Stay tuned for the presentation...

Earlier, India struggled to start well with the bat losing the top three batters cheaply. Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul steadied the ship to help India recover from that precarious start. Once the former was dismissed, the onus was on KL Rahul to bat through and allow India to post a respectable total. He kept the runs flowing for India while losing partners at the other end. His dismissal meant India were unable to cross the 200-run mark and were bundled out without playing the full quota of 50 overs.

Bangladesh were off to a cautious start while chasing a low total losing Najmul Hossain Shanto early. Litton Das and Anamul Haque rode on luck and did well to not lose any more wickets against the moving new ball. Then, Litton Das and Shakib Al Hasan joined hands to take the game deep. Once these two were dismissed, it was the experienced pair of Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim who took the chase forward. But, both set batters were dismissed on consecutive deliveries to put Bangladesh in a spot of bother. Thereon, Bangladesh lost their way in the chase and were quickly nine down and staring at defeat. That's when Mehidy Hasan took matters into his own hands along with Mustafizur Rahman for support and guided Bangladesh home from a losing position.

What an outstanding knock from Mehidy Hasan! He has been the hero for Bangladesh and the crowd is going berserk! An emphatic win for Bangladesh and they snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. At 136-9, they were down and out but, Mehidy Hasan brings it home from them out of nowhere. India will be rueing the opportunity they had to seal they game but KL Rahul dropped an easy catch with the gloves on. Bangladesh have taken a 1-0 lead in the series and beat India for the sixth time in ODIs.
