The Dhaka Times Desk Bangladesh cricket team batted well but finally had to admit defeat to India. Millions of viewers of Bangladesh were optimistic after watching the first half but it ended with the sadness of defeat.
Yesterday in the second match of the Asia Cup (Bangladesh-India) there was a fight between two captains. Bangladesh took complete control of the match with Mushfiqur Rahim's brilliant century. In reply, Indian captain Virat Kohli scored a century to seal the win. India won by 6 wickets against Bangladesh in their first match in Asia Cup thanks to Kohli and Rahane's two innings. India reached the target of 280 runs set by Bangladesh with one over remaining.
But until Virat Kohli started this run rampage, everything in the match seemed to be in favor of Bangladesh. At the beginning of Bangladesh's innings, opener Samsur Rahman lost Shubo, but two youngsters Enamul Haque Vijay and Muminul brought stability to the Bangladesh team. Vijay and Mushfiq's counter-attack started after Muminul's innings of 29 runs, decorated with some wonderful shots, returned. At one point Mushfiqur actually reached 104 with a century. Bangladesh team managed to play a big innings.
And this is how India went ahead and set a target of 280 runs. The audience of Bangladesh became excited after watching the first half of the game. Because they assumed that Bengalis will taste victory again after many days. But India's game was good in the beginning, but in the second part, it went down. Gradually, the hope of victory began to fade. India's first two wickets went so quickly that the Bangladeshi crowd erupted into cheers and jubilation. But that destiny. Fate finally went against Bangladesh and India won. And as fate would have it, Bangladesh's easy victory finally turned into a tough test and finally defeat.
However, lakhs of viewers of this country want to be comforted by remembering the skill of Mushfiqur's team in the batting skills of Bangladesh visitors.
