The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 saw a dominant display by IND as they secured a 6-wicket victory over BAN at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. A masterclass from Shubman Gill, who remained unbeaten on 101, and a fiery five-wicket haul by Mohammed Shami ensured a smooth chase for the Men in Blue.
BAN’s Struggles with the Bat
Winning the toss and opting to bat first, BAN found themselves in early trouble as Shami and Harshit Rana wreaked havoc on their top order. Soumya Sarkar, Najmul Shanto, and Mushfiqur Rahim were dismissed cheaply, leaving BAN struggling at 35/5 in just 8.3 overs.
Towhid Hridoy was the lone warrior for BAN, smashing a well-crafted 100 off 118 balls, keeping his side in the contest. Jaker Ali’s gritty 68 provided some resistance, but wickets kept tumbling at the other end. The tail-enders Taskin Ahmed and Rishad Hossain added some crucial runs to push the total to 228 in 49.4 overs.
Shami’s brilliant spell of 5/35, along with Harshit Rana’s 3/31, ensured that IND had a modest target to chase.
Shami’s Five-For and Rana’s Crucial Breakthroughs
IND’s bowling unit was clinical from the start. Shami’s swing and accuracy dismantled BAN’s top order, while Harshit Rana backed him with crucial breakthroughs. Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav controlled the middle overs, ensuring BAN never gained momentum.

Shubman Gill’s Ton Guides IND to Victory
Chasing 229, IND got off to a steady start, with Rohit Sharma (41 off 36) and Shubman Gill adding 69 runs for the opening wicket. Gill remained composed, anchoring the chase with a flawless century.
Though Virat Kohli (22), Shreyas Iyer (15), and Axar Patel (8) departed quickly, Gill’s unbeaten 101 off 129 balls, alongside KL Rahul’s solid 41,* ensured that IND chased the target with ease in 46.3 overs.
BAN’s Bowling Efforts in Vain
Despite early breakthroughs, BAN’s bowling attack lacked consistency. Taskin Ahmed (1/36) and Mustafizur Rahman (1/62) bowled in patches, while Rishad Hossain (2/38) provided some hope with his wicket-taking deliveries.
