Contrary to the predictions about the playing XI in the second match of Group A in the Champions Trophy on February 20, India opted for Harshit Rana as the second specialist pacer instead of Arshdeep Singh against Bangladesh.
The move paid off, as Rana's three-wicket spell (3 for 31) proved to be the perfect foil for Mohammed Shami who led the attack with a five-wicket haul (5 for 53), laying the foundation of India's six-wicket win that saw Shubman Gill leading the run-chase with an unbeaten century (101*).
