India vs Bangladesh, Asia Cup Super 4 highlights: BAN beat IND by ...

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Bangladesh beat India by 6 runs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Run out does the job for Bangladesh. Tanzim sends it in at yorker length, Shami digs it out and the pair try to run two. But the bails are whipped well before Shami can get back and so the last Indian wicket falls. That is Bangladesh's first win in the Colombo leg of this Asia Cup and their first win over India in the Asia Cup since 2012. Shubman Gill scored a century in defeat today for India and incidentally, there was another player who had scored a century for India in that match as well. That was Sachin Tendulkar and it was famously his 100th international century. Today, it was Gill's ninth international century and fifth in ODI cricket. Bangladesh were on the money throughout, particularly with their bowling and fielding. There was hardly any misfields today from them and they only upped the ante towards the end of the match. They can go back home with their heads held high and with the belief that they can now go to India with a strong squad for the World Cup next month.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: FOUR! India need 8 off 2!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Shami had swung for everything and he connects one at last. Sends it between long on and deep midwicket.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: India 12 to win off last over

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Mohammed Shami on strike, Prasidh Krishna at the other end. The young Tanzim is bowling the last over for Bangladesh. There have been quite a few potboilers between these two sides in big tournaments in recent years and India have won most of them. But there really couldn't be a better chance for them to do one on India than this.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: OUT! IT'S AXAR!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Well it had looked like Gill's wicket was the game but now, surely, Bangladesh have it in the bag. Axar had hit a four off the third ball of the 49th, then tried to hit him down the ground. Long off comes sprinting in and takes the catch quite brilliantly.

Axar c Tanzid Hasan b Mustafizur Rahman 42 (34), India 254/9 in 48.4 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: GONE! Thakur falls 

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Low full toss on middle to start the 49th from Mustafizur, Thakur middles it... straight to square leg!

Thakur c Mehidy Hasan Miraz b Mustafizur Rahman 11 (13), India 249/8 in 48.1 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: FOUR AND SIX! India need 17 from 12

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: What a finish to that over from Axar Patel! He smashes the fifth ball of the 48th over the bowler's head. Then he hits the next one even higher the same direction, it goes just over the fielder's hand at the boundary. The partnership is now on 40 off 26. India are 249/7, need 17 to win off 12 balls.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Into the last three overs...

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: India need 31 to win from it. Axar on strike, he has scored 26 off 28, Shardul on 9 off 10. Bangladesh have been on the money with their bowling and fielding, with the man at long-on pulling off a brilliant effort at the boundary to save four.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: India need 38 off 24

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Dead rubber? This is now turning into a potboiler. Bangladesh looking for a wicket, India looking for at least two boundaries in this over.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Axar hurt again!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: He takes a single, gets to the non-striker's end and then gets hit on the arm by the throw. The physio is out again, magic spray applied some shaking of the hand to get the blood flowing and he is good to go.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: FOUR! 

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Axar goes for the slog sweep off the fifth ball which is a full toss from Nasum, it lands out of reach of the long-on fielder and goes past the boundary.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Missed stumping!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Axar skips down once again but Nasum goes full outside leg. Litton Das fails to collect it neatly and Axar in his desperation to get back in the crease seems to have hurt his right hand. Litton also needing some treatment so physios of both teams are out now.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: SIX! Axar gets one in the stands

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Second ball of the 45th, Axar pulls Nasum over deep midwicket. Huge hit and India now need 48 to win off 35.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: GONE! GILL FALLS!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Is that the game? Hasan changes his angle and that does the trick. Gill skies the big shot and is caught at long on. A fantastic innings from him, regardless of which way this match goes. And in normal circumstances, this should fall Bangladesh's way now but you never know because it is His Highness Lord Shardul ‘Beefy’ Thakur who has walked out now.

Gill c Towhid Hridoy b Mahedi Hasan 121 (133), India 209/7 in 43.4 overs, need 57 to win off 38

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: SIX! Gill gets one away

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Third ball of the 44th from Mahedi, Gill sends it soaring over midwicket. India now need 57 off 39, Gill on 121 off 132. 

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: The pressure mounting on India 

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: The required rate has spiked up to 8.50 now and India's current rate is just 4.71. Gill may have scored a century but this is starting to slip away now for India. India are 198/6 in 42, need 68 to win off 48.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: 40 overs done, India 188/6

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Right time for the third powerplay, five fielders allowed on the boundary. Shakib comes back. Gill getting some treatment on his back. He is now on 110 off 122, Axar on five off seven. India need 78 to win off 60.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: India 183/6 in 39 overs

A tight single off the last ball of that over post those two boundaries ensures that Gill will remain on strike the next over. He is on 109 off 121, Axar on 2 off 2. India need 83 to win off 66.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: BACK TO BACK FOURS! Gill tees off

 India vs Bangladesh Live Score:He lofts the fourth delivery over mid-off magnificently. Then pulls Tanzim to the deep square leg area.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: CENTURY FOR GILL!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: A tight double does the trick. Gill gets to his fifth ODI century and he has done it in 117 balls. He has been a lone warrior today and this might just turn out to be one he would remember for a long time if he can lead India to victory today.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: OUT! FIzz gets Jadeja!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Well this is unexpected. Jadeja had been happy just giving strike to Gill but suddenly, he goes for a big hoick and misses it entirely. The stumps are rattled and India down to their last four now.

