    India vs Bangladesh

Tilak Verma could not do anything amazing in his debut and he also became a victim of Tanzim Hasan. In this way, India lost its second wicket in the third over.

    India vs Bangladesh

    KL Rahul (19 runs) was supporting Gill. While Gill batted fast and reached his half-century, Rahul was playing slowly. Wicketkeeper batsman Rahul could hit only two fours despite playing 39 balls, due to which he looked quite disappointed. In an attempt to play a big shot, he lifted Mehdi Hasan’s ball straight to midwicket but could not time it correctly. And in the 18th over the Indian team got its third blow. In this way the partnership of 57 runs for the third wicket was broken.

    India vs Bangladesh

Kishan was seen struggling and could not stay at the crease for long. Kishan’s innings ended when he tried to reverse sweep the ball of Mehidy Hasan Miraz, although the Indian batsman also took a review of it but to no avail.

    India vs Bangladesh

    Now all eyes were on Suryakumar Yadav (26 runs). The pitch was helping the spinners and they were bowling slower than the Indian spinners. Bangladesh bowlers made it difficult for Gill and Suryakumar to score runs, the effect of which was clearly visible on the run rate. Suryakumar started playing openly with ease and in the meantime played some risky shots which also scored runs.

    India vs Bangladesh

    Suryakumar was continuously trying to sweep every ball. Bangladesh’s experienced captain Shakib Al Hasan, sensing this, bowled the right length and clean bowled him. Gill, who was moving towards his fifth ODI century, hit Mehdi Hasan Miraz at long on and two huge sixes over the bowler’s head in the 36th over, taking the score to 163 runs for five wickets.

    India vs Bangladesh

    Ravindra Jadeja (07) could play only 12 balls and was bowled by Mustafizur Rahman due to which India lost the sixth wicket for 170 runs.

After Gill’s dismissal in the 44th over, there were hopes from Akshar Patel but he could not take the team to victory.

    India vs Bangladesh
