BAN vs IND (2nd ODI) – Highlights

India and Bangladesh met in the 2nd match of the three-match ODI series yesterday at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium. Batting first in that match, Bangladesh set a huge target. But India could not reach the target as the scheduled 50 overs ended. As a result, they had to leave the field after losing the series.

The Bangladesh captain got bowled by this Indian pacer (7 off 23 balls).

In the 12th over of the innings, Umran Malik stormed the pace 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 get out even though he gave the over a maiden. Nazmul Hossain came to bat after one over and Umran did not delay picking up the wicket. The left-handed batsman scored 21 runs in 3 boundaries off 35 balls. After that, Shakib could not last long.
