Start of the next day pitch will decide how things will be, either batsman can make runs or pitch suitable for ballers.
Till now Things are in favour of ballers but margin of runs is the main problem for Bangladesh.

The pitch is helping the spinners and Bangladesh does have a good attack and if the total were above 200 runs then i would certainly place a bet on Bangladesh to win the match. The right handed batsman were struggling and the Indian top order is gone, looks like the left handed batsman were able to overcome the angle of spin and they still have left handed batsman in Axar Patel who is still in the crease and Rishabh Pant who could take the team home without further damage.

100 runs seem like a tightrope walk for such a small target. On a turning track, the Indian top order lacked focus and determination, as well as the ability to negotiate spin. Foreign pitches used to pose a challenge to Indian batsmen once upon a time. This match deserves to be won by Bangladesh. I am not quite hopeful, but let's wait for tomorrow.

A simple equation can be difficult as India lost four wickets early in the 2nd Innings. But I am also optimistic now if India can hold the wickets then it would be very easy to collect 100. India's top batsmen were defeated by just 45 runs. The fear increased in the team. India will be at big risk tomorrow if they lose 1 or 2 more wickets early. India may even lose. The pitch condition at Mirpur Stadium is not very favorable so anything can happen. But scoring 100 is not difficult if they have wickets in hand.

Bangladesh will not win this match as i am sure 100 runs is not a big score and India's remaining batsmen just need one partnership and the game is over.

However, when you are playing against small teams, it is not only about winning, it is about winning convincingly and I am afraid India is far behind in this. How can they lose top 4 batsmen at the score of 45 ?

KL Rahul scored 2 runs and Virat Kholi scored 1 runs. What is wrong with them

KL Rahul scored 2 runs and Virat Kholi scored 1 runs. What is wrong with them 

Indian batting lineup still two renowned batsman Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer are waiting. They are quite experienced in how to play in disastrous matches. Moreover, these two batsmen scored the highest in the 1st innings of the 2nd Test. They must act as a trust in that reliable place. On the other hand if Axar Patel can extend his batting then India will have no fear. They can win this test too on the basis of heroism. Even in the current condition of the match, I will keep India ahead.

[Mahdirakib]

Hope selectors watching KL Rahul. In this form, he shouldn't be in the team for the upcoming BGT.

What about Virat Kohli? His performance has dropped significantly in test format now. He has played in 6 test matches in this year and scored only 265 runs. India team selectors should give chance to the new players now who have much potential in test format.
India need 100 runs only to win the match. But the match is in critical position now. It could be difficult for India to chase the target if they lose 2-3 early wickets tomorrow.

Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer is playing better than India experienced and polished batan like Virat Kohli.  Virat kohli performance is going on a disastrous end  he's not performing at all. Now I think selectors have to think about his role in world cup and Asia Cup , same Is with KL Rahul whose presence is a question for many.

Not sure why Unadkat was sent early and also Patel. The management again experimenting new batting order. Kohli this time was out for just 1 run.

Unadkat came as a night watchman and Patel was there for left-right combination. This combination works in favor of the batting side as in this case bowler has to fix his line length constantly.
Tbh Axar and Unadkat looked much better players of spin than the Top 4. There was a time when Indian batters used to be good players of spin, now look at this top order against spin, seriously what a downfall.

I hope this combination works in favour for India. If it doesn't then we might see a good amount of pressure going onto Iyer and Panth. They looked quite impressive last time but who knows what might happen this time. I am pissed with KL Rahul, he is struggling in every format of cricket. This time the new selectors need to look into his performance as a batter.

Do you guys see a chance for Bangladesh to win this test match? I don’t see any even though Bangladesh is in a position where they can actually win. If Bangladesh had one or two very good fast bowlers in the team, I would have said that Bangladesh has a chance. But right now Bangladesh is heavily relying on spin bowling. So even if Bangladesh can get a few wickets at the start of the next day, I don’t think they will be able to pick up six wickets when India only needs 100 more runs to win. And, we can see that once you can get set, you can score freely. Axar Patel has shown that.

At the end of the day, India mustered only 45 and lost four wickets. Not only did Virat Kohli perform badly, India's top order failed completely. Bangladesh cannot give a big target. Even then, India batted badly. I thought India would reach the target by losing 2/3 wickets. But now it is challenging for them to win the match. If Iyer and Pant do not play well then India will lose this match. Batting in the first session is very difficult. Indian players have to play very carefully.

100 runs chase is nothing India will do it easily as they have 6 wickets in hand , they'll somehow cover that. But the main discussion is the performance of the openers and players except Sheyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant who are saving India recently.
Test format is getting difficult for players after frequent T20 matches.

