Although both Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are out of the race for a spot in the semi-finals of ICC World Cup 2023, a different things were down the line; a spot in the ICC Champions Trophy in 2025. Shakib-Al-Hasan-led Bangladesh team made sure they did everything "within the law" to get the win against Sri Lanka in Delhi on Monday.

It was the 25th over and Bangladesh captain Shakib-Al-Hasan just had got out Sadeera Samarawickrama caught by Mahmudullah Riyad at square leg. Angelo Mathews was all set to come down as the number six batter and then in a turn of things, another chapter to Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh in cricket got written.

Angelo Mathews, could not arrive on time as he lost his helmet in the dressing room and could not take the guard within the given time "by law". Mathews took his time walking in, and then struggled with his helmet as the strap broke just as he was taking guard. So, Shakib-Al-Hasan appealed for the wicket and by the game's law, the umpire had to give him out as Angelo Mathews became the first-ever player to be "timed out" in cricket.

In the post match press-conference, when he was asked about if Shakib have any regrets, the Bangladeshi captain said, "Not at all."

Further he said, "one of our fielders came to me and said, if you appeal, the law says he's out because he hasn't taken his guard within the time frame. So, then I appealed to the umpires, umpire told me whether you're going to call him back or not, if I said he's out, then you call him back, it doesn't look good. I said I won't call him back."

The Bangladeshi captain acknowledged the fact although he was sad seeing Mathews getting out like this, but it was totally with the law of the game.

"We played under-19 together, World Cup, so I know Angelo for a long, long time, since 2006. Yeah, unfortunate, but within the rules," he added.

Although it was surely within the rules of the game, many asked if it was appropriate or within the gamesmanship of the game. Shakib was clear about it. He feels, if it is not within the gamesmanship of cricket, ICC should take a call and change the rule. Moreover, as per him, if things like this happens to him, he would accept that and would be careful from the next time.

"Well, then ICC should look into it and change the rules," Shakib answered as the reporters questioned his gamesmanship.

"As I told someone earlier that we have been playing since 2006, you know, against each other. We have played a lot of games against Sri Lanka. I know him very well; he knows me very well. So, he came and asked me whether if I withdraw my appeal or not If I want to, I said, you know, I understand your situation. It was unfortunate, but I don't want to," Shakib then went on to add.

After their win against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh now are at number seven position in the ICC World Cup 2023 points table and surely be hopeful of making it to the ICC Champions trophy in 2025 where top seven teams from this world cup would qualify.

Indian men's cricket team finally won their first 50-over ICC title in 12 years as they defeated New Zealand in the Champions Trophy 2025 final by four wickets in Dubai. Here are the past winners of the last 10 ICC tournaments.

Pitch Report: Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi

This will be the first match of the ongoing Champions Trophy in Rawalpindi, and the pitch is reportedly expected to be friendly for batting. 

Batters may enjoy the good bounce and carry on this surface, allowing them to execute their strokes effectively. We may witness a high-scoring game. 

On the bowling front, pacers will likely extract some movement early with the new ball, while spinners will come into play during the middle overs as the pitch wears down.

Team News and Recent Form: Bangladesh

Bangladesh suffered a tough defeat against India in their opening game of the Champions Trophy 2025. While batting first, Bangladesh only managed to post 228 on the scorecard in 49.4 overs, losing all wickets.

Towhid Hridoy (100 off 118) and Jaker Ali (68 off 114) helped Bangladesh survive their innings, but India chased down the score in 46.3 overs, winning the game by six wickets.

The match against New Zealand is a do-or-die game for the Bangladesh cricket team, as another defeat will knock them out of the tournament. 

As of now, things might look much tougher for Bangladesh, but the Bengal Tigers will boost their confidence by recalling the 9-wicket victory against the Kiwis on December 23rd, 2023.

Given the performance against India despite a defeat, the Bangladesh team is expected to field an unchanged eleven.

Team News and Recent Form: New Zealand

New Zealand commenced their Champions Trophy quest in style, dominantly beating the hosts Pakistan in the opening game in Karachi. Tom Latham (118* off 104) and Will Young (107 off 113) produced two magnificent centuries to lead the Kiwis to a mammoth total of 320/5 in 50 overs.

In response, New Zealand bowlers bowled out Pakistan on 260 in 47.2 overs. Will O'Rourke (9-0-47-3), accompanied by Mitchell Santner (10-0-66-3) and Matt Henry (7.2-1-25-2) inspired the Kiwis to win the game by 60 runs.

However, New Zealand will look to ensure their semi-final berth with a second consecutive win, not leaving any pressure before taking on India in the final group game. 

With Rachin Ravindra not being fit, New Zealand will likely opt for an unchanged line-up against Bangladesh.

