Bangladesh needs 323 to win
Wednesday, 16 September 2015
Bangladesh ‘A’ needs 323 to win in the first one-day of the three-match series at Bengaluru’s Chinnaswamy Stadium, India ‘A’ Gurkeerat Singh Mann and Sanju Samson’s 110-run partnership for the sixth wicket powered to a big total of 322. The spin department of Bangladesh, led by Nasir Hossain, caused early damages by dismissing three batsmen early in the innings that left India ‘A’ at 76 for 3 after 15 overs. Indian skipper Unmukt Chand, who gave a flying start to his side along with Mayank Agarwal failed to carry the momentum forward as he threw away his wicket in the fifth over, by giving the Liton Das his first catch of the day.
Indian ‘A’ team found themselves into serious trouble when Kedar Jadhav got himself run out three deliveries later. Hossain’s contributions went on increasing when his direct hit that got Jadhav out gave Bangladesh their wicket No. 4 for the day. It was when Mominul Haque’s boys thought they had the game in control; Agarwal decided to take charge on his hands and scored a 70-ball 56 before handing a catch to the Bangladesh’s upcoming cricketer Soumya Sarkar and Hossain his second wicket, according to NDTV.
