Bangladesh vs India, 2nd ODI at Dhaka, BAN v IND, Dec 07 2022 - Match Result

8.30pm Cheers Himanshu. Another cracking finish in Mirpur. Mehidy and Mahmudullah set it up, dragging Bangladesh up to 271 for 7 from the pits of 69 for 6. India, powered by an injured Rohit, took the game down to the final ball, but Mutafizur nervelessly closed it out. Can Bangladesh press onto whitewash India 3-0, in Chattogram? I'll bring you the presentation shortly. Do stick with us.

Rohit, India captain: Honestly, the thumb is not too great. Some dislocation on the finger, but not a fracture, which is why I could come and bat. I think when you lose a game, there are positives and negatives... From 70 for 6 to allowing them to 270-odd was not a great effort from the bowlers. The middle overs and back end are hurting us - it hurt us in the first game as well. We need to focus on what we need to do as individuals but not taking anything away from Mehidy and Mahmudullah. But we need to learn how to break partnerships and that's something that will hold you in good stead. In one-day cricket, it's all about partnerships like those guys did it. When you get 50, 70-run partnerships, you should make it 100-120 partnership. Having said that, we have a lot of things to look at and we need to be a bit brave and take more chances. Few injury concerns and we need to get to the bottom of it; maybe they're playing too much cricket. It's something we have to sit down with our team at NCA and try and monitor their workload. Can't afford to have half-fit players representing India.

Mehidy, Player of the Match: Last few years I've worked hard and I need to focus on particular areas. The coach gives me lots of information as to how to play in international cricket. He [Mahmudullah] is a senior guy and we just wanted to build a partnership. It was a great moment for me and while bowling I just tried the good areas.

Litton, Bangladesh captain: Feeling very happy. Winning the series as captain - it's a dream come true. I decided that 240 would be enough in Mirpur. We lost six wickets but the way Miraz and Riyad bhai played was outstanding. The wicket played well in the second half and I just changed the bowlers. We are going for winning the match [in Chattogram].

That's all we have for you. Thanks for tuning in. Until next time, this is Deivarayan Muthu signing off on the behalf of Himanshu Agrawal and Chandan Duorah. Take care and good night.

Mustafa Moudi: "Mehidy will be taking away 2 PTOM awards in 2 games. Guess the Player of the Series award is already in his kitty!!

Afeef: "Took me back to a decade ago when Rohit used to bat in the middle order and finish games sometimes "

Khurram: "Credit to Bangladesh, the way they have taken the game away from India..Considering the class of Rohit, KL amd Kohli, India should have won the series..But Mehidy Miraz made a big difference in both the games.."

Kamesh: "Rohit's innings an example of what the Indian top order can achieve if they play fearlessly! "

Nishant : "Wake up calls for India. We have to get our strategy and team selection right. Shows that we're dependent on a few names to win. "

Akhil: "Luck is finally out for India against Bangladesh, having snatched wins from the jaws of defeat in a few important matches in the recent past. Looks like luck is favouring Bangla now and it is only a reprieve for their fans."

Makarand: "No intent shown by Thakur in his 22 ball 7. That proved very costly at the end. If he has to cement his place, need to be little better in approach."

Tushar Sem: "Not to be too harsh on Siraj but in the modern game you need to be able to put bat to ball at least. See what Fizz did in the first game. "

A heroic performance of 100* from 81 balls from Mehidy led the way for the hosts, as he added 148 with Mahmudullah after Bangladesh were 69 for 6 at one stage. They took the momentum into the dressing room after the first half, but who knew they would have to give it away so often, with Iyer and Axar quickly adding 107, and Rohit thrashing a rapid fifty. Deiva will bring the presentation to you.

Mk: "48th over maiden hurts"

Aditi: "Well done Rohit. You did what you could."

8.20pm Another thriller in Mirpur. This game swung one way and the other, and it wasn't until the final delivery of the allotted overs that we knew who the winner would be. Rohit cracked 51* off 28 balls from No. 9 - an injured left thumb forced him to bat there - as the match, which was all but Bangladesh's until a few overs back, abruptly seemed to have been snatched away from them.

6 off 1

20 to get. Fizz to Rohit.

Abhishek Mukher: "BD panicking"

Fizz back from over the wicket

Tariq: "@Sukh you jinxed him already."
