6 wickets for 69 runs in the 19th over. It has become a
big challenge for Bangladesh to build a fighting collection. However, the
experienced Mahmudullah Riyad and the hero of the previous match, Mehdi Hasan
Miraj, are trying.
They have added 35 runs so far in the seventh wicket as the
Indian bowling cannons are handled. Till writing this report, Bangladesh's
collection is 106 runs for 6 wickets in 27 overs. Mahmudullah is unbeaten
on 20 and Miraj is on 19 runs.
In the second ODI of the series at Mirpur Shere Bangla
Cricket Stadium, it was a toss for Bangladesh. Captain Liton Das decided
to bat first.
Enamul Haque Bijay opened today with Liton. He started
well. But that good did not last long. Bijay who scored 11 runs off 9
balls and 2 boundaries wasted his life.
Bijay took a simple catch at slip in the fourth ball of the
second over of Mohammad Siraj's innings. But Rohit Sharma dropped that
catch. The Indian captain left the field due to hand pain. Victory is
out on the next ball.
When the fifth ball of the over hit Bijay's pad, Siraj
appealed, the umpire also raised his finger. The Tiger opener took the
review in consultation with the captain Liton Das. But the replay showed
that the ball hit the middle stump.
After Enamul Haque's victory, Liton Das was also shown the
way to Sajghar by Mohammad Siraj. The Bangladesh captain got bowled by
this Indian pacer (7 off 23 balls).
In the 12th over of the innings, Umran Malik created a storm
with the ball in hand. Shakib Al Hasan had to get a lot of speed to handle
him. The world's best all-rounder was defeated several times in one
over. However, Shakib did not give out even though he gave the over a
maiden.
Nazmul Hossain got Shanto after one over and Umran did not
delay to pick up the wicket. On the first ball, he smashed Shanta's stumps
with a 151 km/h ball. The left-handed batsman scored 21 runs in 3
boundaries off 35 balls.
After that, Shakib could not last long. He took the
catch in the air while sweeping Washington Sundar for a slog. The innings
of this experienced batsman stopped at 8 runs from 20 balls.
After that, Washington Sundar picked up a pair of wickets in
one over. Mushfiqur was playing very carefully. His resistance was
broken by Sundar's spin in the 19th over. Mushfiq did the
defending. The ball hits his gloves and goes to short leg fielder Dhawan.
12 runs from Mushfiqur's bat in 2 boundaries off 24 balls. Afif Hossain misses the line and is bowled (0) on the very next ball of Sundar.
