The highly anticipated Champions Trophy 2025 clash between India and Bangladesh is underway at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Bangladesh, having won the toss and opted to bat, found themselves in deep trouble early on as India’s bowlers ran riot in the powerplay.

India has taken firm control of the game, reducing Bangladesh to 39/5 in 10 overs. Mohammed Shami, Harshit Rana, and Axar Patel have dismantled Bangladesh’s top order. The Men in Blue’s sharp bowling display has kept Bangladesh from building any momentum. The biggest talking point of the match so far came in the ninth over, when Axar Patel was on a hat-trick.

Rohit drops a sitter to deny Axar Patel's hat-trick

After dismissing Tanzid Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim in consecutive deliveries, the left-arm spinner had a golden chance to claim a rare Champions Trophy hat-trick. His next ball found the edge of Jaker Ali’s bat, but Rohit Sharma at slip spilt a straightforward catch, letting the batter off the hook.

Axar Patel’s hat-trick dream was shattered due to Rohit's costly miss, leaving the Indian spinner visibly frustrated. A hat-trick would have been a historic moment in the tournament, but the opportunity slipped through India’s grasp. Nevertheless, Axar has remained lethal with the ball, keeping the pressure on Bangladesh.