Jadeja b Mustafizur Rahman 7 (12), India 170/6 in 37.4 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: India 169/5 in 37 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Well this is interesting, Shakib decides to go to Mustafizur Rahman for the 38th over despite all his spinners having enough overs left to bowl till the 50th. Gill on 97, Jadeja has been rotating strike well and he has scored 7 in 9. Gill has also gone past 1000 ODI runs this year. 

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: SIX! Gill into the 90s

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Oh that is huge! Gill had survived a run out chance that came really because he was lost watching the ball at the non-striker's end off the previous ball. Then he advances down the track and sends it soaring over the bowler's head past the boundary. India are 163/5 in 36, need 103 to win off 84 balls. Gill has moved to 93 off 111.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: SIX!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Gill comes down the track to the third ball of the 36th from Miraz and smashes that just past long-on. It has almost been a one-man show from him today, he moves to 86 off 109. 

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: India 146/5 in 34 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: A bit of a mix-up off the fifth ball of the 34th but the throw is well off target. Gill survives.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: GONE! Shakib gets SKY

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Cleaned up! Another chance goes abegging for SKY. He was just looking to sweep everything from Shakib and this time, he was on the sweep early. The ball spins away from him and takes the off stump.

Suryakumar Yadav b Shakib Al Hasan 26 (34), India 139/5 in 32.4 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: India 137/4 in 32 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: The runs continue to be hard to come by for India, required rate now 7.16 and the current rate is 4.28. Gill on 73 off 95, SKY on 25 off 32.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: FOUR!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Shakib had screamed in anger when Gill was able to take an easy single off the first ball of the over. Then SKY just dabs the second ball late past slip to the boundary. Whisper it softly, but SKY seems to be finding his touch here. We are into the last 20 overs of the innings so this is getting into his zone of comfort, crudely speaking.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: India 126/4 in 30 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Gill gets to 70 off 90, SKY on 17 off 25. Nine runs came of that over from Mahedi, which is exactly the kind of stuff India need from here on.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score:FOUR! Boundary at last for IND

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Quick delivery from Mahedi but SKY is quick as well. Sweeps it to long leg and to the boundary.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: India 115/4 in 28 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Now the required run rate is creeping up close to seven an over now. SKY on 10 off 15, he hasn't been able to find the gaps, Gill on 68 off 88.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: India 113/4 in 27 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: The run rate has come grinding down, even Gill is finding it difficult to rotate strike at the moment. He is on 67 off 84, SKY on 9 off 13.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: India 109/4 in 26 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: SIX! Oh Gill!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Well doesn't matter who is getting out how at the other end, Shubman Gill is in the zone today. He comes down the wicket to Shakib first ball of the 25th and lofts him over wideish long-off. Wonderful wrists, perfect timing. 

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: FOUR! SKY off his first ball!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: That's vintage Suryakumar Yadav. First ball he sweeps Miraz emphatically behind. He has got a place in the World Cup squad solely on the basis of his T20I brilliance. There could be few better chances than this for SKY to transfer that to an ODI.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: GONE! Kishan goes now

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Kishan tries a reverse sweep against Miraz and he is given out LBW. He goes for the review but there is no inside edge! Ball tracking shows that he is gone plumb.

Kishan lbw b Mehidy Hasan Miraz 5 (15), India 94/4 in 23.3 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: SIX! Half century for Gill!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Gill comes down the wicket and clobbers Mahedi Hasan over midwicket for six. That is his ninth ODI half century and it has come in 61 balls. India are 89/3 in 20 overs.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: GONE! Rahul falls

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Oh, KL Rahul has hit it straight to Shamim Hossain! The run rate had gone down in the last few overs, particularly for Rahul. He tries to break the shackles, comes down the track and hits it straight to the fielder at midwicket.

Rahul c Shamim Hossain b Mahedi Hasan 19 (39), India 74/3 in 17.1 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: FOUR! 50 partnership up

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Sensational stuff from Gill. Stays back to a length ball and cuts it late past backward point to the boundary.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: FOUR! India 64/2 in 13 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Pure timing there from Gill. Back of a length slow delivery, Gill hangs back and punches it through covers.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: India 54/2 in 12 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Tanzim finally taken off and now here comes Mustafizur Rahman for the 13th over. Gill is looking good on 28 off 33, Rahul is on 14 off 28. In case you are wondering, India need 212 to win off 228 balls so still a long way to go figure out who is ahead.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: India 44/2 in 10 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Rahul on 11 off 23, Gill on 19 off 26. Tanzim comes back for his sixth now, Shakib not taking the foot off the pedal at the moment.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Maiden from Tanzim!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score:He has bowled five overs now, given just 11 runs and taken 2 wickets. What a debut he is having. Tanzim Hasan Sakib finishes his over and now Shakib Al Hasan comes in for the 10th.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: India 38/2 after 8 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Gill hit another four off the fifth ball of the over. He moves to 16 off 22, Rahul on 10 off 15. Tanzim comes back for his fifth over now. 

