India vs Bangladesh
Shubman Gill scored an outstanding hundred as India defeated Bangladesh by six wickets to claim their opening Champions Trophy match victory. Gill’s brilliant effort eased pressure off his side who trailed significantly at one stage during their campaign.
Mohammed Shami makes the breakthrough as Bangladesh’s sixth-wicket partnership reaches 154. Towhid Hridoy attempts a slog sweep off Ravindra Jadeja but is caught at first slip by Rahul.
Rohit Sharma attempted to move his team ahead with some aggressive strokeplay but fell prey to Taskin Ahmed’s clever batsmanry, miscuing his shot only for Shreyas Iyer to catch it easily in the deep. Bangladesh now require an explosive partnership in order to recover their position and return into contention for victory.
India batting first
Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat, and are making strong inroads in their first innings despite losing two wickets along the way. They appear poised to defend this total with confidence.
Jaker Ali and Towhid Hridoy had posted an impressive sixth-wicket partnership worth 154 runs; both have since been dismissed by Mohammed Shami.
He bowls a full and straight delivery, angling it towards Taskin Ahmed’s pads, whereby Taskin miscues his attempted flick shot and Shreyas Iyer comfortably takes the catch – his fifth wicket of the match. India now average three runs per over; their best start to an innings ever in ODI cricket and they are off to a good start at this Champions Trophy tournament; yet they need to continue performing well in their second-half innings for maximum points to come their way.
India bowling first
India pacer Al Fahad earns himself a significant scalp, as he dismisses Samiun Basir for 34 off 75 balls to prevent any late attacks from Bangladesh. India have taken control of this match thanks to Al Fahad’s big wicket.
FOUR! Samson produces an exquisite straight drive and outwits the cover-point defence to score four runs. From then on he slog sweeps back-of-a-length deliveries for another boundary!
KP Karthikeya and Andre Siddarth have made steady progress reassembling India’s run chase after losing two early wickets, scoring 20 runs in just over 4 overs since being joined together as they move towards reaching their target of 1,623.
India batting second
Shubman Gill is holding things together for India after early wickets fell, currently batting on 67* from 68 balls.
FOUR! He makes another run-scoring attempt by smashing it over midwicket for four runs – India’s first boundary since Vaibhav Suryavanshi fell.
KP Karthikeya (3*) and Andre Siddarth (20*) are currently working together to rebuild India’s run chase following two early blows, rotating strike regularly while keeping their asking rate under control. They appear to be doing an admirable job of doing just that.
India bowling third
Umpires decided to call off play as the light began deteriorating, leaving two balls into Mohammed Siraj over when they decided to depart.
Rohit Sharma attempted another big stroke but missed, giving Rishad Hossain one of his finest catches of the match.
Jadeja returns to the attack, and Hridoy takes full advantage by pulling off a four over midwicket off Jadeja’s back-length delivery for four. Bangladesh are showing good intent in their run rate increase but one big strike from Ashwin could change things dramatically; Rahim was dismissed by holding onto an outstanding catch at mid on and being out for 13.
India batting fourth
India may appear to have an easy task ahead of them in this matchup; however, to win it everything must go their way and Shubman Gill has already registered one fifty.
India’s spin twins have done damage for their side. Ashwin launches into an intriguing over, with both Shadman Islam and Zakir Hasan looking poised for a catch.
Rahul delivers a devastating blow to Bangladesh when he smashes Rahul’s length ball over mid-on for six, before taking single off Taskin and then hitting another six off him – exactly the sort of shots India needs to keep them competitive in this match.
India bowling fifth
Rohit Sharma had anticipated taking advantage of the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium pitch which traditionally offers some assistance to fast bowlers, yet Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto quickly exploited these conditions as India lost wickets regularly due to ambitious shots to good-length bowling with little seam movement.
On his second delivery, Sky smacked a SIX over deep midwicket for six runs before hitting four to long-on for four more. India are now at 252/4 after 17 overs.
Hasan Mahmud caught Virat Kohli off his back foot for an lbw catch, prompting India to appeal, only for it to be overturned on review and India need 45 runs to win this Test match.
India batting sixth
Rohit and Rahul have overcome an initial slow start in the chase to take control. Rahul guides a short ball past point for four runs while Kohli follows it up with an elegant sweep for one wicket.
Kiran Chormale strikes another blow for India as Farid Hasan of Bangladesh was dismissed for 13. Bangladesh attempted to chase after another boundary off that same over but missed and it slipped narrowly past Hardik Raj, diving keeper of India’s fielding side.
India are trying to achieve an unprecedented ninth One-Day International win at Kanpur. But Azizul Haque won’t make their task easy: after trying for an ambitious shot but being caught by Yudhajit Guha for four consecutive times (that being his final catch of the innings!), Azizul Haque was replaced with Mominul Haque; three dot balls came from Harshit Sethi during this over.
India bowling seventh
India’s bowlers have performed admirably so far on a pitch which should favour spinners. Axar Patel made an early impact, taking two wickets with leg-before wicket catches from Tanzid Hasan and Mehidy Hasan Miraz being caught behind for Rahul by Axar Patel – catching both early.
Bangladesh quickly recovered thanks to an impressive sixth-wicket stand of 154 runs between Towhid Hridoy and Jaker Ali that saw them recover from 35/5 to post an respectable total, Hridoy reaching his maiden international hundred during this innings.
R Ashwin strikes again, dismissing Zakir Hasan LBW when the ball struck into his stumps. With this five-wicket haul in one day internationals (ODIs), Ashwin now joins Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav as among India’s fastest Indians to 200 wickets within this format.
India batting eighth
India are well on their way to another Champions Trophy final victory after taking two more wickets against Mustafizur Rashid. Shreyas Iyer attempts consecutive boundaries but misses one and the ball falls into the hands of their mid off fielder instead.
R. Ashwin dismisses Zakir Hasan for 10 LBW after his ball hits into the stumps, then trapping Shadman Islam leg before wicket as Bangladesh review their decision but cannot gain success in getting him.
Jadeja began bowling the 44th over, and Hridoy took two singles off the first ball before hitting one over deep midwicket for six, taking him up to 88 off 118 now. Rahul got off strike the next ball but missed an important stumping opportunity against Nahid Rana; that wicket would have brought down Hridoy to career-best 95 runs off just 118 balls; Axar entered at one end.
