India (314 & 145/7) defeat Bangladesh (227 & 231) by 3 wickets - India win series 2-0

[Champ_Pal]

How tall is Unadkat? He is towering over BD fielders.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

These two alone can chase this.

 

[MP2011]

Great shot by Unadkat.

 

[Champ_Pal]

6 by Unadkat )

Looks like he took his 50 lakhs sold price in IPL auction to heart

 

[Champ_Pal]

Another 50-75 runs would have made BD favorites here.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Unadkat gone

 

[Champ_Pal]

Unadkat gone

Scored more runs than the superstars.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Why did they take a review for Jaydev? Review lost for legendary batsman Jaydev?

 

[Champ_Pal]

What a waste of a review.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Wow. Should have saved reviews for batsman like Pant and Iyer. What the hell were these tailenders thinking?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pant and Patel batting together

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Stadium is almost empty. Even Bangladeshi fans don't trust their team to win this match?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Axar 444

 

[Champ_Pal]

Poor bowling by BD. Just bowl straight on a length.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Feel Shreyas would have been a better optionon this dicey pitch and turning pitch. LH and RH would mix it up nicely. Shreyas would have just played the ball on its merits and Pant to come in when the chase is around 40 ish.
but obviously team mgmt does not care about lh rh.
meanwhile Akshar is looking the most comfortable of the lot...

 

[MP2011]

Much maligned Axar has scored almost half the runs we have scored in this innings.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

77 runs to win

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pant gone

 

[Raja111]

Gone. Thought he's due a failure

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pant gone.

Axar has to do it all by himself.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

71/6

 

[Champ_Pal]

Gone. Thought he is due a failure

He did not look comfortable. Played too many shots and looked jittery.

 

[DRsohail]

India in trouble. One more wikcekt and they will be all out below 100.

 

[Champ_Pal]

If Iyer falls, it will be all over.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

our guys cant read spin from the hand.
they are playing like angrez's ...off the pitch

 

[Champ_Pal]

So far Axar looked very comfortable of all Indian batsmen.

 

[Champ_Pal]

our guys cant read spin from the hand.
they are playing like angrez's ...off the pitch

In the quest to win on pacy pitches, Indian batsmen forgot how to play in home conditions.

 

[imshally81]

Jaffa

 

[sweep_shot]

Pant is gone. Big wicket.

BD have a good chance now.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Axar gone too

 

[imshally81]

Bowled Emm

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

wow...this is some awesome fightback by BD.....surely BD fav from here.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Time for Ashwin magic.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

5fer for Mehidy. Shame on Bangladeshi fans for not supporting their team and not coming to stadium. Indian fans used to fill up the stadiums in 90s to support their team.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

and the PP locals come pouring out

 

[sweep_shot]

Axar is out.

India lose their 7th.

 

[DRsohail]

and the PP locals come pouring out

Of course I am rooting for Bangladesh. no shame in that.

 

[sweep_shot]

India still need 71 runs. 3 wickets in hand.

 

[sweep_shot]

Ashwin has 5 Test hundreds. Wow! Didn't know he has that many.

 

[MenInG]

Ashwin has 5 Test hundreds. Wow! Didn't know he has that many.

Quite capable of winning this for India. Just needs support.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Ball is spinning and keeping low.

 

[MP2011]

Quite capable of winning this for India. Just needs support.

Chasing in a test match is a different kettle of fish though.

 

[sweep_shot]

Ball is spinning and keeping low.

Typical Mirpur pitch.

 

[BDfanforever]

Stadium is almost empty. Even Bangladeshi fans don't trust their team to win this match?

They are fed up with the constant L in test matches.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Of course I am rooting for Bangladesh. no shame in that.

off course, no shame in that..cheers m8!

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Iyer and ashwin can still win it. Bangladesh cant let them settle.

 

[sweep_shot]

There are two right-handed batters now. Bring in Taijul. Give Mehidy (off-spinner) rest.

 

[Champ_Pal]

BD should bowl Tajul along with Mehdy.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD should bowl Tajul along with Mehdy.

