BAN vs IND – 2nd ODI – Team Previews

Bangladesh

Bangladesh gave an opportunity to India to bat first and the decision worked in favour of the team. The ballers were getting support from the home ground and Shakib Al Hasan picked up 5 wickets by giving away 36 runs at an economy of 3.60. India’s prospects of scoring a challenging total were further diminished by fast bowler Ebadot Hossain (4-47), and they were eventually bowled out for 186.

It was a small target to chase for Bangladesh but they still crumbled in the middle of the game as the Indian bowlers broke some crucial partnerships. They were decisively defeated by Miraz (38* off 39 balls) and Mustafizur Rahman (10* off 11 balls).

The next match will be played at the same venue and Bangladesh won’t make any changes to their playing XI. The pitch is working in favour of the bowlers and Bangladesh has a depth in their bowling section which will give them a huge benefit.

India

In the first game, Bangladesh displayed the weakness of team India as their batters completely failed to score and lost wickets easily. Their top order has been unsuccessful for some time, and in the opening ODI, Shikhar Dhawan, captain Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli once again fell prey to cheap shots.

The only good outcome from the first game was that KL Rahul played a crucial inning and showed some positive signs of his talent. The burden of making the big runs will once again fall on Rahul and Shreyas Iyer because the top order appears shaky and out of touch.

India’s bowling was good and they did get support from the pitch as well. However, in reality, Indian bowlers are missing out on pace and technicalities. Mohammad Shami and Jasprit Bumrah’s absence has made Indian bowling a weaker section.

Bangladesh: Anamul Haque, Litton Das (c), Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mahmudullah, Afif Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Hasan Mahmud, Mustafizur Rahman, Ebadot Hossain

As witnessed in the first game, the pitch clearly supports the bowlers. It gets difficult for a batter to play a strong inning and the same will be repeated in the second ODI. The toss-winning team should opt to bowl first as the chase will be much easier.