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: FOUR! 

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Nasum shortens his length for the third ball of the eighth, Gill goes back and plays that late cut he loves so much between backward point and cover-point.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Bangladesh lose review

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: It was missing the stumps by quite some distance but you can understand the reasoning behind Bangladesh taking that review. Tanzim continues in his red-hot form and with the extra bounce, catches Rahul off-guard as the ball strikes his knee. The India batter remains safe, though, as the ball travels far over the stumps.

Another impressive over from Tanzim!

India 27/2 in 7 overs, target 266

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Tidy from Nasum

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Tidy over from Nasum as he concedes only one. Shubman has looked more comfortable in defence against the spinner than in any over of the innings so far

India 24/2 in 6 overs, target 266

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Nasum Ahmed replaces Mustafizur

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: First change in bowling as spinner Nasum Ahmed replaces Mustafizur Rahman. 

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Tanzim troubles Gill

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Tanzim continues to trouble the Indian batters, this time, Shubman Gill. Beats his outside edge twice and Dominic Cork on commentary is urging for Shakib to add a second and third slip; currently, there's only one. Only one run through a wide as Tanzim continues to enjoys a stellar ODI debut against India.

India 23/2 in 5 overs, target 266

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Easy pickings!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Rahul unleashes the trademark chop shot! Little width and length from Mustafizur and Rahul says thank you very much, cutting the ball square for a brilliant four through backward point.

India 22/2 in 4 overs, target 266

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: KL Rahul joins Gill

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: A centurion from India's match against Pakistan earlier this week, Rahul finds himself in another high-pressure situation today

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: OUT!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Wow. Sakib picks his second! Tilak remains stunned as the ball, pitching on the middle-stump line, moves sharply into the left-hander. Tilak plays for a leave but the ball moves into the stumps, castling the left-hander.

India in trouble

17/2 in 2.4 overs, target 266

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: First  boundary in ODIs for Tilak

Classy. Tilak goes to his backfoot and flicks the ball towards backward square leg. Gets a handshake from Shubman Gill who congratulates Tilak on his first four in ODI format.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: First four!

What a shot! Over the wicket and fuller from Mustafizur and Gill shows the full face of the bat, guides it past mid-off for a beautiful four. Brilliant shot!

Update: What a comeback from Mustafizur! He remains unlucky though. Drags his length a bit and finds a thick outside edge off Gill. The pace is too strong, though, and the ball travels to the boundary for four.

India 13/1 in 2 overs, target 266

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Mustafizur from the other end

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Mustafizur Rahman bowls from the other end after a successful first over. 

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Tilak Varma joins Gill

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Debutant Tilak Varma joins Shubman Gill under significant pressure after Rohit falls on merely the second ball of the Indian innings

3/1 in 1 over, target 266

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: WICKET!

WOAH! Rohit falls! A delivery outside off and Rohit doesn't fully commit to the drive, as he lofts it for Anamul to pick a simple catch!

Game on in Colombo!

India 2/1 in 0.3 overs, target 266

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Players return for chase!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma open the Indian innings! Tanzim Hasan Sakib to begin proceedings for Bangladesh

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Kohli, Hardik at nets

While Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya aren't part of the XI, Kohli was seen padding up for net session, while Hardik was also sprinting near the boundary line, seemingly preparing to engage in practice session during the innings break

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: The weather

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Unlike what has been the case throughout this tournament, chances of rain disrupting this match is minuscule. For some reason, the weather has decided to stay off for a match that doesn't really have big consequences on who wins the title.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: What dead rubber?

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Bangladesh have shown that they are quite determined to win this. Their top order crumbled but what a performance from them after that. This may not be India's best possible side but there are a number of players who are either looking to break into the regular XI or looking to retain their spots. We will now see how they respond after the rather disappointing end to the Bangladesh innings from their point of view.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Shardul Thakur talks

“Pretty happy to get three wickets in this game. Against Pakistan I wasn't doing too great with a bit of fever and carrying that sickness throughout that game. But bowling ten overs today, I'm pretty happy. I think the pitch was on the slower side. A better fielding effort from our side and we could have kept them down to 220 or 230. Let's see how we bat. (On bowling the cross-seamers) I think it's something that comes to me naturally having played domestic cricket. When the wicket is slow and not much is happening you have to try something different. It's a stiff target. Let's see - if we get a good opening partnership I think we'll chase it down comfortably.”

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Bangladesh 265/8 in 50 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: What a finish this has been from Bangladesh. India won't be too happy with this. They had Bangladesh on the ropes at 59/4 in the 14th over. From there, Bangladesh have scored 206 runs for the loss of four lower order wickets. India looked a little lost during the partnership between Nassum and Mahedi. 

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Into the last over, Bangladesh 253/8

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Quite a strange fielding effort on the boundary off the last ball of the 49th. Gill ran in from deep square and put in a dive but he pulled out while sliding on the ground when he saw Suryakumar running towards him. The two players get to the ball at the same time, SKY kicks it away from the boundary, it rolls on top of Gills legs and somehow stays away from the rope.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: GONE! Nasum plays on

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Off pace delivery does the trick, no half century for Nasum. This one had been slowed all the way down to 95kph, right after Prasidh had sent the first ball in at over 140kph. Bottom edge onto the top of leg stump.

