India’s Morning Collapse
Resuming the day on 339/6, India had a tricky challenge ahead against the second new ball. Bangladesh’s Taskin Ahmed and Hasan Mahmud exploited the conditions perfectly, wrapping up the Indian innings swiftly.
India managed to add just 37 more runs to their overnight score, finishing at 376. Taskin picked up three wickets, while Hasan Mahmud claimed a well-deserved five-wicket haul. Despite the collapse, a crucial 199-run partnership between Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja had already set up a solid total for India.
Bangladesh’s Struggles with the Bat
In response, Bangladesh’s batting lineup crumbled under pressure. The visitors got off to a dreadful start as Shadman Islam was dismissed by Jasprit Bumrah in the very first over. Things worsened quickly when debutant Akash Deep struck twice in successive deliveries, leaving Bangladesh floundering at 26/3.
India’s fast bowlers kept the pressure on, with Mohammed Siraj and Bumrah taking crucial wickets soon after lunch. Bangladesh was reduced to 40/5, and hopes of a strong reply were fading fast.
Litton and Shakib’s Brief Resistance
Bangladesh’s only moment of stability came through Litton Das and Shakib Al Hasan, who put together a fighting half-century partnership. The duo looked settled as batting became easier, but clever field adjustments by India turned the tide again. Ravindra Jadeja struck twice, with Litton holing out in the deep and Shakib falling to a reverse sweep, effectively ending Bangladesh’s resistance.
