Yes, You are right Now win possibility decrease to 0.6% only because Bangladesh loss their 4 key wickets in just 158 runs. Bangladesh openers playing very aggressive but the partnership break at 62 runs. Ravichandran Ashwin Spin bowling performance is outstanding picked 3 important wickets. Bangladesh needs 357 runs to win this match which is very difficult task against the top class bowling line. Najmul Hossain Shanto captain of Bangladesh team playing well so far scored a half century and still playing at 51 runs and shakib al hasan also at carees. This partnership between shakib al hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto will be very crucial for Bangladesh if they want to fight till the end.

First of all, this squad of Bangladesh was never good in Test format. We have always seen poor performances from Bangladeshi players in the Test format. Even though the match was Bangladesh's home match, Bangladesh had the potential to do well. It is very difficult for Bangladesh to perform well in India's home matches.

Bangladesh gave a big surprise by winning both matches in the Test series against Pakistan. We were all very surprised at this result. But the same thing is unlikely to happen again against India. India team is strong and players are very experienced. So Bangladesh was likely to be defeated by a big margin.

Almost any condition of the Bangladesh team, the opening pair of batsmen are out. But now the balance of the Bangladesh team depends on Nazmul Hasan Shanto and Mominul Haque these two batsmen, although Azmul Hasan Shanto did not perform well in the first innings but the fans of Bangladesh are hopeful for him in this match. If the Bangladesh team can give some good runs, then the Bangladesh team will be able to go ahead, although the batsmen of the Bangladesh team failed by collecting few songs in the first match, but there are enough opportunities in this match. Although Bangladesh will have to chase the highest water score, Bangladesh team must be patient if they can get close to winning this match.

Yep still Bangladesh has handsome chance to be in the game but in my view they has to played very sensible and scored a impactful partnership at least 200 around as they has required more than 300 at current and they already lose their top order too and middle order has to do something unexpected otherwise it will be an easy victory for Indian team and may be possibly that victory shifts momentum from Bangladesh hands which they get from white wash series victory against Pakistan and they will be pushed into his previous awful form. Better things for Indian team in that match is that one of gem finally back in form and score his century after a long time. So let's see how Bangladesh makes difficult or some how impossible things into possible.

So let's see how Bangladesh makes difficult or some how impossible things into possible.

It is never possible for Bangladesh to form a big partnership as they have already lost four important wickets. It is sure that Bangladesh will be defeated by a huge margin if they cannot form a partnership like Gill and Panth. Shakib Al Hasan and Nazmul Hasan Shanto are unbeaten on the wicket so far, so unless a big partnership is formed between them, it is a sure thing that they will be all out in the first session in Bangladesh. The lower order batsmen can take Bangladesh to 10 to overs if they are very strong so there is no chance for Bangladesh to win or draw this match.

[Popkon6]

Bangladesh team does not have patient players in their squad, then how will they build a partnership, if players like Mominul Haque and Mushfiqur Rahman get out after collecting only 13 runs, then how will Bangladesh win. Bangladesh team is never able to perform well in such difficult conditions, although Nazmul Hasan Shanto and Shakib Al Hasan have formed a partnership at the last minute. But the players who are in the latter are basically not good at batting, so how can we still chase this huge target and expect to win? 

Mominul Haque and Mushfiqur Rahim are two experienced players, but it was mainly because of their outs that this match became the most feared. Right now Bangladesh team has collected 158 runs for 4 wickets in exchange. Bangladesh team still needs to meet the target of 357 runs to win, I don't expect such a game from Bangladesh team players at all. Because the victory of this game is uncertain for Bangladesh.

Bangladesh team has lost relatively more wickets, which is true they are in danger now. The batsmen are under a lot of pressure from the current partnership, a healthy normal player falters even in such stressful moments. As Nazmul Hasan Shanto and Shakib Al Hasan have formed a partnership currently, but Nazmul Hasan Shanto has performed for a long time and scored a half-century. However, Shakib Al Hasan has entered the batting for a short time, but if the partnership of these two develops, the Bangladesh team can get some runs ahead, because this is the last strong partnership, the next batsmen will not be able to perform well. If this partnership collapses, Bangladesh will lose by the biggest margin.