Nasum Ahmed b Prasidh Krishna 44 (45), Bangladesh 238/8 in 47.2 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: FOUR!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Shardul Thakur strays on Nasum's pads and the batter just clips it fine to the boundary. He moves to 44 with that and the Indians currently don't seem to know how to break this stand. Bangladesh could easily go past 250 here.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Bangladesh 223/7 in 45 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: An overthrow from Jadeja gives Bangladesh an extra run. Nasum now on 35 off 36, Mahedi on 14 off 11.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Bangladesh 217/7 in 44 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Nasum moves to 31 off 32 Mahedi on 11 off 8. This partnership has brought Bangladesh 24 runs in 17 balls. Prasidh Krishna returns as we enter the last six overs of the innings.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: FOUR!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Some rearguard action here for Bangladesh with Nasum and Mahedi Hasan playing their shots. It was Nasum this time, lofting the first ball of the 44th from Shami over mid-on.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: OUT! Shami gets his second wicket

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Hridoy pulls straight down the throat of deep square leg. Shami comes back and takes his second wicket of the match. Not enough bounce but Hridoy goes with the pull shot anyway.

Hridoy c Tilak Varma b Mohammed Shami 54 (81), Bangladesh 193/7 in 41.2 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: 50 for Hridoy!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: A wonderful shot to bring up a well-deserved half century. Axar sends it in on a length outside off, Hridoy waits for it and then taps it wide of slip and clears point as well.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: SIX! Nasum breaks some shackles

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Third ball of the 39th from Jadeja, Nasup slog sweeps it and it just about clears Tilak at deep midwicket. These boundaries had dried up so, a welcome shot for Bangladesh.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Bangladesh 169/6 in 36 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Hridoy on 41 off 67, Nasum Ahmed is the new batter on seven off 12 balls. Jadeja had taken his 200th ODI wicket by dismissing Shamim Hossain. He is the seventh Indian to have reached that mark in ODIs.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: OUT! Shardul gets the big wicket

 India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Of course he does. Of course he is the man who denies Shakib Al Hasan a century. The Lord taketh away. First ball after the drinks break, Shardul goes short of a length and angles it into the Bangladesh captain. Shakib gets a bottom edge and the ball smashes onto the stumps. 

Shakib b Thakur 80 (85), Bangladesh 60/5 in 33.1 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Drinks break

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Bangladesh are 160/4 in 33 overs. Hridoy on 40 off 61, Shakib on 80 off 84. Their partnership is now on 101 off 114.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: BACK TO BACK FOURS!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: The partnership moves to 96 with those and India now have a problem in their hands. Thakur goes short of a length for the second ball of the 32nd, Hridoy pulls it to mid on where the bounce seems to deceive the fielder and it goes to the boundary. Then the next ball is a pull that goes off a top edge, it goes fine to long leg for four.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: SIX! Bangladesh 124/4 in 26 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Shakib looking really good now. He gets down the pitch again and the ball is right in the slot for him to mow over midwicket. He moves to 60 off 67, Hridoy on 25 off 42. A good partnership here for Bangladesh.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: SIX! FIfty for Shakib!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Shakib has stepped up now and he has got his half century in spectacular manner. Skips down the track and lifts Axar Patel over midwicket off the fourth ball of the 26th.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: SIX! Again from Hridoy!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Well, well, it seems Hridoy has decided to take on Tilak. Comes down the track three consecutive times, two of those go for sixes. This is the fourth ball of the 23rd and Hridoy slog sweeps Tlak over midwicket.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: SIX!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Second ball of the 22nd from Tilak, Hridoy comes down the track and lofts it over the bowler's head for the first six of this innings.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: FOUR! The ball goes through SKY!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Well it is difficult to understand if this is just poor fielding or bad luck for India at the moment. If that was a very difficult chance for Rahul to hold on, here SKY did everything right at the boundary but the ball dribbled away from underneath him and touched the boundary pad.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Bangladesh 72/4 in 19 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: It may have been a difficult chance but it was one nonetheless and Shakib has been given a lifeline. Tilak would feel good about the fact that he managed to beat Shakib's outside so emphatically, and maybe feel bad that he could have had his wicket over there too.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: NOW DROPPED BY RAHUL!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Third drop of the match and we are not even into the 20th over. To be fair, it was a tough chance. Tilak sends it in at a good length and it burst up, took Shakib's outside edge and hits Rahul on the chest.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Bangladesh 71/4 in 18 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Shakib continues to be watchful, which is exactly what Bangladesh need. What they also need is to someone give him able company at the other end. For now, Towhid Hridoy is out there on 4 off 15 while Shakib has scored 28 in 41.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: 16 overs done, Bangladesh 65/4

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Tilak Varma comes in to bowl the 17th over and so, for the first time in many, many years, India have a part-time spinner bowling for them in an ODI match. He had dismissed the ridiculously in-form Nicholas Pooran in India's T20I series against the West Indies recently remember.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: OUT! Another one bites the dust

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Sharp catch from Rohit Sharma at slip and Axar Patel gets rid of this mini-stand.  

