India were in a winning position in the first ODI after they reduced the hosts to 136/9. At that point, Bangladesh were still 51 runs away from victory with one wicket in hand. But Mehidy Hasan Miraz scored an unbeaten 38 to clinch an unlikely victory. Earlier, Shakib Al Hasan starred with the ball, picking 5 for 37 while KL Rahul made a superb 73 off 70 for India.
Keep an eye on…
KL Rahul has his issues in pacing the innings at opening but not in the middle order. He has done extremely well at no. 5, scoring 526 runs at an average of 58 while striking at 112.
Shakib Al Hasan is the greatest player to have come out of Bangladesh and he continues to perform at the highest level. On pitches like this, the left arm spin all-rounder has immense value.
