India vs Bangladesh Live Score: BAN cross 200, IND seek more ...

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: OUT! Now Shardul strikes

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: GONE! Shami castles Liton

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'

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

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: TOSS!

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: 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: Bangladesh's FALL!

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: 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 rain. It has already disrupted one crucial match, none other than the India vs Pakistan clash in Group A, leaving teams, players, and fans in sheer frustration. Given the heavy rainfall that Sri Lanka experiences during this season, there was even talk of relocating the venue. But here we stand. As for Friday, if the weather forecast is to be entirely relied on, another substantial amount of rainfall is expected. However, the current live scenes paint a different picture. The latest update from Colombo informs us that the skies are currently bright and clear. So it seems we're off to a promising start.

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: HOLA!

India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Greetings, all! Parts of northern India woke up to steady rainfall which brought the temperature down a bit, but cricket fans would be hoping for the dreaded showers to stay away in today's fierce Asia Cup Super 4 contest between India and Bangladesh at Colombo's R Premadasa Stadium.  A dead rubber on paper, India and Bangladesh, it is anything but inconsequential. Mere head-to-head statistics, heavily favoring India, fail to capture the true essence of the riveting India vs Bangladesh cricket rivalry. Over the past decade, this contest has evolved into one of the most fiercely contested and eagerly anticipated matchups, transcending the boundaries of the cricket pitch and igniting fervor both on and off the field.
