India vs Bangladesh Live: Rohit Sharma (41) and Shubman Gill ensured that India got off to a quick start with Rohit being the aggressor and India needing 229 runs to win their first game against Bangladesh in the Champions Trophy at the Dubai International Stadium. Kohli and Gill then continued to build on the good start, before the Delhi-lad fell for 22. Earlier, Towhid Hridoy starred with the bat as his maiden century helped Bangladesh reach 228. Jaker Ali (68) gave him good company and, along with Hridoy, added 154 runs for the sixth wicket after being reduced to 35 for 5 inside the first ten overs of the match. Mohammed Shami was the pick of the bowlers for India and was instrumental in restricting Bangladesh to a below-par total in Dubai. He returned with figures of 5 for 53. Harshit Rana picked up three wickets, and Axar Patel dismissed two-in-two to hand India the early initiative. India was sloppy in the field, having dropped a couple of easy catches and a stumping to let Bangladesh off the hook.

India come into the tournament on back of a stunning 3-0 win over England and would be the favourites to win the game. Bangladesh, however, are no walkovers and could be a threat in these conditions. India are a superior side so if they play to their potential, they should be able to overcome the hurdle. All eyes will be on the Dubai pitch as well and how it behaves. India picked five spinners in the squad and they would want the pitch to be low and slow.
