Divya Delhi:  In the Champions Trophy 2025 tournament opening between India and Bangladesh, Bangladesh chose to bat first after winning the toss, although it appears that this choice backfired. With Harshit Rana taking one wicket for himself and Mohammd Shami and Axar Patel taking two each, they have already lost five wickets for just 39 runs. As a result, India became one of the best sides in Champions Trophy matches to take the most wickets in the opening ten overs. Bangladesh's most catastrophic batting performance occurred at the 2025 Champions Trophy in Dubai, where they lost 39 runs after giving up five crucial wickets to India. Following earlier tournament powerplay missteps that gave Bangladesh the worst start of six wickets lost for 44 runs against New Zealand in a 2002 encounter at the SSC in Colombo, the batting disaster during the India match in Dubai came next. Bangladesh's vulnerability throughout their first 10 over periods in Champions Trophy matches is demonstrated by performance statistics. Unexpectedly, Pakistan's recent failure adds to their contentious tournament history, which includes two historic collapses against the West Indies in Southampton and South Africa in Mohali in , powerplay specialists' unique bowling style during World Cups and Champions Trophies has raised more questions about Bangladesh's early-over performance. With 26 dismissals at a strike rate of 33.6, Trent Boult of New Zealand leads the pack in fast bowling statistics, while Mohammed Shami of India comes in second with 20 dismissals at a strike rate of 19.8. Australia's Mitchell Starc, who took 19 wickets at 32.8 SR, England's Chris Woakes, who took 14 wickets at 40.2 SR, and Australia's Josh Hazlewood, who took 13 wickets at 38.3 SR, were among the top five powerplay specialists in the most recent World Cups and Champions Trophy. Statistics show that Bangladesh had serious powerplay issues, but fast bowlers today are excellent at making early breakthroughs, and Shami's 19.8 strike rate is a remarkable accomplishment to take advantage of new deliveries.
