably, or will Bangladesh make it a contest?

Mohammed Shami continues his brilliant spell, picking up his fifth wicket as Taskin Ahmed departs for 3 runs. Shami gets him caught by Shreyas Iyer, further denting Bangladesh’s hopes of a strong finish.

With just one wicket left, can Towhid Hridoy guide Bangladesh past 240, or will India wrap things up quickly?

Towhid Hridoy has reached his first-ever ODI century, a remarkable innings under pressure! Coming in when Bangladesh was struggling at 35/5, Hridoy has played a heroic knock, guiding his team past 220 runs. The dressing room erupts in applause as he removes his helmet and soaks in the moment.

Mohammed Shami continues his impressive spell, picking up four wickets so far. Towhid Hridoy is just four runs away from a century, standing strong at 96 off 109 balls. With only three overs left, can he reach the milestone and push Bangladesh to a competitive total?

Mohammed Shami delivers, but Towhid Hridoy finds the gap beautifully, driving it for four. He moves to 93 off 106 balls, keeping Bangladesh‘s hopes alive. Score: 218/8 in 46.3 overs. Can he reach his century?

Mohammed Shami continues his stellar spell, dismissing Tanzim Hasan Sakib (0 off 4) as he drags one onto his stumps. Bangladesh now 214/8 in 46.1 overs, with Towhid Hridoy unbeaten on 89. Can they still put up a competitive total?
