Shakib Al Hasab propels Bangladesh to a decent total

Tanzid Hasan managed to score 13 runs off 12 deliveries before being dismissed, and Litton Das was dismissed for a golden duck. Anamul Haque contributed just 4 runs off 11 balls. However, the experienced Shakib Al Hasan anchored the innings with a splendid knock of 80 runs off 85 deliveries, which included 6 fours and 3 sixes.

Towhid Hridoy played a crucial role, scoring 54 runs off 81 balls, helping Bangladesh reach a respectable total. Nasum Ahmed (44 runs off 45 balls) and Mahedi Hasan (29 runs off 23 balls) also chipped in with valuable runs. In the end, Bangladesh managed to post a total of 265/8 in their allotted 50 overs.

India’s bowling attack was led by Mohammed Shami, who claimed 2 wickets for 32 runs in his 8 overs. Shardul Thakur was the pick of the Indian bowlers, taking 3 wickets for 65 runs in his 10-over spell. Axar Patel, Prasidh Krishna, and Ravindra Jadeja also managed to take one wicket each.
