Team India started its journey in the Champions Trophy 2025 with a win. In the match played in Dubai, Team India defeated Bangladesh by 6 wickets and opened their account in the first match. Dubai International Stadium proved to be difficult to achieve the target of 229 runs on the pitch and she was seen trapped at one time, but Shubman Gill stood up by scoring a brilliant century and won by winning Team India. Before Gill, Star Pesar Mohammed Shami, who made 5 wickets, shocked Bangladesh's expectations with 5 wickets.

The decision of the first batting after winning the toss did not prove to be good for Bangladesh.

The reason behind this decision of team captain Najmul Hosain Shantio was strong because there was no dew in Dubai Stadium in the evening, due to which his spinners would play an important role but the team needed to score a match. But after losing 2 wickets in the first and second over, this decision was proved to be wrong. Soon till the 9th over, 5 wickets of the team fell for just 35 runs, out of which Shami took 2 wickets. At the same time, in the 9th over, Akshar Patel took 2 wickets in a row, but Rohit Sharma did not let Jakir Ali's catch and let Akshar hat hat.

Team India had to bear the brunt of this catch drop. Zakir Ali, along with Tauheed Hridayay, made a brilliant partnership of 154 runs for the sixth wicket and returned the team. During this, Tauheed also gave relief to Hardik Pandya and gave relief. At that time he was on just 23 runs. But both batsmen took advantage of this and with this great partnership, the team was brought to a compete position. Zakir was dismissed by Shami and completed her 200 wickets in ODIs. At the same time, Tauheed completed his first century in ODI cricket and made the day memorable. Shami, however, did not allow the last batsmen to last much and took 5 wickets to consist of Bangladesh's innings for 228 runs.
