Bangladesh are nonetheless on the lookout for their preliminary Test win versus India on condition that 2000, after they initially clashed inDhaka The 2 teams have truly performed 14 instances versus every numerous different with India profitable 12 competitions whereas the persevering with to be 2 completed in attracts.

It’s just we have to perform better than what we have done in Chennai.” Shakib exhorted the younger Bangladeshi batters to rack up large for the group to be reasonably priced.
“If I speak about batting solely, I believe there was an enchancment. If you see from the primary innings to the second innings. First innings we bowled out for about 150.
“In the 2nd innings, we racked up regarding 250. If we can rack up 350, someplace there, I believe that will certainly be a significant renovation. And 350 to 400 on initial innings will certainly offer us a great deal of self-confidence and the clothing area will certainly really feel a whole lot extra comfy,” he said.