Mehidy Hasan Miraz c Sharma b Patel 13 (28), Bangladesh 59/4 in 14 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: FOUR! 

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Third ball of the 13th fro Prasidh Krishna, it is a bit too full outside off and Miraz drives it beautifully to the boundary.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: And SKY drops one now!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Suryakumar Yadav is in at second slip today, the last ball of the 10th over bursts off a thick edge over SKY's head. He gets his hands to it but it doesn't stick. That is two wickets denied for Thakur in this over. Bangladesh 44/3 in 10 overs.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: TIlak drops one!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Thakur should have had a third wicket there. Debutant Tilak Varma, who is a pretty sharp fielder, drops one at midwicket. He veered to his right and got contact with the ball at hip level an then slips out of his hands.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: India 36/3 in 9 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Shakib on 13 off 16, Miraz on 3 off 13. Steady does it for the batters at the moment, Shakib especially not looking troubled at all thus far but at the same time, he hasn't really been looking to take the bowling on. 

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Shami walks off

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Bangladesh are 29/3 in 7 overs. Nothing wrong with Shami, he has bowled a four-over spell and that could be it for him for now. Bangladesh are in a real mess here but they have two experienced batters in the form of Shakib Al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan Miraz in the middle. They can sit tight and try to collect runs between the wickets as far as possible.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: OUT! Thakur gets his second

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Anamul Haque, who has looked anything but at ease today, goes for a pull shot to a delivery that it is not short enough for it. Top edge flies high into the air but doesn't cover any distance and KL Rahul takes the easiest of catches for a wicketkeeper.

Anamul Haque c Rahul b Thakur 4 (11), Bangladesh 28/3 in 5.4 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: OUT! Now Shardul strikes

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Wicket off the first ball of the third over and now a wicket off the first ball of the fourth over. Bangladesh have had a terrible start here. Thakur gets a bit lucky here, as he does always. Short ball, Tanzid goes for the pull from outside off, he ends up chopping on. This brings on Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan to the middle while former India captain Virat Kohli has also come out carrying water bottles.

Tanzid Hasan b Thakur 13 (12), Bangladesh 15/2 in 3.1 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: GONE! Shami castles Liton

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Seam movement off a good length and Liton Das, who has hurt India multiple times in the recent past, is cleaned up.

Liton Das b Mohammed Shami 0 (2), Bangladesh 13/1 in 2.1 overs

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: DON'T MISS some player, ex-coach catch-up 

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: What a throwback! India's rested duo of Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya were seen chatting with former coach Ravi Shastri. Such heartwarming visuals. It's almost as if nothing has changed. Shades of the the old Kohli-Shastri camaraderie as they engaged in an animated discussion. Oh, this brings back so many memories. India achieved some exceptional things during the Kohli-Shastri era and even though it has been two years since that chapter ended, the memories remain as vivid as ever.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Still no Shreyas Iyer? Here's why

We are hearing straight from the venue that despite walking off to a round of applause after being grilled in the nets for 4 hours during India's optional practice session yesterday, Shreyas Iyer 'has shown improvement but he is not yet fully fit'

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Shakib Al Hasan 'confused'

"I was a bit confused to what to do and it's not a bad thing for us to bat first. The guys haven't played much and they will get opportunities. Tanzim is making his debut, so very excited for him. This is an eye-opener for us and we want to do our best before World Cup," says the Bangladesh captain after losing toss.

Bangladesh Playing XI: Litton Das (Wicketkeeper), Tanzid Hasan, Anamul Haque, Shakib Al Hasan (Captain), Towhid Hridoy, Shamim Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mahedi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Mustafizur Rahman

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: India's Playing XI and Rohit's two cents

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Here's India's Playing XI - Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, KL Rahul (Wicketkeeper), Ishan Kishan, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Shami, Prasidh Krishna

Rohit Sharma: "We are gonna field first. It is something we haven't done in the tournament, we haven't done it under lights so it gives us an opportunity to bat under lights. The wicket honestly has got everything for everyone. Pacers who bend their back in the daytime have also got movement and there have been assistance for the spinners. Got to be brave and play your natural game. We got to give game time to some other guys who haven't played."

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: TOSS!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: It's TOSS TIME! Rohit Sharma wins it and opts to field. Says 'We haven't chased under light' and wants to try it out. As expected, no shortage of changes surprises as India ring in five changes

OUT: Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah

IN: Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Shami, Shardul Thakur

AGREE WITH THE SELECTIONS?

