India vs Bangladesh LIVE Scorecard | Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Rohit Sharma Denies Axar Patel Hat-Trick, Hardik Pandya Drops…

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: 50 PARTNERSHIP

A big achievement for Bangladesh given the context of the match. 50-run partnership between Jaker Ali and Towhid Hridoy. It has come off 88 balls.

BAN 85/5 (22.2)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Economical from Kuldeep

A good return by Kuldeep. Just 1 run off his second over. The partnership continues to be slow but steady, and Bangladesh are at least getting towards something here.

BAN 84/5 (22)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Another drop!

Put down, again! Jaker Ali gets no timing, it was towards Hardik Pandya at mid-off, but the all-rounder fails to grab it properly. Second lifeline for Jaker, after Rohit Sharma’s dropped catch.

Could these mistakes come back to bite India?

BAN 79/5 (20)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Free hit, 4!

Kuldeep Yadav bowls a no-ball, and Towhid Hridoy makes him pay on the free-hit. Finds the gap at mid-wicket, picks up a boundary.

BAN 76/5 (19.2)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Here comes Kuldeep!

The chinaman enters the action to bowl the 20th over. Finger spin to wrist spin, then. Can he break this partnership?

BAN 71/5 (19.1)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: 10 overs without wicket

Jaker Ali and Towhid Hridoy have held ground for more than 10 overs now. Much-needed sense of stability after the chaos of the first 10 overs. 

BAN 70/5 (19)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Unique shot tried by Jaker

Jaker tries to paddle scoop Ravindra Jadeja, gets the execution all wrong. The ball ricochets off towards the other side, and is lucky to not find a fielder. Just 1 run off Jadeja’s over.

BAN 66/5 (18)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Maiden over

Axar Patel now picks up a maiden over. 5-1-13-2. That’s how his figures read. Sensational stuff from the left-arm spinner.

BAN 65/5 (17)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: Action resumes

Ravindra Jadeja continues with the ball. Can Bangladesh build on this partnership? Or can India keep the wickets flowing?

BAN 63/5 (15.2)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: 15 overs done

Axar Patel’s first slightly expensive over of the day. 7 off it. Jaker picked up a boundary there, well placed through third man. 15 overs up.

BAN 62/5 (15)

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)

Champions Trophy 2025 LIVE: First ball, first run

 Bangladesh are off the mark with an inside edge on the first ball.

BAN 1/0 (0.1)

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: 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.
