Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Jaker-Hridoy settling in

Jaker Ali and Towhid Hridoy are both into the double digits now. Slow, but steady. Bangladesh haven’t lost a wicket in more than 6 overs now. 

BAN 57/5 (14.4)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Now Jadeja

Hardik Pandya taken off the bowling attack after 2 overs. We’ll now have left-arm spinners in tandem. Ravindra Jadeja into the attack.

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: No answer for Axar

3 overs, 2 wickets, 5 runs conceded. Absolutely incredible stuff from Axar Patel so far.

BAN 50/5 (13)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Welcome boundary

Well-timed! Towhid Hridoy cuts hard, picks up 4! Places it well, between gully and point. 

BAN 49/5 (12)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Absolute. Cinema.

That over by Axar Patel was pure drama. Two wickets in two balls, carbon copy dismissals. Five fielders then set for the hattrick ball, but the Indian captain drops the chance. India wouldn’t mind it too much, they’re in the driving seat here.

BAN 44/5 (11.3)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: 10 overs done

10 overs done. Hardik Pandya closes out the powerplay. Wow. India wouldn’t have imagined such a start in their wildest dreams. Utter utter domination. 

BAN 39/5 (10)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Rohit absolutely livid

Rohit Sharma was absolutely livid on himself after that dropped chance. Banged the ground in anger. It was a sitter, make no mistake, and he put his hand up as well to apologize to Axar Patel. 

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: ROHIT DROPS, no hattrick!

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! Rohit Sharma had an easy, easy catch but drops it at slip! Axar Patel doesn’t get his hattrick. Rohit bangs the ground in fury, and then apologizes to Axar. 

BAN 35/5 (8.4)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: OUT, AGAIN!

Axar Patel is on a hattrick! Mushfiqur Rahim duck! Carbon copy, just reverse. Caught by KL Rahul once again. 

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: OUT!

Axar strikes, second ball! Tanzid departs. KL Rahul takes a superb catch, and celebrated straight away. Umpire Paul Reiffel took a good few seconds to raise his finger, but it ultimately went up. Bangladesh 4-down!

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Change in attack!

 Spin for the first time today. Axar Patel brought into the attack, replacing Mohammed Shami.

BAN 35/3 (8.1)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: 4 more, Tanzid!

Fourth boundary for Tanzid Hasan. Comes down the track, this time against Harshit Rana. Clears mid-off, and the ball trickles over to the boundary rope.

BAN 34/3 (7.4)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Close!

Big appeal from Team India for a caught behind, but umpire says no. Replays show the ball brushed off the pad, without any edge. Towhid Hridoy the batter in question.

BAN 27/3 (7.1)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: OUT!

Mohammed Shami again! Beautiful teases the batter into playing a drive, Mehidy mistimes it and a crisp catch by Shubman Gill at slip. Mohammed Shami now just one strike away from 200 ODI wickets now.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz – OUT – c Gill b Shami – 5(10)

BAN 26/3 (6.3)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Great start by Harshit

Harshit Rana has started superbly. A wicket, and just 7 runs given away in his three overs so far. Bangladesh have found some success against Shami, but no boundaries off Harshit yet.

BAN 26/2 (6)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Glorious shot for 4

Mehidy Hasan Miraz, sweet timing! Width offered by Shami, glorious drive through the covers. Second boundary of the over. All boundaries so far have come against Shami. The Bangladesh batters seem to be going after him here.

BAN 22/2 (5)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Tanzid feasting

Tanzid Hasan is taking the risks against Mohammed Shami here. Third boundary for the left-hander. Clears the in-field, takes the aerial route. Good shot.

BAN 17/2 (4.2)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Nearly a run out!

Mixup between the Bangladesh batters! Tanzid Hasan was halfway down the pitch, Mehidy sent him back. Shreyas Iyer with the throw from short square leg, and a direct hit would’ve sent Tanzid packing.

IND 13/2 (4)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Nearly onto the stumps!

Tanzid trying to go big again, takes a big inside edge and so nearly dragged it back onto his stumps. A big deflection of his heel saves Tanzid.

BAN 11/2 (3.2)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Two boundaries in a row!

Tanzid Hasan finally getting the scoreboard rolling for Bangladesh! First goes aerial, and then comes down the track and drives it gloriously through the covers.

