India (231/4) defeat Bangladesh (228) by 6 wickets to make a triumphant start to their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 campaign

[RizwanT20Champ]

What did rizwan do yesterday??
We know how u went into ur bil during yesterdays match.

Rizwan had a bad day. This is Kohli's regular day these days. Rizwan bad day = normal day for Kohli LOL!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Babar was chasing much bigger total , If India was chasing similar one , Kohli would have been more aggressive , would have been out maybe , but would have shown more intent.

Kohli is well past standing on last legs.

 

[Devadwal]

Trust me noone is happer that BD is losing, utterly mediocre team with no redeeming quality. A mohalla team from anywhere in Peshawar would produce more exciting players than these jokers.

Yes I have seen last night how Pakistan team performed. Wait for Bangladesh vs pakistan game

 

[jamie smith]

Didnt u see yesterdays match??

He will wet his pants vs Shaheen and co as usual.

 

[baba ghazi]

He lost his pole to a random J&K bowler. So he can literally get out to any bowler from Pakistan. Salman Ali agha to Saud Shakeel

dont thing a fast bowler from first class cricket is a " random" bowler..esp in red ball cricket..

 

[Thanos]

Gill's momentum lost only after Kohli arrived though. He lost his strike for a very long time where he allowed spinners to get away with cheap overs. He got a lot of half trackers. Hit everything straight to fielder

You expect a new batsman that too no 3 to come and score with aggression?
I agree that he is struggling but we weren't chasing 320. So there was no need for him to play recklessly.

 

[Devadwal]

Rizwan had a bad day. This is Kohli's regular day these days. Rizwan bad day = normal day for Kohli LOL!

Kohli is best ever player to Played the Limited overs cricket. Kha Rizwan

 

[mominsaigol]

Yes I have seen last night how Pakistan team performed. Wait for Bangladesh vs pakistan game

Bangladesh will probably win, they have better spinners and bowlers and a better lower order. More Bangladeshi players in my fantasy 11 then Pakistani.

 

[Justcrazy]

Shubman Gill - last four ODI innings
87(96)
60(52)
112(102)
50*(69)

The form he is in , he may break Javed Miandad record.

 

[sweep_shot]

India lose another wicket.

133/3.

 

[mominsaigol]

Kohli is best ever player to Played to Limited overs cricket. Kha Rizwan

Viv is

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Didnt u see yesterdays match??

Gill : ODI average 60 (fraud, scoring soft runs in meaningless games). ODI average vs Pak 28. This is an Indian batsman in a nutshell. Don't run away on 23rd.

 

[baba ghazi]

big wicket for bangladesh..indias best batter against spin gone back..they could now claw back

 

[Devadwal]

Iyer bhai this is slow pitch and trundler fizz is bowling .

Pathetic shot

 

[Sachin fan]

You expect a new batsman that too no 3 to come and score with aggression?
I agree that he is struggling but we weren't chasing 320. So there was no need for him to play recklessly.

He was not fluent even in defense, all the signs are there, he is past it even in ODIs

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

I have never lost any argument. You getting frustrated is a clear sign of that. India tampered pitches. Cummins even claimed it, too bad Australia beat India at their own game . Never mess with travis head.

Head averaged 30 in SRL, should have called up Sidhu. He might have helped that HTB.

 

[Devadwal]

Bangladesh will probably win, they have better spinners and bowlers and a better lower order. More Bangladeshi players in my fantasy 11 then Pakistani.

Not sure about winning but match is going to be intresting.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Stay calm.
Bapu will lead us to triumph.

 

[Thanos]

If 2 more quick wickets fall, people will realise why it was best for Kohli to play with his safety first approach. Lol

 

[jamie smith]

Kohlis acheivements:3 wc trophies,5 asia cups,82 centuries,3 player of the year awards.
Rizwans acheivements:Momentum and ya tou win hai ya tou learn hai.

Rizwan had a bad day. This is Kohli's regular day these days. Rizwan bad day = normal day for Kohli LOL!

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Rizwan had a bad day. This is Kohli's regular day these days. Rizwan bad day = normal day for Kohli LOL!

The problem is that Kohli has won all three icc limited over trophies and has a great record too. Rizwan on the other hand hasn’t won a single cup yet, he hasn’t even won an asia cup.

 

[mominsaigol]

Head averaged 30 in SRL, should have called up Sidhu. He might have helped that HTB.

Well he certainly helped Australia deny india a wc 23 .

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Rizwans acheivements:Momentum and ya tou win hai ya tou learn hai.

152/0

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Devdal is still fine but this BVB who only posts in every post and thinks that's funny and insightful. Never seen a more vacuous poster than this guy with the possible exception of sweep.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Everyone stop crying about strike rate and intent, it’s not easy out there.

We might lose this.

Bapu and Gill bhai better play sensible

 

[Devadwal]

Bangladesh is back in this game .this is pitch where you can't play big shots .

Axar need to understand this and just build a 40 odd runs partnership

 

[Thanos]

He was not fluent even in defense, all the signs are there, he is past it even in ODIs

I already mentioned that he was struggling. But he is not going anywhere before CT ends atleast. So what's the harm if he tries to get his form back in a not so big target chase.

 

[jamie smith]

Kohli has defeated pak numerous times.
so what is special about it??

152/0

 

[Justcrazy]

Axar ahead of pandya , to maintain right and left combo.

 

[Thanos]

Bangladesh is back in this game .this is pitch where you can't play big shots .

