The Bangladesh vs India result turned out to be an unexpected one as the Tigers punched above their weight. In a nail-biting encounter that went down to the last two balls, Bangladesh pulled off a stunning 6-run victory over India in the Super 4 stage of the Asia Cup 2023. Despite Shubman Gill's valiant century, India fell short of the 266-run target set by Bangladesh. Gill's 121 off 133 balls was the cornerstone of India's chase, but he found little support from the other end.
KL Rahul was the only other batsman who managed to stay with Gill, contributing 57 runs for the third wicket. Bangladesh's bowling was clinical, led by Mahedi Hasan who took crucial wickets. Earlier, Bangladesh posted a competitive 265/8, thanks to important knocks from Shakib Al Hasan (80) and Towhid Hridoy (54). Shardul Thakur was the pick of the Indian bowlers with 3/65.

Bangladesh were on top of the game with the ball and until Shubman Gill started to accelerate in Axar Patel’s company, the Tigers appeared to be heading towards a win. However, the wicket of Gill put a halt on India’s charge. Axar Patel kept the game alive alongside Shardul Thakur, but the latter’s wicket late in the game once again put Bangladesh on top and cornered by pressure, Axar eventually holed out as Bangladesh won by six runs.
