It will be a must-win match for India when they will lock horns against Bangladesh in the second ODI at the Shere Bangla National Stadium on Wednesday. The home team had won the thrilling first game by one wicket after Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s heroics with the bat.
We look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.
Current form of India: L NR NR L W
The Rohit Sharma-led team was not at their best in the first game as they didn’t come up with a good batting performance. The tourists could only post an under-par score of 186 runs on the board and it was always going to be difficult for them to defend it.
Current form of Bangladesh: W W L L W
Bangladesh will be delighted after taking a 1-0 lead in the series. The hosts were brilliant with the ball as Shakib Al Hasan picked up a five-wicket haul while Ebadot Hossain took four wickets. Mehidy Hasan was also brilliant as he provided the finishing touches to take his team home.