What are you saying. If Kohli hasn't came at 3, India would've finished this game in 30 overs.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Guys focus on the match instead

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Kohli has defeated pak numerous times.
so what is special about it??

When has he defeated Pak by 10 wickets? Utter humiliation. In the biggest games he always got smacked. Like CT final where Aamer and Babar got him to his knees.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Come on boys. Finish this match in 40 overs.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Kohli's innings sucked the life out of the chase.

What an embarrassment Kohli has become.

 

[sweep_shot]

90 are needed off 123 balls.

Need to keep it tight.

 

[baba ghazi]

really not sure why axar is being preferred instead of kl rahalul... kl is a good odi batter and these type of consition is ideal for him..

 

[Ab Fan]

Axar Patel is the greatest Asian left handed batsman in white ball cricket history.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Bapu showing show it’s done.

Shot!

 

[sweep_shot]

IND - 144/3 (30 overs).

85 are needed from 20 overs.

 

[baba ghazi]

bangladesh is playing one spinner short..pacers will not be effective on these pitches..

 

[jamie smith]

Logic died here.
Did u forget kohlis 183 and 82 against pak.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

I am sure Gill is eyeing another worthless 100 against BD.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Axar Patel is the greatest Asian left handed batsman in white ball cricket history.

Gone

 

[sweep_shot]

Axar is out.

Game on?

144/4.

 

[jamie smith]

Rishad u beauty.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Logic died here.
Did u forget kohlis 183 and 82 against pak.

One was Asia Cup, the other was a group game lol!

 

[Justcrazy]

India lost another wicket , but they have batting till 8

 

[Cover Drive Six]

I am sure Gill is eyeing another worthless 100 against BD.

Any innings played for a winning cause is never worthless.

 

[baba ghazi]

really not sure why axar is being preferred instead of kl rahalul... kl is a good odi batter and these type of consition is ideal for him..

told you..brain fade decision to send a bowling allrounder ahead of pure batters on this pitch

 

[captain.hansolo]

I'm not trying to hate here my Indian brothers, but aren't there too many Indian commentators for this tournament.

Ravi Shastri, Sunil Gavaskar, Hashra Bhogle & Dinesh Karthik.... too many no?

Yes my Pakistani brother, erudite commentators from across the border are few and far inbetween.

 

[sweep_shot]

bangladesh is playing one spinner short..pacers will not be effective on these pitches..

Agree.

Should've played 3 spinners.

 

[Devadwal]

Stupid stupid stupid . What the hell he is trying to do here ??

Required Run rate is 4.4 and he is playing big shot on a slow surface.

Just take the game close instead brainless cricket .

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

LOL India choking against useless BD and we are supposed to be scared of them @GLORY OF '92 @Nabeel23

 

[Hikaru]

Given the track, there are two very different Champions Trophy being played right now, and us Bhartiyas do have an unfair advantage of playing all our matches here.

 

[gani999]

Rohit and Pandya dropping catches and now Kohli, Axar and Iyer throwing away wickets cheaply. Too much overconfidence. I expect Pakistan to make a match of it on the 23rd.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

The only area where Bangla looks better is in the spin department. Their spinners are good and accurate.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Stupid stupid stupid . What the hell he is trying to do here ??

Required Run rate is 4.4 and he is playing bug shot in slow surface.

Just take the game close instead brainless cricket .

Indian cricketers are not known for their courage or brains tbh

 

[FearlessRoar]

Axar is a selfless player since he was struggling to bat he got himself out.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Silly cricket by India

 

[Vikram1989]

Sl odi series vibes are coming back.pathetic against spin

 

[Champ_Pal]

India making a meal out of this silly chase. What an embarrassment.

 

[mominsaigol]

My fantasy points are suffering

 

[Devadwal]

They haven't learn from gill batting

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Silly cricket by India

Hun das veeray? India India ker rahey they tum!

 

[Devadwal]

Mental midget is here

 

[Justcrazy]

Couple of wickets more here , can spice up the game.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD needed one more spinner here.

Should Shanto bowl? He bowls part-time spin but not very good spin.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Karma for not playing in Pakistan? This will clearly be the worst pitch in the event

 

[Greenstorm]

If its a slow Dubai wicket like this, it may suit our tuk tuks to get to 260-270. Still you need brisk start to get there and Imam isn't providing that. Our bowling has to step up massively for us to have a chance.

 

[gani999]

I hope KL and Gill see this match through now. They are both sensible and won't take unnecessary risks like the schoolboys Iyer and Patel.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Axar Patel is the greatest Asian left handed batsman in white ball cricket history.

Jinxed?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Hun das veeray? India India ker rahey they tum!

Don't worry we can out silly anyone

 

[The Bald Eagle]

My fantasy points are suffering

Professor SB....match enjoy krn

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate is less than 4.5 here , not a big deal. Pandya can finish this in no time.

 

[Devadwal]

Yes , Babar and Rizwan types batting suits on these pitches .

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

My fantasy points are suffering

Never bet on India. They don't have the X factor.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Indian fans need to relax.
I agree our players were too relaxed in fielding and bowling, threw away wickets cheaply, but this is just a practice match against a club team before facing big teams like Pakistan and New Zealand. We will take these lessons and fix them before playing the actual matches.

 

[sweep_shot]

150/4.

BD need to get 3-4 more wickets before they cross 200.

 

[baba ghazi]

kl and gill are kind of players who can see this game till the very end..both are matured and experienced odi player..this shouldnt be much of a problem if these two stay on wicket..one good thing is they are keeping nrr in control