Fantasy team prediction: Bangladesh vs New Zealand

Tom Latham (wk), Will Young, Devon Conway, Tanzid Hasan, Towhid Hridoy, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Matt Henry, Taskin Ahmed, Mistafizur Rahman, Rishad Hossain

India started their Champions Trophy 2025 campaign with a win over Bangladesh on Thursday in Dubai. Despite a ton from Towhid Hridoy, Mohammad Shami's five-wicket haul had restricted Bangladesh to 228 in the first inning. Shubman Gill then scored his 8th ODI ton to take India home with six wickets in hands and 21 balls remaining. Here are the highlights of the Bangladesh vs India match in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Shami gave India a perfect start

Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and decided to put runs on the board. With three pacers in the team and two excellent spinners, they were confident to defend anything on that Dubai wicket, which everyone knew would get slower with time.

However, to put pressure on a team like India, the Tigers needed at least a respectable total on the board. A fiery opening spell from Mohammad Shami and Harshit Rana put them in a spot of bother. Shami nicked off Soumya Sarkar in the first over on a duck while captain Shanto was sent back by Rana in the next over on a duck as well. 

Mehidy Hasan Miraz (5) tried to build a partnership with Tanzid Hasan but Shami got the better of him in the seventh over.

Rohit messed up Axar's hat-trick

Post that wicket, Axar Patel was brought into the attack by Rohit Sharma and he nearly became the first Indian bowler to get a hat-trick in an ICC event for India. Patel first removed Tanzid Hasan on 25. KL Rahul took a sharp catch behind the stumps. In the next ball, Mushfiqur Rahim edged one to Rahul to bring Axar on a hat-trick. 

In the hat-trick ball, Axar did what he could have done, but Rohit Sharma missed an easy catch at the first slip to dismiss the historical moment. 

Record partnership from Hridoy and Ali

From being 35/5, Jaker Ali and Towhid Hridoy put up a massive 154-run partnership, which is the highest 6th-wicket partnership for Bangladesh in ODI cricket. But, the scenes would not have been the same if Hardik Pandya had not dropped Hridoy on 24 in the 20th over. 

Shami with a five-fer

Not only that two overs later, KL Rahul missed a stumping chance of Jaker Ali on 24. Finally, Mohammad Shami was able to break the partnership as Jaker Ali tried to change gears against Shami’s off-cutter on 68 off 114 balls. 

Rishad Hossain tried to score a few quick runs but Harshit Rana got the better of him with a short ball in the 46th over. Bangladesh would have gotten more runs if Towhid Hridoy had not cramped badly. The right-handed batter nearly had to drag himself out of the crease to complete his runs. He was on the ground in agonising pain multiple times. 

Shami meantime dismissed Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Taskin Ahmed to get his give-wicket haul. With that wicket, Shami also became the Indian bowler with the most wickets in ICC events. 

Fighting maiden ODI ton from Hridoy

Hridoy though kept himself going and completed his maiden ODI ton even under tremendous pain. He was finally caught in the short fine leg on 100 off Harshit Rana as Bangladesh finished on 228 in the first inning. 

Flying start to India's inning

In the break, Axar Patel stated that the wickets got slower as the ball got older. So, with Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill at the top of the order, it was quite evident they would have gone for some quick runs against the pacers. 

They did that as India reached 69 runs in the first powerplay but lost Rohit Sharma on 41 off 36 in the second last ball of the powerplay. Rohit tried to clear in the circle, but could not connect the short ball from Taskin and was caught around the edge of the circle. Rohit went back to the dressing room but not before becoming the second fastest to score 11000 ODI runs. 

Bangladeshi spinners controlled the middle overs

Virat Kohli came at number three and soon Shanto brought his spinners Miraz and Rishad to stop the modern master. The plan fell into place as well and Kohli (22) was caught at backward point while trying a cut shot against Rishad. 

However, Shubman Gill looked apart as he scored his fourth consecutive ODI fifty. Shreyas Iyer came at number four and after a few good-looking strokes, was outfoxed by a slower one from Mustafizur Rahaman on 15 from 17 balls.

Classy and consistent as ever! ✨

With spinners bowling at random, India sent Axar Patel at number five as the run flow got stuck as well. It looked like India were waiting for the spell of spinners to finish. But, Patel could resist the wrong one from Risahd and top-edged to put the match somewhat level. 

Bangladesh could have made things worse for India if Jaker Ali would not have missed an easy catch at deep mid-wicket on 7 in the 37th over.

With the net run rate being around 4 and 5, India decided to go slow and steady. Gill and Rahul started accumulating singles and doubles with a boundary here and there. They completed their 50-run partnership in 66 balls as Rishad Hossain finished his spell with 38/2 in 10 overs. 

As India got close to the target, Gill brought out his big shots and completed his consecutive ODI ton in 125 balls to take India home. Gill was patient and skilful enough to take the game deep and away from Bangladesh with his 8th ODI ton in just 51 games. 

Gill remained unbeaten on 101 from 129 balls while Rahul finished off in style with a six as he was undefeated on 41 from 47. India bagged their first win in the Champions Trophy and will face Pakistan in their next game on Sunday.

A solid start for Team India in the Champions Trophy!

Shubman Gill’s unbeaten 101* and KL Rahul’s steady 41* guided India to a five-wicket victory over Bangladesh. 🩵🇮🇳
