The men in blue took on Bangladesh in the second of the three-match ODI series at the Sher-E-Bangla stadium in Mirpur. The hosts’ skipper got an upper hand at the time of the toss and made the Indian team bowl first on the tricky surface of Sher-E-Bangla.

But things changed for the hosts when the pair of Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mahmudullah came up with their brilliant batting heroics to rescue Bangladesh. They both stitched a 148-run partnership for the fifth wicket. On the back of their partnership, Bangladesh posted a decent total of 271 runs for the loss of seven wickets in 50 overs.

While chasing the target of 272 runs, India managed to score 266 runs for the loss of nine wickets in 50 overs and lost the match by 6 runs.

Following this result of the second ODI of the three-match series, cricket fans also came up with multiple opinions. Some of the fans were disappointed with India's second consecutive defeat against Bangladesh in the series. While a few appreciated the intent of Indian skipper Rohit Sharma who came to bat at number nine with an injured thumb.

Here's how fans reacted:

Talking about the action of the match, the prolific Bangla all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz impressed and stunned everyone with another consecutive amazing performance to help his team reach a decent total of 271 runs for the loss of six wickets. Other than him, senior all-rounder Mahmudullah also scored 77 runs off 96 balls with seven boundaries to his name. Other than him, Axar Patel also scored 56 runs off 56 balls with two boundaries and three sixes to his name.

Washington Sundar ended up as the highest wicket-taker for the Indian team as he scalped three wickets. Alongside Washy, Mohammed Siraj and Umran Malik also scalped two wickets each.

While chasing the target, the Indian team crumbled down when they lost four wickets on the score of 66 runs. But the 107-run partnership for the fifth wicket between Shreyas Iyer and Axar Patel helped India to make a comeback in the match. But the wicket of Shreyas Iyer on the last ball of the 35th over came as a turning point in the match.

Rohit Sharma's surprise entry to bat for the Indian team couldn't end things in favor of India. Eventually, the visitors lost the match by 6 runs and the match ended up as a nail-biting thriller. Bangladesh has also taken the winning lead of 2-0 in the series with this win in the penultimate match of the three-match ODI series.
