The two opening pair of Bangladesh started fairly well and their partnership developed well. Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah Riyad pulled the team after the dismissal of Tanjid Shakib and Liton Das. The responsible batting of these two gave India a target of 257 runs for 8 wickets in the stipulated 50 overs. I think the target of 257 runs will not be too difficult for India because every player in India is batting well. It is the responsibility of each player to bat well and they will reach victory very easily. I think India will win this match very easily. Let's see how well Bangladesh can bowl in the end.
Thanks to Mahmudullah Bangladesh reached 257 which is a respectable total. I expected Bangladesh to get to 300 because of the good start they got. The middle order completely collapsed due to the superb bowling and outstanding fielding of the Indian team. Another good comeback by the Indian bowlers today. Rohit Sharma field placement and bowling changes have been excellent throughout the tournament.
It won't be that easy for Bangladesh bowlers to defend a small target. The pitch still looks good for batting and Indian batters would try to utilize it. In the last match against Pakistan Shubhman Gill got out cheaply today he should use this pitch to get his momentum back.
