Speaking of the current update of the match, the Indian team was 45-4 at the end of the third day’s play having all-rounder Axar Patel and night-watchman Jaydev Unadkat there in the middle. The Indian top-order failed completely against the spin attack of Bangladesh, now the visitors need 100 more runs to win the match with six wickets to spare.

Earlier in the game on the third day, the hosts lost three early wickets only on the score of 51 runs at the start of the day. But later on, young opener Zakir Hasan’s crucial knock of 51 runs followed by a brilliant 73-run half-century by Litton Das helped Bangladesh to post a total of 231 runs posting a target of 145 runs for India in the fourth innings.

Axar Patel ended up as the leading wicket-taker for India in the second innings by scalping three wickets and conceding 68 runs in 19.2 overs. Other than him, Ravichandran Ashwin and Mohammed Siraj also scalped two wickets alongside one scalp each by Umesh Yadav and Jaydev Unadkat.

Notably, the Indian team has to win this match and the series as well by a clean sweep margin to keep their hopes alive in contention for the World Test Championship 2023 Final.