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Tilak Varma to make ODI debut

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: There we have it! The first change in the Indian Playing XI was just confirmed as Tilak Varma receives his ODI cap from the captain Rohit Sharma. Smiles all around, couple of claps as the 20-year-old takes another big step forward in his India career. Tilak had a wonderful start when he plundered scores of 39, 49 and 51 against West Indies, his scorching form paving the way for a place in the Asia Cup squad. And after having to wait, Tilak finally has his moment under the sun.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Virat Kohli at Colombo

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: He may have been dismissed cheaply for 3 but one bad innings has hardly impacted Virat Kohli's love affair with the R Premadasa Stadium. He brags of a formidable record in Colombo, having amassed 644 runs at a jaw-dropping average of 107.3 including three hundreds, the most recent of which came against Pakistan on Monday. With 2 more matches to go, Sunday's final included, KING KOHLI may just match the great Sachin Tendulkar's record of 49 ODI centuries.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: THE PERFECT COLOMBO WEATHER DOESN'T EXIS…

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: This is a sentence we may have doubted we'd utter during the Asia Cup. However, in a delightful turn of events, the weather in Colombo is bright and clear. Around this time yesterday, ominous dark clouds had gathered, leading to a substantial rain delay that affected the toss. Fortunately, today brings no such concerns. We are on schedule for a 2:30 PM toss, with the first ball set to be bowled at 3:00 PM.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: TEAM INDIA HAS ARRIVED!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Here they come! The Indian team has just arrived, a full 40 minutes before the toss. This ample time allows them to participate in a few warm-up drills, enjoy some football action, and prepare for the big game ahead. As they disembark from the team bus onto the field, each player dutifully places their cellphones into a designated bag. This practice dispels any misconceptions about players having access to mobile phones inside the dressing room – a rule enforced to maintain focus and discipline.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: What IND coach thinks of BAN

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: No room for half measures! Paras Mhambrey, India's bowling coach, has duly acknowledged Bangladesh as a competitive team in recent years, showcasing solid cricket skills and fostering a promising group of fast bowlers. Despite India's formidable one-on-one record in multi-nation tournaments, Mhambrey emphasised the critical need for India to deliver their best performance against Bangladesh. Complacency has no place here, and that's precisely the approach that should be taken. Bangladesh has previously defeated India on their home turf and posed formidable challenges, making Mhambrey's comments entirely reasonable.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: BAN team has arrived, IND expected to reach by…

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: The players are now starting to arrive at the R. Premadasa Stadium. The Bangladesh team is already on the field, getting into their practice routines. However, there's still no news regarding the Indian team's arrival although reports suggest that their bus is expected to enter the stadium at approximately 1:45 PM. We're gettong closer. Toss now just an hour away… provided there is no rain of course.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: BIG CROWD expected!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: It was disheartening to witness such low turnout for a prestigious event like the Asia Cup, even during the highly anticipated India vs Pakistan clashes. Despite ticket prices being reduced by half, the stadiums were sparsely populated in the earlier stages of the competition. However, as the tournament entered its crucial phase and the matches became more competitive, we saw a significant increase in attendance. The India vs Sri Lanka match and the Sri Lanka vs Pakistan virtual semifinal, in particular, drew substantial crowds, creating an electrifying atmosphere. For the first time tournament, the Asia Cup truly felt alive.

A similar turnout is expected for the India vs Bangladesh fixture. According to an official statement from an ACC representative: "Lower stands C and D are sold out, while the others are filling up rapidly." LET THE MADNESS BEGIN!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: STILL NO INDIA-PAKISTAN FINAL

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: We are into the 12th edition of the Asia Cup and not once has the world witnessed a showdown between India and Pakistan in the final. Well, to sum it up, the two recent editions of the Asia Cup prove that although India and Pakistan may play each other twice, Sri Lanka will end up securing a place in the final. Last year, it was against Pakistan, this time against India. As the old adage goes, cricket indeed is a 'funny game'. 40 years and still not India-Pakistan final. The wait continues!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: It's a triple-decker today, folks

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: It's the type of day every cricket fans eagerly awaits, and we won't be surprised if some of you called in sick at work. It's a triple treat! Right after the India-Bangladesh game commences, South Africa and Australia will engage in their fourth ODI. Then, just half an hour later, prepare for another thrilling showdown between New Zealand and England. Oh, the sheer delight of it all!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Pakistan scored 252/7, Sri Lanka 252/8, then how did they win? 

Fascinating, isn't it? Sri Lanka and Pakistan ended up with identical totals, so how did Sri Lanka manage to secure the victory? Well, that's the intriguing, some might even say perplexing, nature of the DLS method. As you're probably aware, there were two rain interruptions during yesterday's knockout match between Sri Lanka and Pakistan - one before the game and another during it. On both occasions, overs were lost, eventually resulting in a reduction to a 42-overs-per-side match. After Pakistan posted a score of 252/7, Sri Lanka was given a revised target of 252 to chase. Bewildering? If you're looking for a more detailed explanation, you're in luck. We've got you covered right HERE.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Spotlight on Axar Patel

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Axar Patel deserves all the credit in the world for the wonderful batting upswing he has shown, if this improvement comes at the cost of a decline in his bowling performance, it raises questions about how the team management views the situation. In the Asia Cup match against Sri Lanka, played on a pitch highly conducive to spin, Axar went wicketless, causing concerns about his bowling form. It's worth noting that on the same surface, Dunith Wellalage claimed a five-wicket haul, and Kuldeep Yadav secured four. This has led to scrutiny of Axar's position in the Playing XI, with prominent former cricketers, including Anil Kumble, suggesting that either Washington Sundar or Ravichandran Ashwin might have been better choices.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: In case Rohit is rested…

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Now, while this scenario may be highly unlikely, how many of you would entertain the idea of Ishan Kishan opening for India if Rohit Sharma is rested? Facing a bowling attack that Ishan has previously torn apart, the Indian opener may well recall the absolute mayhem he unleashed in Chattogram last December. On that memorable day, Ishan established himself as a record-breaker. So, why not elevate him to the opening slot, even if just for the sheer thrill of it?

