At the beginning of the match, Bangladesh team had a good bowling performance due to which India was under a lot of pressure. After losing 6 wickets, India improved their game and formed a partnership between Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin. These two batsmen batted brilliantly which led India to score big today, scoring 339 runs on the first day, a huge lead for Bangladesh of course. Ravichandran Ashwin has scored 102 runs and is unbeaten, Ravindra Jadeja has scored 86 runs and is on his way to a century and is still unbeaten. However, on the second day, India may build a bigger lead for Bangladesh and if they can score 450 plus, it will be difficult for Bangladesh to meet the target.

There is a high possibility that India will be able to give Bangladesh a target of 450+ runs in the first innings. Because the Indian team still has 4 wickets left. I am hopeful that these remaining batsmen of the Indian team will be able to score 450+ runs. However, after seeing the start of the Indian team's batting on the first day today, I thought they would be forced to end the first innings with a very small score. But with the formation of an extraordinary pair between the two batsmen of the Indian team, all of our ideas were put to rest. I am hopeful that India's great batsman Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja's partnership can go through longer innings.

I thought India was done, and you make stands like this, I mean it wasn't out of context but still kinda unexpected, meanwhile if Jadeja gets to 90s, Ashwin will get probably run-out

I also thought the same after the fall of 6th wickets. I was expecting India to get all out within 200 runs. Surprisingly, they have made a great comeback with the batting of Ashwin and Jadeja. Those bowling all-rounder have key role in the batting while the top orders failed to face Hasan Mahmud bowling attack. India will win the match easily.

I have seen such good performances from Jadeja at the crucial moments of the match in the past. But I didn't think that Ashwin will score a century in this match. After India lost 6 wickets for 144 runs, we thought India's innings would stop at 250. But due to the excellent batting of Jadeja and Ashwin, India has now collected 339 runs. India have already collected 195 runs from this pair. Jadeja is still unbeaten with 86 runs and Ashwin 102 runs. It seems that India will collect more than 400 in the first innings itself.

Even if they win the Test match against Pakistan, the Bangladesh team will probably not be able to win against India. Had India lost all wickets before 300, Bangladesh had the potential to take a decent lead. But if India collect 400+ it will be difficult for Bangladesh to take the lead. Even if the Bangladesh team faces a batting disaster, I will not be surprised.

And guess what! You are wrong and the Ravichandran Ashwin make the century before Ravindra Jadeja their score is now 86 run from Ravindra Jadeja and 102 run from Ravichandran Ashwin. I will call these two man is the life saver for the Indian team because the way Indian top ordered batsmen failed today it is really true that if Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin had not taken control of the match then it is very likely that they would have been all out within 200 runs.

Anyway, Pakistan and Indian team are not the same strong teams, so we should not compare them, although Bangladesh team is a bit confident by performing well against Pakistan, but I think that the batting lineup of Bangladeshi team will be weak in front of India's strong bowling line up.

India were playing so poor and losing their wickets back to back, I was looking at Sri Lanka to win the game very easily as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma out after making less than 10 runs each till Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja have not played a great innings. Ravichandran Ashwin made a century, his role is not batsmen, he is an bowling all rounder but still he lead the team India put the pressure back on the Bangladesh team. Ravindra Jadeja is also near to his century, I hope he will make his century tomorrow as he is batting on 86 today as well. Doing good batting 

I would say great comeback for India team. Where the team's top batsmen are struggling, but the bowlers and have done the job of top batsman and I think they are definitely successful in India's current position. Ravichandran Ashwin got the century and Ravindra Jadeja may get a century tomorrow. These two batsmen are set on the pitch. It is expected that the Indian team will be able to proceed with the target score that was supposed to be at the beginning of this match. If the target is big then it will be difficult for the Bangladesh team to chase that target because the team has Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Ravichandran Ashwin definitely they are prominent figure in bowling side. It will not be easy to get runs from these bowlers.