India gave a big target to them so when there is a big target ahead so this also make a big impact on team. Means it makes a lot pressure on team because the players also think this is a big target they can't chase it which decrease the self confidence and lead to the loss. So this is exact happening with Bangladesh team. They have lost 4 wickets and they have a big score to make still. If they want to win so they need 357 runs. Which is looking impossible. So let's see what they will do?

[Sithara007]

What is the point in having one-sided matches such as this one? No one benefits when India plays against Bangladesh, or when Australia plays against Sri Lanka. The gap between pig-3 and the rest of the tier-1 teams is huge, at least when it comes to test cricket. Test matches such as the ongoing one only benefits players who want to spike their test stats. And this is the reason why I believe that the ICC World Test Championship is a flawed concept. It forces stronger teams to play against weaker teams, resulting in lop-sided matches.

[Learn Bitcoin]

It's highly improbable for Bangladesh to draw or win a test against the Indians in their own backyard stastically speaking, but they will push them out of their comfort zone as we have seen in the Indian first innings.

Bangladesh have come a long way in the test format and they might win a test against India, but that will probably happen in the far off future.

True. I agree with that.
But as a fan of your country team, you can expect your team to play better than before and at least put some fight in the match. Is it something disrespectful or daydreaming? We, as supporters of our country, surely expect something better and support our team. But some of our Indian friends insult saying don't dream, don't be a fool, etc etc, which is totally disrespectful. Every country has its supporters who even fly to different countries to support their team, no matter how strong the opponent is. Otherwise, you won't see Kenya supporters when they play against stronger teams.

Day 04 of the test match has started. Shakib Al Hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto have started cautiously and that is what is required from them. But the task ahead of them is very big. It is not a matter of the Bangladesh team surviving for a session or two and the test match would be saved, they have to play the whole 2 days if they want to save this match and this is impossible.

Well, the only benefits India get here are the important points for the ICC World Test Championship and maybe some match practice. Also when you win, the players and team get the incentives and prize money

So let's see what they will do?

You are correct. The chances of a team like Bangladesh chasing such huge runs and winning with their top 4 wickets already out is very low. Now the fourth day's play will begin and Shakib is still alive and has scored 16 runs in the last 43 balls and Shanto has scored 52 runs off 79 balls. In fact, the whole match looked like a game of unevenness and India played a positive game every time and were in good rhythm. Bangladesh team lacks confidence and they are not strong mentally but they are trying.

Now it seems that the chances of losing are high for the Bangladesh team as most of their batsmen are not of a fighting spirit and they lack experience. However, as an emerging team, Bangladesh team has a lot of potential and if they can increase their regular tournament play with foreign teams, their team can be very prosperous.

[As-Soon-As]

Bangladesh team will definitely lose this match, because the batsmen of Bangladesh are not very efficient. Because the Bangladesh team lost this match so badly and the run margin is very high. Now these two batsmen Nahid Rana and Hasan Mahmood are in partnership but they are basically independent. Batting performance cannot be depended on them at all, as they are more skilled at bowling. The Bangladesh team lost by a wide margin due to the four batsmen of Liton Das, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mominul Haque. Although it was difficult for the Bangladesh team to chase the target of so many runs, but they could have created a small margin and with a patient batting performance, there was definitely a chance of winning. But the performance in the first innings was very bad and the batting performance in the second innings was also bad due to which the Bangladesh team was bound to lose.

The match ended on the fourth day itself. And the Bangladesh team was defeated by a huge margin of 280 runs. It was not possible for Bangladesh to win the match against India. However, the Bangladeshi players could have reduced the severity of the defeat. But the Bangladesh team was defeated by a big margin due to bad batting.

Indian batsmen could not bat well in the first innings. The match would have been competitive if the Bangladeshi batsmen could have done a bit better. But Bangladesh's collection in the first innings was only 149 runs. In the second innings too, as usual, we saw bad batting by the Bangladeshi players. Bangladesh's innings stopped at 234 runs. Captain Shanto collected the maximum 82 runs for Bangladesh.

Ashwin played brilliantly in this match. He scored a century in the first innings when the team needed it. Also bowled very well in the second innings. Ashwin took 6 wickets in the second innings giving 88 runs.

Unbelievable win for the Indian team, i know they will win in the end but did not thought that they would finish the the game so early on the 4th day. When the first innings was in progress, I was looking for Bangladesh to win this game but incredible performance by their team in the second innings and also in the first innings, lead India through the win.



