India resumed Day 4 with 45/4 and still needing 100 runs to win. However, they were off to a disastrous start. Jaydev Unadkat, Rishabh Pant and Axar Patel departed adding just 29 runs. It was Mehidy Hasan Miraz who wreaked havoc. His fifer kept Bangladesh in the match.
However, Ashwin and Iyer soaked in the pressure from Bangladeshi spinners. With Shreyas taking charge against Miraz, India fought back. But it was Manimul Haque’s dropped chance of Ashwin that gave India the hope. Miraz created a chance but Haque dropped Ashwin on 2. Ashwin went on to score an unbeaten 42. Iyer scored an unbeaten 29. With the win, India have kept their unbeaten run in Tests intact against Bangladesh.

India will be favourites to clinch victory on Sunday but Bangladesh will have their tails up when they take the field. The hosts had a fine last hour, dismissing India’s top four for single-digit scores. KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli had no answer on a turning track. India had to send two night watchmen in Axar Patel and Jaydev Unadkat to see through to Stumps.
Stumps on Day 3️⃣ of the second #BANvIND Test.#TeamIndia move to 45/4 & require 100 runs to win with @akshar2026 & @JUnadkat at the crease.

While it is not a high chase, the visitors will still be under the pump. Bangladesh will look to take inspiration for SriLanka’s 2015 Galle Test win over Virat Kohli’s side. India then were bowled out for 112 in pursuit of 179 in the fourth innings. Bangladesh will certainly eye to replicate Herath and Co, but India will count on Pant and Shreyas to pull through.

In the first innings, the left-hander scored a quick-fire 93 to take India into the lead. Shreyas ably supported him with a fine hand of 87. The onus will be on the duo once again to seal the chase and keep India’s WTC hopes alive. If India overhauls 145, it will be the third-highest successful fourth-innings chase in Mirpur. The top three winning scores are 209, 205 and 103.
The result is of great consequence, with India needing wins in at least four of their five Tests. A defeat all but ends their run for a spot in the World Test Championship finals. With a series against leaders Australia, India cannot let opportunities slip against Bangladesh.