Bangladesh won the captain's toss and took the fielding decision. The Bangladeshi bowlers started the innings well. India team lost three wickets to collect only 34 runs, experienced batsmen of the top order could not bat well. Yashasvi Jaiswal returned to the dressing room with 56 runs and Rishab Pant 39 runs. And now at the crease. Aswin and Jadeja. India's current collection is 176/6. But both Ashwin and Jadeja have the ability to play big innings. So if the Bangladeshi bowlers can't bowl well and break this pair, I won't be surprised at all if India collect more than 350. We have seen many big innings from Jadeja in the past.

Your guess is going to be right. Although India did not start the innings well, the team is now in a very good position. Jadeja and Ashwin are batting very responsibly today.

India lost the wicket of KL Rahul for 144 runs. And now India's collection is 224 runs. India team has already collected 80 runs from Ashwin-Jadeja pair. Jadeja remained unbeaten on 32 runs and Ashwin on 47 runs. Bangladeshi bowlers will have to try to break this pair quickly. Otherwise, India will collect big in the first innings itself. And in the current position India is in, it is not difficult for India to score 300 runs.

Even at the end of the first day, the Bangladeshi bowlers could not break the pair of Jadeja and Ashwin. And the Indian team managed to collect 339 runs with the loss of 6 wickets on the first day. My prediction was correct. Ashwin has already scored a century. On the other hand, Jadeja is unbeaten with 86 runs. If the Bangladeshi bowlers don't do well in the early days, this team will collect 420+. But if Bangladesh can break this pair at the beginning of the day, then probably India's innings will not be too long. Bangladeshi bowlers will have to try their best to break this pair within the first 10 overs.

Well, well, well. Jaddu and Ash save the day yet again. These two helped India win a gazillion tests thanks to their sensational bowling and batting combos which is why it's great to see them scoring centuries(Jadeja soon).

India will probably end up winning this first test by an innings at the rate at which they are going. Also, Hasan was brilliant with the ball.

India will probably win but by an innings is just exaggeration, I don't think Bangladesh won't go without putting their fight especially after winning 2 matches against Pak cause their confidence will be high and they also got decent batting unit and all they need to do play for their advantages. And predicting the result of a test match at the end of day 1 itself is just being too desperate, the beauty of the game is it can turn around at any moment especially if it goes to day 4 and 5.

[doomloop]

Day 1 is over and tomorrow will be the second day of 1st test match between Sri Lanka and New Zealand. Match will be difficult for both teams because we saw many times, a team which played well in first inning they lose the rhythm in second inning and they lose the match. But now Sri Lanka is in good condition and they can hit good score on board and we can see interesting match . New Zealand batters have to play well in this match if they want to win this match. Bowlers could not stop Sri Lankan batters at low score but now New Zealand batters have time to handle this situation,if they handled this situation,they will be successful in this match.I think Sri Lanka team will lose last three wickets very easily and we will see good match and after that New Zealand batters will play well and they will lead in this match.

Yes both teams are tough competitor and both have good reputation in international cricket. 1 st of 1 st test game was over yesterday and today 2 nd day will be play. Sri Lanka team won the toss and got a chance to take first bat or bowl and Sri Lanka team elected bat first and gave bowl opportunity to new Zealand team. Sri Lanka team effort in 1 st day was going very well and they grabbed 302 runs in 88 overs by losing 7 wickets. Opener batsman Nissanka and Dimuth both were dismissed and did not grab good runs Nissanka is a good player but they failed to perform well in 1 st lineup. Mendis played very great in batting and he made a brilliant century helped team to score 300+ runs and still they 3 more wickets to play and if sri Lanka batsman will succeed to make 400+ runs then New Zealand team encounter difficulties to chase the runs but we don't underestimate the effort of New Zealand team. Let's see what happen in next days..

