India's Batting Collapses, Bangladesh Seals Historic Victory
In a stunning turn of events, Bangladesh defeated India by 5 wickets in the second Test match played at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka, leveling the two-match series 1-1. India's batting lineup crumbled under pressure, failing to chase down a target of 145 runs in the fourth innings.
Bangladesh's Inspired Bowling Performance
Bangladesh's bowlers were relentless throughout the match, exploiting the conditions and India's batting frailties. Shakib Al Hasan led the way with 5 wickets in the first innings, while Mehidy Hasan Miraz took 4 wickets in the second innings. Taskin Ahmed and Khaled Ahmed chipped in with important wickets as well.
India's Batting Woes
India's batting lineup, which had been in good form in the first Test, struggled against Bangladesh's spin attack. Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara, and Rishabh Pant all failed to make significant contributions. Shreyas Iyer was the only Indian batsman who showed some fight, scoring a gritty 86 in the second innings.
Bangladesh's Historic Triumph
Bangladesh's victory is their first-ever Test win over India on Bangladeshi soil. It is also their first win over India in a Test match since 2015. The victory is a testament to the progress Bangladesh has made in Test cricket in recent years.
Series Level and Outlook
With the series level at 1-1, the final Test match in Chattogram will be a decider. India will be desperate to regain the trophy they lost in 2015, while Bangladesh will be looking to create history by winning their first Test series against India.
Conclusion
Bangladesh's victory in the second Test match is a major upset and a historic moment for Bangladeshi cricket. India will need to regroup and come up with a strong performance in the final Test to avoid a series defeat.
