According to cricinfo, in the first day of the test match between Bangladesh and India we found a story here. A Bangladeshi fan whose name is Robi. He was not feeling good due to his heart condition. The security took him through the hospital and he said, Indian fans hurt him but later he changed his words and said he is sick dehydrated.

Many people in the ground said he argued with the Indian fans and they pushed him and also took his flag meanwhile they does not allow Bangladesh fans to support his country. But the police were saying there was no fight. I don’t know why Robi changed his statement, but I think he changed this due to pressure on him. By the way, some people on the ground don’t want to see Bangladesh people there and hurt them because as they know there are many problems faced by Bangladesh in politics.

Zakir didn't score any runs but he got off to a good start. He tried to play very carefully. But due to lack of experience, he could not survive at the crease. He was very patient. I hope if Zakir is diligent then he will become one of the most important players in Bangladesh team. We will see better performance from Zakir in future.

I don't understand how Zakir Hasan performed well in this match, that's why I couldn't agree with you. Played 24 balls but couldn't get a run how patiently it performed, but you notice the 3 runs in the first innings of the first match, and the 33 runs in the second innings. And if he collects 0 runs in the first innings in the second match, if he does not perform well in this difficult situation of Bangladesh, then how will he perform well later?

Many other batsmen including Zakir Hasan have performed poorly, Bangladesh team has the most batting weakness in the squad. Shakib Al Hasan he has been performing in the game of cricket for a long time and he has not performed well, Mushfiqur Rahim and Liton Das each have such a bad record. So if they can perform well in this match then there will definitely be a possibility to draw the test match. Because as this second match is taking place only rain is being fought, rain has become the biggest obstacle of Bangladesh team till now Tiger batsmen of Bangladesh team could not enter the field. However, we expect a good run rate for Bangladesh team from the batsmen Mominul Haque and Mushfiqur Rahim who are currently at the crease as they are very experienced among the batsmen.

Not only Zakir Hasan but Bangladesh's squad is not fit to play Tests but they are fine till ODIs and T20s. Maybe Zakir Hasan played a little bit well in Bangladesh's test cricket in the beginning but in recent times his performance is not good but he is seen to perform poorly in most of the matches. Mominul Haque performed well in Tests in the beginning but now Mominul Haque is performing very poorly. Bangladesh are not really in Test mode, but when they start playing Tests, the nerves are on edge and if there is a batting disaster, wickets fall in quick succession, which has become a regular pattern for Bangladesh.

The Sri Lankan team continues to play so well that teams like New Zealand are getting badly all out with them. We have seen New Zealand batting for 88 runs against Sri Lanka in the first innings which was really a disappointing batting performance by them. I think New Zealand team might lose badly in this test match and also they will not be able to cope with Sri Lanka team Sri Lanka team has improved a lot. In the second innings New Zealand team collected 199 runs losing 5 wickets and to reach the target of Sri Lanka team collected in the first innings New Zealand still need to collect 315 runs, I think New Zealand will be all out before collecting these runs.

The New Zealand team has been performing badly this season as they lost all wickets for just 88 runs in the first innings. But in comparison the Sri Lankan team is performing very well, so far in the second innings they have collected 199 runs for five wickets in 41 overs. 
Losing five wickets on the first day of the second innings is the biggest weakness for the New Zealand team as they fail to play patiently while protecting their wickets. Now all the batting is not experienced in terms of batting, the aggressive batsmen are out so the New Zealand team will fail to fulfill the lead run given by Sri Lanka in the third innings. Still, New Zealand's score of 315 will tie the match, and there is a high chance of losing all out before the 315-run target is met.

New Zealand is still trailing by 315 runs. Remember that they don't need 315 runs to win this match. They need 315 runs just to avoid the follow on, as Sri Lanka has one more innings remaining. This has to be the most disastrous performance in test match from the Kiwis during the last 4-5 years. I can understand that they are playing under hostile conditions, and some of the main players are not available. But it is not the excuse you would give, when you get bowled out for just 88 runs, chasing a massive total of 602/5 set by Sri Lanka.

Being bowled out for 88 runs, New Zealand could not avoid the follow-on, batting in the second innings for the second time, given the conditions of the match so far, New Zealand will be bowled out in the first session on the fourth day. We can't imagine that a team like New Zealand would be miserably all out against Sri Lanka.  Prabath Jayasuriya single-handedly upset New Zealand in the first innings and was enough for 88 all out. But it is a 100% guarantee that New Zealand will lose this Test too and the series will be whitewashed by 2-0.
