india vs bangladesh asia cup 2016 highlights live scorecard telecast.Mustafizur Rahman’s international debut was impressive. It was a T20 international against Pakistan and the left-arm seamer from Khulna division returned with 2/20 in four overs. His transition to 50-over format was natural and it was where the teenager announced his presence.
For Bangladesh, winning a series against India had always been their Holy Grail. They eventually achieved the feat, clinching a three-match ODI series 2-1 in June last year. Mustafizur finished with 13 wickets at 11.53. History was made and the youngster became a star overnight. Last season had been excellent for Bangladesh in ODIs. So was it for Mustafizur, who played nine matches, picking 26 scalps at 12.34. His team won seven of those games.
Over 20: Rohit, Pandya’s wicket in that over, which Dhoni ends with a six. India post 166/6.
19.4 Al-Amin Hossain to Hardik Pandya
OUT! Straight to the fielder! Full on off, Pandya tries to go big over long on but mistimes. The ball goes straight into the hands of Mahmudullah at mid on. Excellent cameo by Pandya comes to an end.
19.2 Al-Amin Hossain to Rohit Sharma
OUT! No, he won’t! This is a brilliant catch. If only they could catch it when he was on 21. Short of a length ball on middle and leg, Rohit goes for the pull. He hits it hard but Soumya Sarkar runs to his left from deep mid-wicket to take a stunning catch diving forward. What a fine knock by Rohit Sharma though.
Over 19: 8 runs off Mustafizur. 157/4
Over 18: Two fours from Pandya off Al-Amin. 149/4
Over 17: A four and two sixes off Mustafizur. 136/4
Over 16: Two boundaries and a six from Rohit off Mortaza. 115/4
Over 15: Yuvraj’s wicket and 7 off the over. 97/4
14.5 Al Hasan to Yurvraj Singh
OUT! YUVI! Tossed up delivery on middle and leg, Yuvraj tries to slog sweep over deep mid-wicket. He doesnt get the elevation and a catch is taken by Soumya Sarkar and he departs.
Over 14: A boundary from Yuvraj in that over from Mustafizur. 90/3
Over 13: 5 runs off Shakib. 81/3
Over 12: 10 runs off Mortaza. 76/3
Over 11: A six and two fours from Rohit off Taskin Ahmed. 66/3
Over 10: 5 off Mahmudullah. 52/3
Over 9: 4 runs off Shakib Al Hasan. 47/3
Over 8: Raina’s wicket and 4 off Mahmudullah. 43/3
7.5 Mahmudullah to Suresh Raina
OUT! Another one bites the dust! On middle and off, Raina comes down the track to play this one but misses the line of the delivery. The ball goes through and rattles the timber. Mahmudullah strikes in his very first over. India in trouble now.
Over 7: 8 runs off Mortaza. 39/2
Over 6: Two boundaries from Raina off Hossain’s over. 31/2
Over 5: 4 runs and Kohli’s wicket in that Mortaza over. 23/2
The young man, however, faces a new challenge. He was a relatively unknown quantity last term. But one year is a long time in cricket and batsmen are expected to figure him out. Can he avoid the second season blues? His captain has prescribed “home work” for his pace bowling spearhead. That Mustafizur is said to be immune to pressure is a bonus.
