Indian innings just finished and Indian batsmen could score just 191 runs in 49.2 overs. Towards the beginning of the Indian innings, Bangladeshi bowlers bowled extremely well and dismissed four Indian batsmen. Sourav Ganguly and Yuvraj Singh put up a great partnership but then the batting collapse happened. In just 16 balls, India lost 5 wickets for 2 runs. I have never seen such a collapse of Indian middle order. Ganguly scored 66 and Yuvraj made 47 runs. Except them, no Indian batsman could put up any resistance against Bangladeshi bowling. Running between the wickets was not good at all. In the end, Zaheer Khan and Patel put up a nice partnership (of 32 runs) and only for that Indian score looked some decent in the end.

You have to give a lot of credit to Bangladeshi bowlers. They were up against Indian batting line up- one of the most formidable batting line ups in the world. All the bowlers bowled extremely well.

I was very happy with the fielding of Bangladeshi players. They saved a lot of runs and this can make the difference in today’s match.

I am living in Dhaka, capital city of Bangladesh. Whenever, an Indian batsman got out, I could hear a loud cheer from the people in the street. Most people in Bangladesh are in front of their TV sets and praying for the success of Bangladesh.

Can Bangladesh cause the upset today?
