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

[x_KINGKHAN_x]

Shami can bat as well.

Australia and India pretty much bat all the way to 11. Delusional to think otherwise

 

[Devadwal]

This win is more satisfying for me than winning the one sided match. We are tested little bit which is good for us going forward in the tournament.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pitch was okay as long as Rohit was batting. It didn't dramatically change right after his dismissal. Pitch was still good to bat on for 25 overs. Just that we had this washed up Kohli made this Rishad look like some Shane warne. Last i rememebr Rishad conceded 46 runs in 2 overs against Youngsters

Its a great win, the kind which builds character. India are definitely favourites to win this tournament along with Aussies

 

[dravidthewall]

Rahul is mental midget...but bangladeshi players are more mental midget

 

[Cover Drive Six]

It seems rather difficult to bat on this pitch in the evenings. Any team winning the toss would do well to bat first and put a massive score on the board.
This is what I don't like about Dubai. The conditions change so much when the sun sets that it is difficult for both sides to have an equal chance.

Some posters criticized for making a mistake by picking 5 spinners while the pitches are assisting pacers, others criticized for playing with only 3 pacers. But these pitches are suitable for both spinners and pacers. It’s not easy to score big totals, and batting second is not easy if there is no dew.

None of this analysis makes any difference to how the game will go on Sunday. Pak will be soundly thrashed and deservingly so

NZ is red- hot favourite not india . Australia is likely knockout from group stages .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Gill is still timing the ball well lol Iyer got out to a cutter ball. Nothing to do with pitch. That could have happeend on a road pitch as well.

 

[baba ghazi]

rishad has bowled tight lines in this match.. also he is getting help from pitch..why cant indian fans acknowledge that he ahs bowled welll?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not sure why everyone is defending Kohli's pathetic innings here by attributing everything to pithc. He has been playing like this for a while. He struggled the same way against Adil Rashid in India.

 

[x_KINGKHAN_x]

Would agree with you if NZ were not generational serial bottlers

 

[Greenstorm]

Gill is a proper bat. India has done well to keep tullaybaaz like Surya and Pant out of team.

SHould have attacked from the outset. You don't allow leggies to settle down.

Soft ball is very hard to hit compared to new ball . Pitch has become tricky Plus Bangladesh has bowl very well .

 

[TheNeutralist]

CT matches have been boring, very tough to watch. Prefer either test or T20, ODIs are boring and uninteresting

Meanwhile the whole Pak team is full of absolute baffoons

Come on dude. You are using 2 new balls. When Kohli came in ball was only 5 overs old. What is soft about that/

 

[OldWarHorse]

CT matches have been boring, very tough to watch. Prefer either test or T20, ODIs are boring and uninteresting

Agree. The game was over at 35/5, we have just dragged this torture for 4 hours more than it should have

 

[Devadwal]

This NZ team mindset is very different . They have all the types of player's for any conditions.

They have big hitters down the order. That is a big plus.

Bangladeshi spinners are very disciplined with accurate lengths, consistently targeting the stumps and rarely bowling loose balls. Gill played patiently instead of throwing his wicket away like the other batsmen.

 

[RamLakhan]

ODI is the ideal format for player like Gill... If Gill was born in 80s or 90s he would have been a super batter for ODIs & even Tests! The demands of T20 has disturbed his batting... (similar to KL Rahul). So he should learn from the mistakes of what Rahul did and carefully progress in his career...

Also it is good if Jaiswal is shielded away from LOIs and preserved for Tests... (IPL cannot be avoided)

 

[Devadwal]

For a true cricket fan ,Watching cricket in dubai is very boring ,we should have played in pakistan where hype is real.

With those short boundaries and flat pitch we would have seen 400

 

[RidiculousMan]

Good fight back by Bangladesh after losing 5 quick wickets. India has not run away with NRR. Things could get interesting if Pakistan beats India.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hope Gill doesn't do something stupid in quest of a 100

 

[x_KINGKHAN_x]

Looks like india looking to take the game into 47-48th over

 

[RidiculousMan]

CT matches have been boring, very tough to watch. Prefer either test or T20, ODIs are boring and uninteresting

This is only the 2nd game. Also Indian games in Pakistan would've been house packed. But shame

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Gill is showing great maturity, a very good innings.

That outcome is quite literally impossible, to think otherwise is just pure delusion

Gill is another one of the Babar Azam academy. He will take the game deep to ensure a 100.

 

[RamLakhan]

Would agree with you if NZ were not generational serial bottlers

I think NZ is a different team now (after their whitewash in India). They are a serious team now...! Who knows they may dominate world cricket for some time like England (of mid 2010s), Sri Lanka (of late 90s), South Africa (of early 90s), if not reach the levels of ATG sides (WI of 80s, Aus of 00s, India of late 2010s)

 

[RidiculousMan]

You're delusional if you don't understand NRR and the amount of matches that are still yet to be played.

 

[Devadwal]

Jeetay ga bhai jeetay ga is Pakistani chant. Indians have copied it.

Bhai you said same things during india- pakistan match in 2023 World Cup.

" Jeetega bhai jeetega india jeetega " this slogen is very old for indian .

I statred watching cricket from more than 22 years and I heard this from at starting .

Maybe you have not watched enough Indian cricket.

 

[baba ghazi]

good work from bangladesh even at the very end they have tried to keep things tight..

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

I don't like Tanzim Hasan. He exudes all the qualities of an incel.

 

[x_KINGKHAN_x]

You're delusional if you don't understand NRR and the amount of matches that are still yet to be played.

I understand that, I meant, to think that Pak has even 1% chance is just pure delusion, will get soundly thrashed, deservedly so

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Mr. KL Rahul, please don’t block just for the sake of Gill’s century. You already did this buffoonery in the last series and got trolled for it.

 

[RidiculousMan]

I understand that, I meant that to think thay Pak has even 1% chance is just pure delusion, will get soundly thrashed, deservedly so

You're right. They have 10 to 25% chance.

Maybe but i didn't heard this from Indians in 2000s. Also, I don't think Indians use 'bhai' in their normal convo.

 

[x_KINGKHAN_x]

You really think pak has such a high chance to beat India? Come on, it will be an embarrassing beating as always

 

[Mesozoic]

A very low quality game this. India were complacent and barely played to 50% of their potential while Bangladesh are...well Bangladesh.

They have already won CT. SO no past ghosts

What about Kuldeep?

 

[jnaveen1980]

India made average spinner like Rishad like SHane warne. Look at his ODI career . He averages 66 with ER of 6.05

 

[x_KINGKHAN_x]

No one is actually capable in that team, bunch of losers with no fire at all, pathetic

Both of them are not great spin bowlers. Just bowling all rounders.

No. It will be kuldeep

Bangladeshi player's didn't pick him most of the times but they were lucky.

Because those parasites love Kohli more than India.

If Pakistan get a similar pitch as today's pitch, Pakistani bowlers should have a good time.

Sluggish surface should assist Abrar, Agha, and Khushdil.

IND - 221/4 (45 overs).

8 to win from 5 overs.

BD bowled okay. Batting was below-par as usual.

No Ball?

Pakistani bowlers are really really poor, thats the issue, doesnt matter the surface or conditions, the ability and mentality is so poor that it becomes pointless

 

[Cover Drive Six]

I don't think so. Bangladesh's spinners are a lot better than Pakistan's spinners.

Another humiliation for Bangladesh in the hands of India.

Jeetay ga bhai jeetay ga is Pakistani chant. Indians have copied it.

I have heard this chant in India since the 1980s. From school tournaments, to college games, across sports and times.

It's probably much older and common to the entire subcontinent.