BAN 11/2 (3)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Incredible start

Team India could’ve asked for nothing more. Straight out of the blocks, and Bangladesh are on the back foot. Two crucial top order batters back in the hut.

BAN 2/2 (2)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: OUT!

Harshit strikes! Shanto goes for a duck! Bangladesh are in absolute tatters here. Captain Shanto swings, and hits it straight to Kohli at point. Terrific start for Team India.

Najmul Hossain Shanto – OUT – c Kohli b Harshit – 0(2)

BAN 2/2 (1.4)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Harshit Rana takes new ball

Harshit Rana has been preferred over Hardik Pandya here, to take the new ball. 

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: OUT!

Mohammed Shami STRIKES! What a start for Team India. Soumya Sarkar has to go back for a duck. Great over by Shami, he has the ball swinging in. Sarkar goes for a needless drive, and an easy catch behind for KL Rahul.

Soumya Sarkar – OUT – c Rahul b Shami – 0(5)

BAN 1/1 (1)

Tanzid Hasan and Soumya Sarkar to open the batting for Bangladesh. Rohit Sharma hands the ball to Mohammed Shami, for the opening over.

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Here we go!

Tanzid Hasan and Soumya Sarkar to open the batting for Bangladesh. Rohit Sharma hands the ball to Mohammed Shami, for the opening over.

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Time for the national anthems!

Here come the players on to the field of play. Bangladesh and India, two sides who clashed in the 2017 Champions Trophy semi-final, go head-to-head in the group stage here.

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: 3 spin options

India are going with three frontline spin options, as expected: Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel will hope to tighten the screws, while Kuldeep provides the wrist spin option as well.

It is a strategy that has worked wonders for India in the lead up to the Champions Trophy. Will Bangladesh be good enough to handle the pressure?

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Who takes the new ball?

Mohammed Shami will certainly bowl the first over, but will we see Harshit Rana take the new ball or Hardik Pandya? With Harshit excelling in the middle overs, we could see Hardik being given that responsibility.

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Big decisions taken

Choosing the best set of pacers without Bumrah would’ve always been a difficult task, but India have given their vote of confidence to Shami and Harshit Rana, over Arshdeep!

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Bangladesh XI

Bangladesh’s XI vs India:

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

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: India’s XI

India’s XI vs Bangladesh:

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

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: TWO BIG CHANGES!

No Arshdeep Singh! Harshit Rana and Mohammed Shami will be India’s frontline pacers for today. Varun Chakaravarthy also misses out, with Ravindra Jadeja entering the XI.

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Bangladesh opt to bat!

Najmul Hossain Shanto has won the toss, and opted to bat against India! 

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Toss time soon!

We are just 5 minutes away from toss time at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Rohit Sharma will be leading Team India, while Najmul Hossain Shanto leads Bangladesh.

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: The form of Virat, Rohit

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will undeniably hold the key to India’s success. The duo showed glimpses of their old form in the England series – Virat hit a crisp fifty, Rohit smashed a blazing ton – but can they carry it forward?

Champions Trophy 2025 Live: Impressive Varun Chakravarthy

If the recent form is the yardstick then ‘mystery spinner’ Varun Chakravarthy should get the nod, but Kuldeep showed his readiness while outwitting some reputed batters in the nets here on Tuesday. But India can take consolation from the fact that Bangladesh are going through turmoil of their own, weakened by the absence of stars like Shakib Al Hasan.

India vs Bangladesh Live: 3 spinners for India?

Other than Arshdeep, India is likely to go with three spinners with Hardik Pandya as the fast bowling all-rounder. But herein too, India will have to ponder over who is the third spinner behind primary choices Ravindra Jadeja and Axar. They have a tough selection to make between left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy.

India vs Bangladesh Live: Arshdeep or Rana?

India have to choose between Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana as the new-ball partner of lead pacer Mohammed Shami, who will have to lift his game by a few notches here. Rana might have been impressive so far in his outings, and he has the ability to hustle the batters with sheer pace and bounce even on the most docile of pitches. But, at this moment, Arshdeep is the frontrunner to share the newball duties because of the left-arm angle and the variety he possesses in his bowling.
