After a clueless end to the 1st ODI in Mirpur, Team India now shift their focus to the all-important 2nd ODI on the same venue as Rohit Sharma's men will be eager to level the 3-match series.
Indian batters had a poor outing in the 1st game which saw Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli flop on their ODI return. The seesaw battle saw India lose from a winning position as bowlers failed to take the last wicket. The Bangla Tigers put on a record 51-run stand for the 10th wicket.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
Though Team India has enjoyed an impressive run in ODIs in Bangladesh, having won 17 off the 23 one-day games there but the Bangla Tigers have an upper hand in recent games. Team India has managed to win just 1 of their last 4 ODIs there.
Playing conditions are expected to remain unchanged with pacers getting some assistance early on. Just like the 1st ODI, spinners will be crucial in the middle overs.
The road to ICC World Cup 2023 has already begun and Team India is left with 17 ODIs before the marquee event. However, their immediate focus will be this 2nd ODI vs Bangladesh as another fumble here will hand the series to the hosts.
