Memorable knock and moment for Mehidy Hasan .. Two gritty ones in a row against India. But to let the game drift from 69-6 … ouch! Far from settled. These signs must not be taken lightly .. #BanvInd

69-6 to 271-7 is a special effort. These could be two career changing games for Mehidy Hasan Miraz.

Stellar comeback by Bangladesh. Mehidy Hasan Miraz has done it twice in two consecutive games now…of course, this time there was Mahmadullah too. India will have to bat out of their skins to equalise the series…271 is a huge total on this surface #BanvInd