I do not agree about this part as both are tough teams and good competitors because India is ranked no 1 team in test format and Bangladesh is having just first test win against all time unpredictable Pakistan so after just one win we can't tag them as best team they are now going to have good lessons from here as today in first session they have done good job but after this we have batting from one of the most deadly duo of test cricket take charge and give them good punishment.

From 144 to 6 and now 339 to 6 mean India is in business, and they are going to be had upper hand with 400+ could be enough for them to win this game without any serious resistance from the Bangla tigers Chennai boy score his sixth test hundred and bring himself in limelight again 38 years old having his last few months in cricket but still giving his best is amazing from this man.

India Vs Bangladesh

After a successful tour to Pakistan now Bangladesh is touring in India and they have two series. First is Test series which will be Starting today. After that they will play T20I series.
Bangladesh won the test series from Pakistan but this is India team so they are Very strong and I don't think so that Bangladesh will beat India team. This is cricket and we know that is unacceptable but still I am looking that India is much stronger as compare to Bangladesh team. So I think India will win both series. But this is too early to say this but we can guess. So let's see what India will do in this series.?

It's true that Bangladesh team really improve their structure and strength after several failure and we have seen thier recent performances against Pakistan where they white wash them and that's where they get momentum and that effects we have seen in against India in early stage of the match where they took indian top 4 important batter like Rohit, Kohli, pant, gill on a very minor contribution to the total board and later they get some more that and to be honest at that time I taught we will have again same results like against Pakistan because most of thier vital and game changer batter has gone but out of no where they way Ashwin and jadeja took responsibility and unexpectedly scored a very huge partnership with a century from Ashwin and soon jadeja will does same that really Indian team a rivial hope they will continue it long and will took 400 around lead.

I mentioned that the olds were indeed worth gold. Jaddu and Ash taught us how to get out of bad situations today using the experience of the ancients. If these legendary all-rounders could not extend this innings, India would have ended the innings long ago.
Hasan Mahmood certainly deserves credit as he managed to get four batsmen out brilliantly early on.  But later Jaddu and Ash performed the duties of the team hard, Bangladesh could not take any more wickets.

There was Pakistan and now India ahead and India is playing very well at this time. Because we can see they have made 339 runs and lost 6 wickets. But I am looking on the score card and looking that some legends of Indian team got out earlier means if Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja don't play their role so India could not go above 300 runs.
By the way I like the bowling of Bangladesh team. By looking on bowling performance we can say that Bangladesh can give tough time to India. So today is the second day so let's see what will both teams do.?

Bangladesh bowled well in the beginning. Hasan Mahmud in particular was aggressive at the start. When India lost 6 wickets for 144 runs I thought India would not score 250+ runs. But Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja both performed brilliantly to take the team to a good position. The two put on a massive partnership of 195 runs, which saw India score 339. Shakib Al Hasan, one of the best all-rounders in Bangladesh, has not been able to perform well in bowling. He gave home 6+ runs per over, taking no wickets with 50 runs in 8 overs. Anyway Bangladeshi bowlers need to bowl well today, India need to get all out quickly. Let's see how many runs India can lead.

[JSRAW]

Bangladesh must regroup and consider their line and length against this pair. The new ball is due and the morning pitch will provide enough moisture for a ball to talk.

Jaddu has a long history of throwing his wicket when he comes back as an overnight not-out batter and he's also in his nervous 90s so Bangbros need to build pressure on him from both ends.

From an Indian perspective, they will look to bat as long as possible. Ideally, they would be hoping to bat for 2 full sessions but IMO even 1 session would be enough to add some more runs, given Bangbros keep up with the over rate, they were horrible yesterday.

[Bitcoin_people]

The partnership between Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja was great, I thought they would play well on the second day but they fell apart. With Ravindra Jadeja out at the moment, it may not be possible for India to collect the 400-run milestone. Although I thought the big one would score a mile today but it might not be possible as the pair broke down as they have already lost eight wickets. As Ravichandran Ashwin is still at the crease he will try to do better for the team, he collected 112 runs, India scored 371 for the loss of 8 wickets I think they will be all out soon.

