Bangladesh’s never-say-die attitude was on full display on Sunday as they fought back from a near-hopeless situation to defeat India in a low-scoring thriller and gain the lead in the three-match ODI series.
The Tigers got off to a confident start after bowling their neighbours out for 186, but a middle-order batting collapse left them staring at defeat after they were reduced to 136/9 in the 40th over.
The final-wicket pair of Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mustafizur Rahman however, refused to give up, and produced the fightback of a lifetime, stitching an unbroken 51-run that to script one of Bangladesh’s greatest victories in cricket.
The hosts went 1-0 up in the three match series as a result, and will now fancy their chances of sealing the series with a game to spare when they lock horns again on Wednesday.
The victory did set Cricket Twitter alight, leading to several emotional posts from the Bangladeshi side and a mix of admiration for their opponents and bewilderment for the Men in Blue from the Indians.
