India beat Bangladesh by 6 wickets

India has begun Champions Trophy campaign through beating Bangladesh by six wickets.

Mohammed Shami’s record-breaking fifer and Shubman Gill's century powered India thrash Bangladesh at Dubai Cricket Stadium on Thursday. 

Earlier, a cramping Towhid Hridoy smashed a dogged maiden ODI hundred but the bowling attack led by Mohammed Shami's five-wicket haul helped India to keep Bangladesh to a below-par 228 run total in their 2025 Champions Trophy opener.

India's pace spearhead Mohammed Shami returned figures of 5-53 after Bangladesh elected to bat first but lost half their side in the ninth over.

Towhid, who made 100, and Jaker, who hit 68, put on 154 runs to boost the total, albeit with some assistance from sloppy Indian fielding including two dropped catches.

Towhid, who faced cramps later in his knock, raised his hundred and acknowledged the cheers of the fans at a largely empty stadium before he departed and the innings folded in 49.4 overs.

Shami struck in the first over to get left-handed Soumya Sarkar caught behind for a five-ball duck.