India lost wickets at a rapid pace at the start of the first day as well. And even at the start of the second day, the Indian batsmen did not play well. India lost the wickets of Jadeja and Ashwin very quickly. And at the end of the first innings, India collected 376 runs. This is a good enough collection. And the way India started their innings, it was very difficult for them to score 300+ runs. With the help of Jadeja's 86 and Ashwin's 112, India made a huge total of 376.

As usual Bangladesh lost wickets very quickly. Bangladesh team lost the wicket of Shadman to collect 2 runs. I am not at all surprised by the erratic batting of Bangladesh's batsmen. Rather, we often see such irregular batting from Bangladeshi batsmen. Rather, we are now surprised when Bangladeshi batsmen bat well.

[Popkon6]

Sadman Islam of Bangladesh team he got out in the first over, but Sadman Islam should have been patient in the first over. No doubt Bhomra threw every ball straight at the stumps, Sadman Islam should have hit this ball away. Sadman Islam's dismissal has left the Bangladesh team under pressure, as they have to keep wickets for long periods of time in Test matches. Now Nazmul Hasan Shanto and Zakir Hasan have formed a partnership, if they can collect runs for a long time by forming a partnership, then Bangladesh can win in this first innings today. India team has collected 376 runs, this is a big target for Bangladesh team, to meet the target of 376 runs, Bangladesh team must have a batting performance with the team.

Bangladesh scored 26 runs for three wickets in nine overs, losing wickets is the most dangerous and threatening for the Bangladesh team. If they lose wickets in this way, the Bangladesh team will be forced to be all out in today's first innings. But I don't see any difference in the players of Bangladesh team, because Bangladesh is ready to fight with this same squad in T20 which is in test match, that's why Bangladesh team lacks reliable players in the squad.  Test matches usually require a calm and patient player, which the Bangladesh squad does not have. If the players of today's test match lose wickets like this, they will never be able to meet the target of 376 runs, just as the Bangladesh team showed a surprise in the beginning of the bowling, the Indian team also showed such a surprise in the batting of the Bangladesh team. But the players of the Indian team have been able to perform batting in a patient manner, but in the squad of the Bangladesh team, we cannot find a place for such a patient player like the Indian team.

[Out of mind]

India finished with 376 runs on the second day, Bangladesh, although batting today, they were disappointed at the start. Mushfiqur Rahim and Najmul Hossain Shanto who are batting well are out due to which Bangladesh's runs are very short, after these two players out the match depended a lot on Litton Das, but he is also out. Since Litton Das is out Bangladesh lost 6 wickets now they don't have good batting, but they are going to be all out very soon in today's match, Bangladesh's game is not improving in batting so unable to meet the target given by India today.

[Haunebu]

India will probably win but by an innings is just exaggeration, I don't think Bangladesh won't go without putting their fight especially after winning 2 matches against Pak cause their confidence will be high and they also got decent batting unit and all they need to do play for their advantages. And predicting the result of a test match at the end of day 1 itself is just being too desperate, the beauty of the game is it can turn around at any moment especially if it goes to day 4 and 5.

92/6 : You were saying? You do realise that India is a completely different beast when compared to Pakistan especially on their turf, don't you? Also, they have Bumrah, Ashwin and Jadeja in their ranks.

Expecting Bangladesh to not lose by an innings in this match would actually be an understatement. Think!

[JSRAW]

I was hoping for some grind, at least from the in-form middle order but it's becoming too easy, now Bangladesh should consider them lucky to win a toss and opt to ball first otherwise on the first day deck it would've been a nightmare against Indian bowlers.

An innings win would've been nice if India had been batting second, but I want India to bat again. The Indian top order could use some game time and they need it badly.
