IND vs BAN: After dismissing the top order cheaply, India yet again struggled against the lower order batters as Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mahmudullah steered Bangladesh to 271/1 in 50 overs in the 2nd ODI.
Courtesy of Siraj's opening burst and Washington Sundar's 3 wickets in 2 overs along with Umran's fiery pace, Bangladesh were at 69/6 at one time. However, Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mahmudullah held the crease firmly for the hosts as they added 148 runs in 165 balls for the 7th wicket.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who was the star for Bangladesh in the 1st ODI, maintained his form and smacked his first One-day International as he scored 100 runs in 83 balls with 8 fours & 8 sixes, while former captain Mahmudullah scored 77 runs in 96 balls with 7 fours.
Mehdy Hasan Miraz became only the 2nd batter ever to smack a ton while batting at #8. Nasum Ahmed came on to bat in the 47th over and gave a good finish with 18 runs off 11 balls, laced with 2 fours & a six.