At the start of the game, Bangladesh were very happy as they were going to win but their hardluck lost the game. In the second innings, Bangladesh bowlers also destroyed Indian backbone except Shubman Gill but still Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma lost at the start by Inida due to Bangladesh bowlers but no advantage for Bangladesh because they eventually lost the match.

How will the players of Bangladesh team reduce the number of losses in this match, because they are inexperienced batsmen. But only Nazmul Hasan Shanta has given a good batting performance but the rest have performed very poorly. Although the bowling performance was good in the first innings and the second innings, the batting performance was not good. 
How will they perform the way they performed in the T20, they performed like this in the Test match, they need patient players to play Test matches but I don't see such patient players in the Bangladesh team.

Although there was a small target for the Bangladesh team in the first innings but they were bowled out for 149 runs, and the biggest target in the second innings was the biggest target for the Bangladesh team to lose here. I think he is a failed captain in Nazmul Hasan's duties as a calm captain for Test matches, because he must give direction on how to experience the batsmen.

It was indeed an incredible win for India as they managed to beat Bangladesh by a huge margin in the first Test match.India's spin all-rounder Ravichandra Ashwin has to be given full credit for defeating Bangladesh. He and Ravindra Jadeja combined to help the Indian team score a lot of runs in the first innings. In this match, Ravichandran Ashwin has shown his skill in batting as well as he has performed well in bowling.

Moreover, we can see that Bangladesh's bowlers are performing fairly well but their batsmen are failing completely at present. No one has a tendency to play patiently and carefully. The Bangladeshi batsmen batting seemed to be under pressure and unable to come out of their shells. In many games of Bangladesh, the main problem of Bangladesh is that if they play well in one innings, they play badly in the next innings against the big teams. There is no player in the Bangladesh team whose mentality is strong enough to even bring the team out of danger.

As @JSRAW says, Chadwin did it yet again with both the bat and ball in this test. Century plus 6 wickets is legendary stuff. Proper gigachad indeed.

Is it something disrespectful or daydreaming? We, as supporters of our country, surely expect something better and support our team. But some of our Indian friends insult saying don't dream, don't be a fool, etc etc, which is totally disrespectful. Every country has its supporters who even fly to different countries to support their team, no matter how strong the opponent is. Otherwise, you won't see Kenya supporters when they play against stronger teams.

Nah. It isn't disrespectful at all and they need to get their heads checked if they think that way especially after they defeated Pakistan in their own backyard so convincingly just sometime earlier.

The New Zealand team is batting on the fourth day and they are batting brilliantly to chase down the target given by Sri Lanka. But currently as they have lost two wickets breaking the opening two Sri Lankan team their bowling performance is good. If Sri Lanka team can pressure New Zealand team in today's match then surely they will lose wickets and most likely to lose the match under pressure. Although right now New Zealand need to collect 208 runs although it is possible still there are enough wickets if they can play well and patiently then New Zealand can be expected to win this match against Sri Lanka today.

It would be unfair if we talked about the Indian win and did not discuss one of the talented batsman, Pant. After a long time, Pant played a match for the Indian team in a test match. Last time, when he played in 2022 December against Bangladesh too and he is back in this series against Bangladesh.

Pant back and fire the runs. In the first innings, Pant did not score high and was out early, but in the second innings he performed well and completed a century that helps very much to the Indian team to be confident and raised hopes that they could come back in this match, and they did. He has not played a match for many months because he had a car accident.

Test game is basically a partnership game, if you can make a good partnership here, the result of the match will definitely change. An entire session of play has been left out so far but New Zealand need to muster just 160 runs. A short partnership between Rachin Ravindra and Tom Blundell after the fall of the fourth wicket for 96 runs but if the pair can last, New Zealand will surely have a better chance of victory.

Pant is undoubtedly a talented player and he batted well in the first and second innings, scoring 39 runs off 52 balls in the first innings and scoring 109 runs off 128 balls in the second innings. Subman Gill was also unbeaten on 128 off 176 balls in the second innings. I think the whole India team played very well and there are many talented players in the team. They also bowled well as in the second innings Ashwin bowled 21 overs and took 6 wickets with 88 runs and Jadeja took 3 wickets with 58 runs in 15.1 overs. In fact, Indian team is very aggressive in every format of cricket and they have the ability to beat every team in the world. Bangladesh team is far behind India in Test ranking and currently India is number one in Test ranking.
