Match washed off, India won series 2-0
The third match between India and Bangladesh was called off due to heavy rains today at Dhaka. India won the toss and elected to bat first to get match practice as the team had already won the series. The Indian team began off to bad not losing 4 wickets for 16. The pitch was doing something for the fast bowlers and the Bangladesh bowlers utilized them brilliantly. After the first break Raina and Pujara played sensibly before the rain intervened again. Raina scored 25 off 25 before getting out the Shakib Al Hasan and then wickets began to fall at regular intervals but Binny played crucial innings off 25 and end the match on 119 for 9 before rain lashed again to completely call off the match.
In the 2nd half matches played the batting was not up to mark. The first ODI saw Utthappa scoring runs, Rahane scoring runs. The second match was totally a bowlers game as Binny broke the record of taking 6 wickets for 4 runs as India defended 105 runs.This series was a chance to test the bench strength of the team and India did well to succeded but the main worry would be the batting against swing bowling in England conditions which will test the likes of Kohli, Pujara, Rohit Sharma.
Overall Jadhav, Vinay Kumar, Ishwar Pandey would be disappointed that they did not get a game in this series and they should have tested these three players in this match and see their capablity in this match.
