IND vs BAN Highlights: Shubman Gill’s century went in vain as Bangladesh defeated India by 6 runs in IND vs BAN Asia Cup 2023 clash. Gill scored a gritty 121 on a tough wicket. Axar Patel (42) also played a handy knock down the order but could not get India over the line. Mustafizur Rahman was the pick of the bowlers with 3 wickets. Debutant Tanzim Hasan Sakib impressed with 2/32. Mahedi Hasan, Shakib Al Hasan, Mehidy Hasan Miraz were the other wicket takers.

From 59/4, Shakib Al Hasan (80) and Towhid Hridoy (54) added 101 runs to stablise the innings. Then, it was Bangladeshi tail-enders, who took the attack to India after Shardul Thakur dismissed Shakib. Nasum Ahmed (44), Mahedi Hasan (29) and Tanzim Hasan (14) scored crucial runs to take Bangladesh to 265/8 in the last Super 4 clash.
Chasing a stiff target, Team India got off to a terrible start as they lost skipper Rohit Sharma on a duck. Debutant Tilak Varma also failed to make an impression as he quickly followed skipper on 5. Suryakumar Yadav stitched a crucial partnership with Shubman but couldn’t accelarate and got dismissed on 27 followed by Ravindra Jadeja (7).
