Dream 11 Fantasy Cricket tips for India vs Bangladesh, 2nd ODI (7th December)

The Second ODI of the three Match One day Series will be played between India and Bangladesh, at Sher-E-Bangla National Cricket, Stadium Mirpur Dhaka, in Bangladesh. The match will start at 11:30 AM IST.
 
In the first cliffhanger of a match, Bangladesh standing captain Litton Kumar das won the toss, put India to bat and beat them by 1 wicket. The Indians were off to a shaky start losing their first three wickets for a score of mere 50 runs in the 1st 10 overs of the match.

After this initial jolt they just couldn’t recover and lost wickets in heaps. KL Rahul was the only batsman who stuck it out for the Indian team and made 73 runs off 70 balls. The rest were an abundant disappointment.

Though the Indian team was bundled out for a score of just 186 runs, but their terrific job with bowling tight lines and lengths, making it difficult for the Bangladesh batsman to score runs, picking up wickets at regular intervals and pursed 9 wickets, cannot be undermined.

All this contribution was wiped out by the incredible 51 run partnership between Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mustafizur Rahman that led Bangladesh side towards the well-deserved victory. Having said that, it would have been a different story and a happy ending for India, had KL Rahul not dropped the catch of Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and Rohit Sharma not made the mistake to have a part time wicketkeeper behind the stumps.

It made no sense to shelve Ishan Kishan the specialist wicketkeeper in the Squad. Had he been behind the stumps Mehidy’s catch would have been a regulation catch for him.

Now moving towards the second one day international, it's important that if India get a chance to bat first, studying the pitch condition, they should strive to score at least 280 to 270 runs. And if they get to bowl first they should try to dismiss the Bangladesh batsmen for a score of 160 or less. The Indian batsmen need to have a sense of responsibility while they are batting out there in the middle. Specially the opening combinations need to give a solid start, stop playing reckless shots under pressure and seriously, Rohit Sharma needs to be ousted out of captaincy from both one day as well as T20.

Looking at both the form and record- Hardik Pandya should be given a chance to lead in both the formats. Pandya has so far captained India in 5 T20 matches, won four and having a tie out of the 5T20 matches. He was also victorious in the one-day match against West Indies as a Captain. As far as his skill and strategy for captaincy goes, he has more to offer then Rohit Sharma.
