That was a easy win for India. India be like, why do we need five days if we can defeat a team only in two and a half day? LOL. Congratulations team India. Yeah, it is true that some of us were overestimated Bangladesh. But, that was for some reason. Every team try to improve and play better than before. But it seems like this terms does not apply for team Bangladesh as they are doing worst. But as a supporter, we still have to support the team. Yet again, we will expect some better cricket from them. Let's see if they can at least win one match against India in T20 format.

Since we had the first few days of this match affected by the rain, it was obvious that this match would end up in a draw but the Indian team had other plans. Bangladesh's 2nd innings was a mess, they were all out at 146 runs and that was the major cause of their loss. Bangladesh opener Shadman Islam has made a 50 but that did not help the team's cause as other players were unable to save their wickets on the last day.



Also we should give credit to the brilliant bowling by the Indian team. Jasprit Bumrah, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, all of them took three wickets each and played a major role in putting a big dent in this Bangladesh innings.

The Indian team made their victory against Bangladesh. In the first innings, India did not score high and got the lead for just some runs. Then Bangladesh came to bat again and only one day was left, I was thinking too no chance for a result for this game but the Indian bowlers picked the wickets so quickly and did all out the Bangladesh team at 146 then their batters chased the target easily and won the game.

Jaiswal was the player of this historic match, he was near to his century but the target was chased otherwise I am pretty sure, he would be able to make it to 100.

Anyone watched the Test match between Australia Under-19 and India Under-19 team that was won by the Indian team. This was the 1st unofficial Test that was played in Chennai. I think both teams played a close game but it was India who in the end won by just 2 wickets. These under 19 matches gives us a hint of the promising players that may play for the international side sooner or later.

One of those emerging player is Vaibhav Suryavanshi who made a century in the Indian team first innings. He did this in only 62 balls.
Then we have Mohamed Enaan who has six taken wickets in an innings. From Australian Under 19 team I was impressed with Vishwa Ramkumar. He took 4 wickets in the first innings and 3 wickets in the 2nd innings. Getting 7 wickets in a match is a big confidence booster for him.

India's Under 19s team has won the game against Australia Under 19s at Chennai. It was the first unofficial test match that has owned by India. In the first innings, the team India has not get the lead of many runs, they got the lead of just three. Also their batsmen did not performed good in the second innings but by chance, they won the game otherwise Australia Under 19s team was so close to the win that they could have achieved it. However, hopefully, Australia perform well next time. Australia lacked by just two wickets otherwise they were winning the game and also from the start they were looking strong.

This match was so thrilling and interesting among India Under 19s squad against Australia under 19s squad and both participated on One day competition previously and in this competition, India under 19s squad displayed their best ever strength to Australia under 19s and won this competition with all victory in one day matches. But in unofficial test match, Australia under 19s squad made high burden to India under 19s squad when India under 19s squad frequently lost their wickets in second inning. Australia under 19s squad made many mistakes in their second inning and their squad also managed low scores compare to their previous inning. Just 3 scores had difference among India under 19s squad and Australia under 19s in first inning but middle order batters of Australia under 19s showcased bad performance and did not collect high scores for squad and support them to secure victory. At end of match, India under 19s squad defeated Australia under 19s squad with just two wickets and Australia under 19s lost another match.

For proper Bangladesh Test cricket should be made for two days instead of five days because Bangladesh play two days test is enough and any country can win with Bangladesh in two days. In the first three days of the second Test between Bangladesh and India, the match was stopped due to continuous rain and if two days are available, Bangladesh cannot even draw, then there is no need for Bangladesh to give a five-day test, but two days are enough for Bangladesh.

Bangladesh team is very weak in Test format, this is nothing new. Bangladeshi players have very little patience. And I would say they are not diligent enough. Playing big innings in Test format is a very difficult task for Bangladeshi players. The performance of this team is very erratic.

However, since we saw excellent performances from Bangladeshi players in the two Test matches against Pakistan a few days ago, we expected this series against India to be very competitive as well. But the two matches against India were completely one-sided. The team lost the first match by a big margin. But we all thought that the second match would be a draw. Bangladeshi batsmen batted like stupids.

Yes, you are absolutely right, especially Bangladesh doesn't want to learn anything from the game or even if they learn, they don't have any skills to use it in practice. They could have performed half as well against India as they did against Pakistan.  So what lessons have been learned from Pakistan and I don't see any effect of defeating Pakistan on India for now.
No regrets if Bangladesh loses with India or any other country but if they can correct the mistakes then we will get enough but never possible for Bangladesh to correct those mistakes.  If this continues, at some point the cricket crazy fans of Bangladesh will stop supporting Bangladesh.