Bangladesh didn't bat well but in the last season they had managed to ball well. Though 100 run isn't big deal for India but they have pressure because they have lost 4 wickets already. Pant and Iyer can change the game movement anytime but Bangladeshi bowlers like Miraz and Shakib will try to give their best to comeback in this match.

With the early wicket fall Bangladesh have got an opportunity to make a comeback into the match. However Indian batsman will have the control over the match as Unadkat and Patel are on the crease. More batsmen Iyer, Pant, Ashwin are yet to come. For now the easy win of India is bit delayed due to the early wicket fall.

Really upset with the batting of Indian top order now it's time for the changes in this format as well because things are looking not good if they are going down against Bangladesh then surely things could be tricky against top ranks teams as well which is not acceptable while you are fighting for the place into WTC final2023 45/4 mean now we have 100 runs and six wickets remaining which could be not easy but most chances this partnership could be vital for the India if they want to win this test match and series if these able to stay for the few overs, and we will have 35 to 40 runs then surely positive result will be happened for India otherwise they can lose this test match, and we will be ending this series as draw which could be big below.

Even India is on front seat of this test match, but they are playing fourth inning and target is still 100 mean we need nearly 35 to 40 overs and anything can happen Mahdi Miraz and Tajul both are doing amazing stuff after removing top order now things looking good for these two even Pant and Iyer both are in dressing room but one or two quick wickets can bring India down and things could be more crucial for them in second Inning Indian bowling was also not good with they can be done better here now hopefully tomorrow we will be watch a full session with full of entertaining and end of this series on high note for both teams.

Bangladesh could be happy as now they have good batsman at the top who could be better after few matches and have more experience in near future.

[teosanru]

India lost 4 wickets, surprising to see India's performance in this innings. Obviously conditions have changed too much from India's previous innings batting but still not that much which could impact your elite level top order. The night watchmen Axar was sent. For the first time in this series it looks as if Bangladesh actually have a chance of winning the match otherwise it has always looked like a one sided affair.

[n0ne]

India lost 4 wickets, surprising to see India's performance in this innings.

In most of the test matches, during the fourth innings the pitch used to change drastically. This change could turn the match. Now the fall of wickets will boost the Bangladesh players to perform better than the previous innings. India have got more powerful players, and the same makes India strong amidst the performance from Bangladesh.

[Shaha98]

India lost 4 wickets, surprising to see India's performance in this innings.

100 runs are needed and the Indian team has only six wickets and the Indian team is in controversy because it is in the Mirpur field.  India are in despair after losing four batsmen at the end of the third day.  Even though only 100 runs are needed, India is worried about this because Virat Kohli's team is on the Mirpur pitch.  However, the Indian team thinks that if only one batsman gets a run, we will win. However, Virat Kohli is in a critical condition, but Bangladesh is strong in the Mirpur field.  But in this case, we think Indians can win because the wicket is not too dangerous, if they survive one seems to be enough.

[Sithara007]

I still believe that India is going to win. Two of the in-form batsmen are to come next (Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer), and the lower order is in good form with the bat. That said, I don't know for how long Jaydev Unadkat will be able to survive. He looked shaky out there, with Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Shakib Al Hasan constantly troubling the Indian batsmen. It is just 100 runs more, but given the tricky conditions at Mirpur, nothing is guaranteed. If by somehow India loses, then they will face a lot of criticism and change to selection policy.

[Shaha98]

In the first innings of this Dhaka Test, Virat Kohli became a victim of Taskin Hasan at the Mirpur ground as he scored 24 runs in the first innings.  Former captain Virat Kohli also failed in the second innings because he lost his temper and left the field after getting out.  Late on Saturday afternoon, Mehdi Hasan got confused by Miraj's spin ball.  Virat Kohli got out and left the field after roughing Mejas.  On the third day, Virat Kohli was caught by Mominul Haque in Mehdi Meraj's 20th over. Virat Kohli scored 1 run off just 22 balls.  That's why Virat Kohli left the field after losing his temper with the Bangladeshi players.

[BobK71]

It is unusual to expect Bangladesh to win in these conditions. 100 runs is not much. But when 4 wickets fall for 45 runs, any team can have some hope. 26 out of 45 runs by Axar Patel. So the remaining four wickets lost by how many runs? If you think from this side, Bangladesh is ahead. But the pitch conditions were at the end of the day, hopefully it will not be the same at the beginning of the day. India will easily win this match. If Axar Patel, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer one of them stay on pitch, winning this match can be very simple.