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Virat Kohli finds a new nemesis

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Virat Kohli is one of the most complete batters in the world. But even the almighty Superman has its kryptonite and going by the recent pattern, left-arm spin has become Kohli's. Virat's dismissal for 3 against Dunith Wellalage two days ago in Colombo was his eight in 11 innings against left-arm spinners since 2022. What's more, his batting average against left-arm spinners has plummeted to a mere 13. Kohli's susceptibility to quality spin has become evident to all observers. Recollections of his dismissals against bowlers like Adam Zampa and Adil Rashid are still fresh in memory. But this new-found vulnerability is something that opposing teams will likely pay close attention to and attempt to exploit, especially as the World Cup approaches.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Bangladesh, be scared! BE VERY SCARED

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Rohit Sharma's last five innings against Bangladesh in multi-national tournaments, read 137, 123*, 83*, 48, and 104. That's it. That's the post.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Ravindra Jadeja within striking distance of replicating huge Kapil Dev feat

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: It feels like it was just yesterday when a young, curly-haired Ravindra Jadeja made his debut for India. At the time, he showed promise as a left-arm spinner with the potential to excel as a top-order batsman. Fast forward 14 years, and Jadeja has firmly established himself as one of the premier all-rounders in world cricket. His batting prowess has developed significantly, and his fielding skills are nothing short of legendary. Currently standing at 199 wickets, Jadeja needs just one more to join the elite club of Indian bowlers with 200 ODI wickets. Achieving this milestone would also make him the seventh Indian cricketer to achieve this feat. What's even more remarkable is that, should he reach this milestone, Jadeja will become the first Indian player since Kapil Dev to achieve the remarkable double of securing 200 wickets and amassing 2000 runs in ODIs.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: IND's MVP - Hardik Pandya

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: While the cricketing world is abuzz with Virat Kohli's centuries and his remarkable achievement of crossing the 13,000-run mark, it's essential to recognise the quiet yet significant impact of Hardik Pandya. Amid the spotlight on Kohli's achievements, Pandya has been making substantial contributions to the team. He began the Asia Cup with a pivotal 87-run innings against Pakistan, which played a crucial role in India's 260-odd total. Moreover, his bowling performance against Sri Lanka was nothing short of extraordinary.

As Sri Lanka posed a genuine threat, Pandya bowled a spell that will be remembered for ages. Although he finished with just one wicket, his immaculate figures of 1/14 were just as crucial, if not more so, compared to Kuldeep's four-wicket haul. After a tight initial two-over spell, Pandya returned to apply pressure on Dhananjaya de Silva and Dunith Wellalage, preventing them from capitalising on their chances against India. Employing a diverse range of deliveries, Pandya played a vital role in restricting the opposition, enabling his fellow bowlers to thrive. His resilience is truly commendable.

Not too long ago, Pandya faced criticism after India's loss to the West Indies, but he has responded in the best possible manner by delivering outstanding performances. He has, indeed, silenced his detractors with his exceptional contributions to the team.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Bangladesh's FALL!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Bangladesh has undeniably faced a series of setbacks in this Asia Cup, primarily due to a string of injuries to key players that have marred their campaign. The early losses of Tamim Iqbal and Ebadot Hossain, even before the tournament commenced, set a discouraging tone. And to add to their woes, Litton Das fell ill, while Najmul Hossain Shanto suffered a hamstring injury.

Despite being finalists in the 2012 and 2018 editions, the last two Asia Cups have not unfolded as per plans for Bangladesh. Moreover, off-field disputes between the BCB and certain players have further exacerbated their challenges. At a time when cricket teams worldwide are looking to appoint captains and leaders for the future, Bangladesh reverting to Shakib Al Hasan just doesn't set the right tone. It's a challenging phase for the team, and addressing these issues will be essential to break free from this rut.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Mohammed Shami simply needs to play today

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Mohammed Shami, India's leading wicket taker from the 2019 World Cup, may be nearing the end of his ODI career. We don't say it, the stats do. Since June, Shami has turned out in just 2 matches for India – the World Test Championship final and the game against Nepal last week. It is clear that India are shaping Mohammed Siraj as Jasprit Bumrah's new-ball partner for the future, with Shami relatively more effective as first change. If true, then Shami's role at the World Cup could be very crucial, and for that he needs more time. Shami has five matches between now and India's World Cup opener against Australia and India need him to be at his best, steaming in hard and bowling them snorters. And what better way than by having a crack at Bangladesh?

