**Dubai, February 20, 2025:** India secured a resounding victory over Bangladesh in the Champions Trophy 2025, winning by 6 wickets. Chasing a target of 229 runs, India reached the finish line in 46.3 overs, losing only 4 wickets. Shubman Gill starred with a magnificent century (101 not out), while Rohit Sharma (41) and KL Rahul (41) also made significant contributions. Rishad Hossain took two wickets for Bangladesh, with Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed claiming one each.
Earlier, Bangladesh, batting first, was bowled out for 228 runs in 49.4 overs. Mohammad Shami delivered a stellar performance, taking five crucial wickets. Harshit Rana and Axar Patel chipped in with 3 and 2 wickets respectively. Despite a century by Towhid Hridoy (100) and a solid 68 by Zakir Ali, Bangladesh’s batting order crumbled under the pressure of India’s disciplined bowling. Shami’s five-wicket haul also marked his entry into the 200-wicket club. A missed opportunity for a hat-trick by Axar Patel highlighted some of the match’s drama.
Gill’s century was a highlight, reaching the milestone in 125 balls. India’s chase was initially paced by Rohit and Gill, but the loss of Rohit early tested India’s middle order. However, the steady partnership between Gill and Kohli ensured India’s comfortable victory. The match showcased a thrilling contest between bat and ball, ending in a convincing win for the Indian team.
