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

[Devadwal]

Good and steady partnership is building for Bangladesh.

 

[Bhaijaan]

dont worry, Pakistan will play to the level of Bangaldesh and make it an evenly contest.

Pakistanis even on their worst day are a different level to these peasants bro.

 

[Asif321]

What a crap display by Bangladesh

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Fatman Rohit cannot even bend down in time for a slip catch but he will apparently be a match winner against Shaheen, Naseem, Rauf steaming in at 140-145 kmph LOL

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Surprised to see no crowd in India's game

UAE not giving visa to Indians I guess or Indians not caring about this tournament at all

 

[baba ghazi]

Indian pacers bowling in late 120s to early 130s. Arshdeep is not express as well.

its good enough if you can swing the ball or bowl cutters at death.. bowling 140 plus without any skill is asking for trouble in white ball cricket

 

[Mas-LFC]

they play left armers at domestic but here cant even take singles!

 

[baba ghazi]

UAE not giving visa to Indians I guess or Indians not caring about this tournament at all

indians not interested in bangladesh match plus hype for trophy is low everywhere except pakistan..

Nobody wants to see a BD game. You couldn't pay me enough to watch this joke of a team play. It's worse than watching paint dry. Who the heck is Jaker Ali? Name like Mohammad Ali and bats like Nadia Ali.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Bangladesh doing its best to produce next gen of Aussie cricket supporters

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

None of my friends or even cricket specific whatsapp group even bothered to post anything on CT so far.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kuldeep into attack now

 

[globetrotter]

BAN 66-5……..Bangladesh didn’t want to put pressure on themselves Bangladesh saving pressure for the match against PAK

@Rajdeep @Bhaag Viru Bhaag Your friend is venting out all of his frustration on the Bangladeshi team / Players instead Pakistan

 

[MP2011]

Pandya drops a sitter, Kuldeep the unlucky bowler

 

[Itachi]

None of my friends or even cricket specific whatsapp group even bothered to post anything on CT so far.

CT.... when you forget when it was last time held, you suspect when the next one will be held (if at all) and when world cup is there to test the champions, the CT loses its meaning.

 

[Devadwal]

Hardik dropped a sitter

Pathetic fielding lead by Rohit

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 79/5 (20 overs).

 

[MP2011]

Just a while back, Sunny was praising Indian fielding.

 

[baba ghazi]

bnagladesh pakistan match could be very interesting..

 

[Itachi]

Hardik dropped a catch.

Pathetic fielding lead by Rohit

It's Bangladesh..... We can afford to drop another 10 or 20 without any hiccups.

 

[dravidthewall]

Pandya dropped the cup

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Hardik dropped a sitter

Pathetic fielding lead by Rohit

Are we celebrating too early??

 

[Hikaru]

It doesn't even feel bad to drop a catch against Bangladesh. As if it's gonna change something.

 

[Justcrazy]

Long partnership required here.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

BD - 79/5 (20 overs).

Is BVB also Bangladesh supporter? Would explain a lot...

[gani999]

Good recovery by Bangladesh here. At one point even 100 looked doubtful.

 

[Itachi]

Are we celebrating too early??

We don't celebrate win against Bangladesh.

It's like taking candy from a kid. We don't want to do it but we are forced to do it because they wanna play in big man's game while they are not built up for it.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Siraj makes this team. Not sure why he has been left out.

 

[MP2011]

Jaker all at sea against Kuldeep.

 

[gani999]

It's Bangladesh..... We can afford to drop another 10 or 20 without any hiccups.

No we can't. Such overconfidence will always come back and bite hard. These two catches should have been taken.

 

[OldWarHorse]

It's a sport, we shouldnt switch off this early. Funny things have happened before. Not a fan of this approach

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Recovery on

 

[Devadwal]

@Nikhil_cric stumping chance missed by KL .he is not a good wicketkeeper.

 

[gani999]

And now a missed stumping by KL? What a bunch of clowns!

 

[baba ghazi]

india looks over confident and sluggish on field..this may work against bangladesh but could be in trouble against better sides

 

[Hikaru]

Deep down I get a feeling that everyone enjoys Bangladesh losing, including Pakistani posters pretending to support.

 

[saimayubera]

Fatman Rohit cannot even bend down in time for a slip catch but he will apparently be a match winner against Shaheen, Naseem, Rauf steaming in at 140-145 kmph LOL

lol he smacked around these farmers in both the world cup and asia cup.

