Match Highlights

Bangladesh’s Early Collapse & Hridoy’s Fightback

Bangladesh crumbled to 35/5 in 8.3 overs, but a dropped catch by Rohit Sharma denied Axar Patel a hat-trick and allowed Jaker Ali to survive. This lifeline paved the way for a resilient sixth-wicket stand, as Jaker Ali and Towhid Hridoy faced over 200 balls together. Hridoy’s fighting century (100 off 118) anchored the recovery, guiding Bangladesh to a respectable 228 in 49.4 overs.

  • Shami Strikes Again on the Big Stage: Mohammad Shami once again delivered in an ICC event, claiming a superb five-wicket haul (5/53 in 10 overs)

India’s Strong Start:

In response, India got off to a flying start, thanks to Rohit Sharma’s aggressive intent at the top.

Shubman Gill’s Stellar Form:

  • Has won 3 Player of the Match awards in India's 4 ODIs in 2025.
  • Scored a century on his Champions Trophy debut.
  • Becomes the fastest Indian to reach 8 ODI hundreds!

Historic Feat for Rohit Sharma: The ‘Hitman’ reaches 11,000 ODI runs, adding another milestone to his illustrious career.

Mohammad Shami’s Record-Breaking Spell:

  • Most five-wicket hauls by an Indian in ICC events.
  • Becomes the first Indian pacer to take a fifer in the Champions Trophy.
  • Now holds the record for most wickets for India in ICC limited-overs tournaments.
  • Second-fastest to 200 ODI wickets!