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: India rub salt in Pakistan's wounds

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Things go from bad to worse for Pakistan, who after facing eliminating at the hands of Sri Lanka last night have now lost their position as the No. 2 ranked ODI team in the world. Yes, back-to-back defeats to India and Sri Lanka have jolted Pakistan in the ICC men's team rankings as they now slip to No. 3. India have risen to the second position and closed the gap on Australia by just 2 points. Given the mercurial nature of the rankings – evident through Pakistan and Australia securing the No. 1 position back-and-forth, if India go to lift the Asia Cup, we will have a new No. 1 ODI side in the world.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Slice of history await Shakib Al Hasan, Shubman Gill

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: One a veteran, other a youngster with a bright future. Both Shakib Al Hasan and Shubman Gill have personal milestones within reach as they prepare for today's IND vs BAN contest. Shakib, participating in his 240th ODI today, has his sights set on clearing the boundary three more times, which would earn him the distinction of reaching 50 sixes in ODIs. Meanwhile, 24-year-old Gill finds himself just 96 runs away from the 1000-run mark for the year 2023. Having already amassed an impressive 904 runs from 16 innings at a staggering average of 64.5, he has ascended to the second position in the ODI rankings for men. Should he manage to score a century, it would be an icing on the cake for India's fastest rising star.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: How well or poorly is Shreyas Iyer recovering

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Shreyas Iyer makes for a very curious case within the Indian team. He was out for more than six months due to a back injury and upon recovering, he hurt his back again after turning out for India just once. This sure is concerning. How can you pick up the same injury for which you underwent surgery after playing just one game… that too a game that didn't even finish? Shreyas missed the 2 Super Four games against but in update that comes as a huge sigh of relief, Iyer was seen back in action hitting the nets fiercely on Thursday. He was the first to come and the last to leave, spending nearly 5 hours batting. With certain players likely to be rested, Shreyas is expected to be back at No. 4 against Bangladesh today.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Suryakumar Yadav! Here's your chance

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: While Suryakumar Yadav has solidified his position in India's ODI squad over the past year, his appearance in the Playing XI hasn't been as frequent. The underlying reason is pretty straightforward – he has struggled to replicate his T20I success in the ODI format. However, with constant backing from coach Rahul Dravid and captain Rohit Sharma, Surya remains confident and determined. It's not often that you witness players openly acknowledging their areas for improvement, which is why Suryakumar Yadav's revelation after the West Indies ODIs caught many by surprise. Today, as he takes on Bangladesh, SKY has a golden opportunity to reignite his ODI career

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Throwback to Ishan Kishan's historic double century

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Not too long ago, India and Bangladesh faced in an ODI in Chattogram, where history was made as Ishan Kishan became only the third Indian batter after Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Rohit Sharma to plunder a double century in one-day cricket. Historic because it was the fastest ODI double of all-time – off just 126 balls – as Kishan left behind none other than the 'Universe Boss' Chris Gayle. With Bangladesh winning the first two ODIs to seal the series, it was just the kind of ending India needed.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: A brief history of IND vs BAN in Asia Cup

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: India and Bangladesh have a rich history of facing off in the Asia Cup. Their first encounter dates all the way back to 1988 - coincidentally the same year as the birth of this writer - where India notched a convincing nine-wicket victory.

So yeah, there is no shortage of history here, folks and today promises to mark another riveting chapter to this enthralling rivalry.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: How the SUPER FOUR Points Table stands currently

While the points table may not significantly impact the teams' current standings, it's worth revisiting for a quick recap. To refresh your memory, India currently occupy the top position with a comfortable lead. They've secured victories in both of their Super 4 matches, defeating Pakistan and Sri Lanka, accumulating 4 points in total. What's more, India boasts an impressive Net Run Rate of +4.760. Their remarkable 228-run triumph over Pakistan catapulted them to the summit.

However, the rankings at the bottom could potentially undergo a reshuffle depending on the outcome of today's game. If you're still unsure about the current standings, refer to our updated points table HERE.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Why Mushfiqur Rahim isn't playing today

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Mushfiqur Rahim has been a prominent figure in the India vs Bangladesh rivalry. In the 2007 World Cup, he played the decisive role by hitting the winning runs. Four years later ahead of India's 2011 World Cup opener against Bangladesh, he stirred controversy with a statement during a pre-match press conference, riling up Indian fans. And if that weren't enough, he once again captured the spotlight during the 2016 T20 World Cup in India - when he burst into premature celebrations - keeping viewers' interest intact. Unfortunately though, he won't be a part of today's game. Curious to know why? Read on HERE.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Why has the IND vs BAN rivalry flared up

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: You know what? For the longest time, India versus Bangladesh was considered nothing more than a routine warm-up match for the Indians. However, a series of unexpected results, controversial comments, moments, and some surprising jibes have added an intense edge to the rivalry between these two teams. In contrast to the once one-sided nature of these contests, every time an IND vs BAN game takes place, you can't keep your eyes off the ball. Think about the numerous close finishes we've witnessed – the 2016 World T20, the Nidahas Trophy final, and even last year's T20 World Cup showdown. Combine all these elements together and you get a juicy battle that should not be underestimated. Today's match might not generate as much excitement since there isn't much at stake for either side, but expect some stunning moments to unravel.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: What's up with the weather in Colombo

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: First thing's first, let's not overlook the seventh participant in the Asia Cup, an unwelcome guest that goes by the name of rain – yes, the dreaded rai
