Bangladesh restrict India to 200

Monday, 22 June 2015


Mustafizur Rahman's superb left arm seam bowling set up the stage for a relatively easy run chase for Bangladesh in the second ODI against India at the Sher -e- Bangla Stadium Sunday, reports bdnews24.com.
India, 196 for 8 in 43.5 overs when rain stopped play, were bowled out for 200 in 45 overs soon after play resumed after interruption for two hours.
Mustafiz (6 for 43) drew first blood scalping opener Rohit Sharma for a duck in the second ball of the match and then ripped through the Indian middle order just when skipper M S Dhoni (47) and Suresh Raina (34) had looked like making a slow recovery .
Mustafiz first had Raina caught behind by Litton Das off a rising delivery outside the off stump .
Soon after, his well -concealed slower one foxed Dhoni into playing early and the attempted cover driver ballooned up to Soumya Sarkar at mid-off for an easy catch.
In the very next ball, the teenage sensation trapped Akashar Patel plumb lbw with a dipping in-swinger. Though denied the hat-trick by a watchful Ravichandran Ashwin, Mustafiz struck soon after removing the lanky Indian spinner, caught behind by Liton Kumar Das.
In the last ball of his allotted ten overs, immediately after resumption of play, Mustafiz bowled Jadeja (11) with a beautiful dipping inswinger.
Mustafiz's varied his pace, line and bounce to have the Indians guessing all the while in his second spell after his first five overs had cost him 32 runs.
Mustafiz is the only bowler in the world to have taken 11 wickets in his first two one-day matches , beating Brian Vittori who had taken 10 wickets in his first two matches.
On Thursday, Mustafiz had made a dream debut with a 5 for 50 in the first ODI against India.
He was brilliantly supported both by his seam bowling partners and spinners.
Off spinner Nasir Hossain struck twice in quick succession, removing the dangerous Virat Kohli (23) and Shikhar Dhawan (53)  after the two had put on a fighting   -run second wicket stand  to bring India back into the game for a while.
Kohli was trapped lbw playing across to one that straightened as he played for the turn. Dhawan was beaten in flight and edged to be caught behind.
Rubel Hossain had newcomer Ambati Rayadu by Nasir at gully for a duck to leave India precariously perched at 110 for 4. Later he removed tail-ender Bhuvsneswar Kumar caught behind off a bouncer for India's last wicket.
