The final session on the first day of the opening Test in Chattogram between Bangladesh and India looked to be slipping away with two set batters- Cheteshwar Pujara and Shreyas Iyer- capitalising the settled wicket but the Tigers clawed back from a bleak outlook to take two wickets in the last 10 overs of the day to reduce India to 278-6 at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram on Wednesday.

Mustafizur had just won it for Bangladesh! And I was there for it.

Bangladesh scripted another famous ODI series win over India as the Tigers clinched the second match of the three-match series by five runs taking an unassailable 2-0 lead at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.

It was at the lowest point of Bangladesh’s innings, with the Tigers tottering at six for 69 in the 19th over that Mehedi Hasan Miraz – saviour of the first ODI against India -- came to the crease.

Bangladesh pacer Ebadot Hossain picked up the prized wicket of India's Virat Kohli in the second over of the innings, while Mustafizur Rahman scalped the other opener Shikhar Dhawan to leave India two down for 13 runs in the second ODI of the three-matchs series at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Wednesday

Although Bangladesh edged India in the most dramatic of finishes on Sunday, they would have to look back at some of the habitual mistakes they made while pursuing what should've been a straightforward chase.

Bangladesh national cricket team were motoring on with skipper Liton Das and Shakib Al Hasan stitching up a 48-run stand before the former brushed one down the leg side to the wicketkeeper off Washington Sundar in the 20th over putting the Tigers in a spot of bother in pursuit of India's 186.

Bangladesh will take on India in the opener of the three-match ODI series starting on Sunday at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka.

In absence of injured Tamim Iqbal, opener Liton Das will be leading Bangladesh in their upcoming three-match ODI series against India this month.

Bangladesh batter Liton Das’s stellar year continued as the right-hander managed to become the highest-ever-run-getter for Bangladesh in a calendar year following a flying 27-ball 60 in Bangladesh’s Super 12 loss against India in the ongoing T20 World Cup at the Adelaide Oval on Wednesday.

Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan on Wednesday said his team's "lack of experience" in handling close matches made them come up short in a rain-hit thriller against India at the Twenty20 World Cup.

Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan reminded everyone of the recurring theme that has dominated recent India-Bangladesh T20Is after the Tigers pushed India to the brink again before spiralling to an anticlimactic finish in the T20 World Cup.

Former India players were left disappointed by the scenes in Senwes Park at Potchefstroom on Sunday after Bangladesh and India U-19 players were involved in verbal exchanges following the Bangladesh U-19s’ World Cup final victory by three wickets.

The Bangladesh Under-19 team’s ace pacer Shoriful Islam bowled with fire and set an assertive tone for the rest of the young Tigers to follow during his side’s historic win over India in the final of the ICC U-19 World Cup final.

The Bangladesh pacers have delivered some fiery performances in the ICC Under-19 World Cup and left-arm seamer Shoriful Islam picked up the baton against India in the final at Potchefstroom yesterday.

The bowlers were sending them down at pace, beating the bat and running up to the batsman. A glare followed by some choice words. The batsmen could only look back. This sequence was repeated multiple times and it may have surprised some viewers that the bowlers were Bangladeshi and the batsmen Indian.

Skipper Akbar Ali perhaps best displayed the responsibility which many of the senior members of the national team tend to lack as the youngster kept his calm and guided Bangladesh to a maiden ICC Under-19 World Cup trophy, beating India by three wickets in a rain affected final at Potchefstroom yesterday.

No more agony, no more heartbreak against India. The Young Tigers created arguably the most seminal moment in its cricketing history at Senwes Park in Potchefstroom yesterday, ending their wait for a major global trophy.

A long-held dream comes true not just for 11 under-19 players in South Africa, but for millions of cricket lovers in Bangladesh as well as the country wins its first World Cup by winning the final against India by three wickets.

On the cusp of history, first-time finalists Bangladesh will attempt to dethrone defending champions India when the young Tigers face their neighbours in the final of the ICC Under-19 World Cup at the Senwes Park in Potchefstroom today.
