Axar Patel added to their troubles by dismissing Tanzid Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim on consecutive balls. Despite a dropped catch, Jaker Ali survived and, along with Towhid Hridoy, tried to rescue the innings.
Hridoy’s Century and Shami’s Fifer Lead Bangladesh to 228

Virat Kohli struggled at the crease, taking nine balls to score his first run. He managed 22 off 38 balls before losing his wicket. Shreyas Iyer also departed cheaply for 15, leaving India at 133/3 with 96 more needed.
Gill’s Brilliance Guides India to Victory
Despite wickets falling, Shubman Gill stood firm, reaching his half-century in 69 balls. After Axar Patel’s dismissal, India needed a stable partnership.
