Champions Trophy 2025: Mohammed Shami's ICC magic continues with a stunning 5-fer against Bangladesh

Cometh ICC events, cometh Shami! Pacer Mohammed Shami continues to prove why he is a different beast in ICC tournaments. In the clash against Bangladesh at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium during the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, he picked up a stunning five-wicket haul.

Shami led India's pace attack in the playing XI, missing the usual support of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj. He came out firing in the very first over, dismissing Soumya Sarkar for a duck after five balls. Then he returned to send Mehidy Hasan Miraz back for 5 off 10 balls. Later, he claimed the wickets of Jaker Ali (68 off 114), Tanzim Hasan Sakib (0 off 4), and Taskin Ahmed (3 off 6).

He is BACK and HOW ?

IND vs BAN match summary

At one point, Bangladesh was struggling at 35/5, but they managed to post 228, thanks to Towhid Hridoy's brilliant 100 off 118 balls and his partnership with Jaker Ali, who scored 68 off 114. Can Bangladesh pull off an upset against India? That remains to be seen.

Apart from Shami's five-wicket haul, Harshit Rana picked up three wickets, while Axar Patel claimed two. Axar was on a hat-trick, but a dropped catch by Rohit Sharma denied him the chance to secure three wickets in three balls.
