Match Summary
Bangladesh Opt to Bat First
After winning the toss, Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto chose to bat first. The decision appeared sensible on a Dubai surface expected to become slower later in the day.
However, India’s new-ball bowlers quickly seized control.
Mohammed Shami struck in his opening spell, while Harshit Rana and Axar Patel applied relentless pressure. Bangladesh slipped to 35/5, putting themselves in serious danger of being bowled out for a very low total.
Towhid Hridoy and Jaker Ali Rescue Bangladesh
Just when India looked set to dominate completely, Towhid Hridoy and Jaker Ali produced one of Bangladesh’s finest rescue acts in ICC tournament history.
The pair rebuilt patiently, rotating the strike and punishing loose deliveries.
Hridoy reached a courageous century despite suffering from cramps, while Jaker Ali provided excellent support with a composed 68.
Their partnership transformed Bangladesh’s innings from collapse to competitiveness and lifted the total to 228 all out in 49.4 overs.
Mohammed Shami Leads India’s Bowling Attack
India’s bowling performance revolved around the experience of Mohammed Shami.
The veteran fast bowler produced excellent seam movement with the new ball before returning in the death overs to complete a brilliant five-wicket haul (5/53).
Harshit Rana complemented him effectively by taking three wickets, while Axar Patel claimed two important dismissals during the middle overs.
India’s Chase Built Around Shubman Gill
India began positively through Rohit Sharma before Bangladesh fought back with regular wickets.
Despite losing Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer, India never lost complete control because Shubman Gill anchored the innings superbly.
His unbeaten 101 from 129 deliveries showcased patience, shot selection and maturity under pressure.
KL Rahul remained unbeaten alongside Gill to guide India across the finish line with 21 balls remaining, sealing a comfortable six-wicket victory.
