Bangladesh Score 256/8 Against India in First Innings in Pune
The toss was won by Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, who chose to bat first. With a 93-run opening combination, Tanzid Hasan (51) and Litton Das (66) got the side off to a solid start. Young Tanzid played fiercely and attacked the bowlers, while Litton began cautiously at the opposite end.
Kuldeep Yadav struck first, removing Tanzid Hasan in the 15th over. It made things easier for the bowlers, who quickly hauled India back into the game with a few of wickets. Litton also reached his half-century but died while attempting to play aggressive cricket.
Mushfiqur Rahim (38) and Mahmudullah (46) batted well in the bottom middle order to help Bangladesh reach 256/8 after 50 overs. In the bowling department, India’s Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja, and Mohammed Siraj each took two wickets.
At the mid-innings break, Jadeja commented on the first-inning action:
“I think, wicket looks very good, not much turn on the wicket and if we play just normal cricket, we should get the job done. (About the celebration after the catch) Celebration was for our fielding catch, after every game, we get the best fielder’s award and I was telling him to look at me.
“The wicket was good, with even bounce and it’s flat, the ball was coming on nicely and hopefully our batters go out there and chase it down easily. You have to bowl into the stumps, can’t bowl anywhere else, keep it with tight lines and bowl according to the field.”
