IND vs BAN 2nd ODI: India’s must-win game to stay alive in the series

IND vs BAN 2nd ODI

Bangladesh is basking on the victory in the first ODI and is aiming to continue the same in the second ODI that is scheduled to be held today. On the other side, Team India will be looking forward to winning this game and staying alive in the series.

Bangladesh enjoys an impeccable record at home. They haven’t lost an ODI series at home since 2016. Meanwhile, India lost its last ODI series in Bangladesh in 2015. If they lose this match, this will be the second consecutive ODI series loss for Rohit Sharma and his men.

Bangladesh was brilliant with the ball in the last game. Even their top-order batters put a decent effort on a tricky pitch. So, they will not be tampering with the winning combination. The superlative form of their star player Shakib Al Hasan will be an advantage for Bangladesh.

On the flip side, India will be planning to replace Shahbaz Ahmed with Axar Patel if he is fit. Though Kuldeep Sen was expensive in the first ODI, the management will not drop him and try to give him another chance. The bowling attack will be spearheaded by Mohammed Siraj once again. The match will be held in Dhaka. It begins at 11.30 AM.