 

[pratiktc]

You can tell Bobsy will be waiting for Hardik’
rpo

Probably going to marmalize him at 4.75 rpo

 

[Hellion]

"Bangladesh is a better T20 side" lmao. The delusions that these guys have

 

[pratiktc]

There is nothing more entertaining than hearing the despair in Athar Ali Khan's commentary

 

[mominsaigol]

Deep down I get a feeling that everyone enjoys Bangladesh losing, including Pakistani posters pretending to support.

Who on earth supports Bangladesh? Even if you're a die heard Pakistani supporter? Watching Bangladesh is worse then watching paint dry

 

[Devadwal]

Our bowling will be exposed against NZ or in the semi-final.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul are very good fielders. Let's back them in tough times.

 

[Hellion]

Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul are very good fielders. Let's back them in tough times.

Just like the squad Pakistan selected is the best available. They should be backed and supported instead of criticised.

 

[Devadwal]

Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul are very good fielders. Let's back them in tough times.

Hardik yes but rest are crap

 

[shaz619]

Shami bhai waking up from the slumber for the ICC events be like

View attachment 151032

@shaz619 @RedwoodOriginal

And does well every time until the injury in the knockouts like Taker’s injuries to and fans make him a scapegoat / don’t appreciate his efforts lol

 

[Justcrazy]

60 runs partnership so far.

 

[baba ghazi]

Happy that Cheteshwar Pujara has been added to the show! He’s a solid technician and doesn’t dish out unnecessary advice. Wasim Akram also seems quite welcoming to him, unlike Waqar Younis, who often looks like he's sulking. Don’t really get the logic of calling Nikhil Chopra—except that he can join in on some Punjabi jokes.

 

[Devadwal]

Now partnership is entering in dangerous territory . Seriously le lo thoda yar

 

[Justcrazy]

Indian spinners nowl overs very fast in middle overs , that is another advantage for India.

Pujara was talking about reverse sweep

Actually Nikhil is a more experienced cricket commentator and analyst. I thought he added good value to the show yesterday.

Anything less than 300 cannot challenge India at the moment.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Didn't watch the match until now. But i can see they are showing 10% intensity. Dropped catches, missed stumping. It is all part and parcel of them.

 

[Justcrazy]

Shami bowling well here, its good for India.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Where do you see this?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shami bowling well here, its good for India.

Is he even fit. I read the news he was not fully fit.

 

[Hellion]

Only 20 runs off the last 49 balls

 

[Justcrazy]

These two need to go little more deep , BD tail is not that good.

 

[baba ghazi]

Pujara was talking about reverse sweep

he cant talk about reverse sweep??

 

[jnaveen1980]

wow Just learnt Rohit denied hatrick for Axar

 

[Rajdeep]

100 up for BD.

How is the josh @Devadwal ? Still Purjosh or bit worried with this partnership?

 

[sweep_shot]

100 is up.

 

[Justcrazy]

Is he even fit. I read the news he was not fully fit.

In absence of Siraj and bumrah he is vital.

 

[Devadwal]

Problem is that our spinner are not taking the wickets in The middle overs. This is Big big problem going forward in this tournament .

 

[shah9425]

Empty Dubai stadium

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yea.. but what can they do if you have a fat entity drops catches

 

[Devadwal]

100 up for BD.

How is the josh @Devadwal ? Still Purjosh or bit worried with this partnership?

I'm worried about next game's .

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Quite boring to watch Bangla batting.

 

[Itachi]

No we can't. Such overconfidence will always come back and bite hard. These two catches should have been taken.

Relax. We will win this one atleast 10-15 overs to go. It's Bangladesh after all.

With other test nations, yes, it will be concerning.

 

[Human786]

very sloppy dropping 2 catches & missing a stumping ... 103/5 in 29

 

[sweep_shot]

Anything less than 300 cannot challenge India at the moment.

This is not a 300 pitch as per Cricinfo.

 

[jnaveen1980]

How is Harshit bowling here?

 

[Devadwal]

My fantasy captain never ever perform . Today is Ravindra Jadeja

For next game Shaheen will be my captain

 

[Justcrazy]

Rana has improved a lot , It is good sign for KKR

 

[sweep_shot]

I think 250 wouldn't be a bad total here. Pitch is not that flat.

 

[Hikaru]

Very Riz-Babarish partnership. Can't blame these two though, situation was bad.

 

[Devadwal]

They are going to take bangladesh close to 250.
