So, Bangladesh have crawled their way to a decent total, courtesy of their captain Mashrafe Mortaza who played a handy knock along with the tail towards the end. They recovered well after losing two early wickets. Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rahim were going great guns in the middle as they stitched a partnership of 123. However, after the departure of the southpaw, they lost their way as wickets kept on falling. Bangladesh would have liked to have 300 on the board but fell short.
India made an excellent comeback with the ball in the middle overs. Kedar Jadhav and Ravindra Jadeja picked crucial wickets and stopped the run flow. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was good upfront and Jasprit Bumrah was on the money in the death overs. The Men in Blue would fancy themselves to chase this target down on a very good wicket. However, the Bangla Tigers will give it their all to build pressure on the famed Indian batting line-up. Join us for the chase in a while.