No. Mehidy is easy for right-handers.

Shakib and Taijul should bowl now. Both are slow left arm spinners.

 

[sweep_shot]

India need 66 more runs. 3 wickets in hand.

BD need to get another wicket soon.

 

[Champ_Pal]

No. Mehidy is easy for right-handers.

Shakib and Taijul should bowl now. Both are slow left arm spinners.

You cannot take Mehdy out as he is on a roll.

 

[dravidthewall]

Very happy for the result.Dropping kuldeep richly deserved

 

[sweep_shot]

32 out of 33 overs have been bowled by spinners in 4th innings.

 

[Sidilicious]

I for one, am hoping for a Bangladesh win now. I am tired of seeing KL, Kohli and the rubbish Axar and useless selections like Unadkat.

Only hoping for a silver lining that losing this would lead to some youngsters coming in the team.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Ashwin dropped

I think India may just win it by 1 wicket or something.

Mominul just dropped a catch.

 

[Ab Fan]

Time for Iyer to prove his clutch gene. Ashwin also is capable of winning it with bat.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

We aren't going to lose the series so all of them will retain their places.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Very happy for the result.Dropping kuldeep richly deserved

BCCI will brush this result under the carpet. They will simply drop Gill or Iyer and bring in Rohit as though that will solve the team’s batting woes.

 

[sweep_shot]

Taijul in the attack finally.

Taijul and Shakib should bowl till this partnership is broken.

 

[dravidthewall]

Kohli dropping 4 catches and dropping kuldeep.What more result you expect.

 

[Raja111]

India should have come out with attacking mindset as the target is too low and the deficit would have been reduced much by now and the lower order bats could tuk tuk their way to the target.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Very happy for the result.Dropping kuldeep richly deserved

Yeah he would have batted really well here.

 

[dravidthewall]

Yeah he would have batted really well here.

Bangladesh would not have score 231 runs in this kind of pitch and india would not have chasing more than 50 runs . See how mehedy is bowling in this pitch.

 

[sweep_shot]

India need 62 more runs.

This game should be over before tea.

 

[Champ_Pal]

India should have come out with attacking mindset as the target is too low and the deficit would have been reduced much by now and the lower order bats could tuk tuk their way to the target.

The entire top order played with such negative mindset. They were looking to survive when the target was so low. Not one showed the intent to chase this and finish it off quickly.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Another 20 runs without a wkt and india r favs

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

They jus need 1 wkt

 

[dravidthewall]

The entire top order played with such negative mindset. They were looking to survive when the target was so low. Not one showed the intent to chase this and finish it off quickly.

When did the likes of Rahul,kohli ,pujara played with positive intent in test cricket? It was pant who saved us many time

 

[Champ_Pal]

They jus need 1 wkt

BD are 80-20 favs here. They just need 1 wicket here.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Bangladesh can still choke.

 

[sweep_shot]

57 more runs are needed.

These two have added 14.

 

[Champ_Pal]

When did the likes of Rahul,kohli ,pujara played with positive intent in test cricket? It was pant who saved us many time

I mean scoring at 4rpo is not difficult in this day and age.

 

[sweep_shot]

I mean scoring at 4rpo is not difficult in this day and age.

Scoring at 4 RPO is difficult in Mirpur. Very spin-friendly pitch.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

I mean scoring at 4rpo is not difficult in this day and age.

Rahul is not good enough for intl. cricket

Pujara and Kohli have become old.

We need 3 new test batters, regardless of outcome from this match

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

into double fig is Shreyas...even that seems like an achievement...
kudos to bangla...what an awesome fightback

 

[sweep_shot]

Drinks break. First hour is done.

India have added 43 runs while losing 3 wickets.

 

[Raja111]

You can't survive longer here. Someone should play the kind of inning mehdi/Rohit played at number 9 in the ODI series

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

444 by Future Captain Iyer

 

[sweep_shot]

Why are they bowling Mehidy now? He is leaking 3-4 runs per over. Too easy for right-handers.
