14.01: India win toss, opt to bat vs Bangladesh.
Wounded India will look to hunt down the roaring Bangla Tigers when the two sides battle it out in the second ODI today in Mirpur. India were beaten convincingly in the first ODI and a loss again will mean end game for the MS Dhoni-led side. However, a victory will not only keep India in the series but it will also promise and enthralling series finale on June 24.
Bangladesh are on a nine-match winning streak -- their longest at home. Bangladesh, who beat Pakistan 3-0 in their previous series, aim for a historic series win over India. They have beaten India just four times.
Bangladesh avenged their controversial World Cup quarter-final loss that started hostility among the two cricketing Boards. Things spiced up again when Dhoni pushed first ODI star Mustafizur Rahman, who got on his way while the Indian captain was taking a single. Dhoni's unusual act surprised many and he was slapped with a hefty fine.
All eyes will be on Mustafizur, who on his debut bagged a five-wicket haul to wreck India. The wiry pacer, who idolizes disgraced Pakistani fast bowler Mohammad Aamir, received praises from all corners, including opponents India.
Pacers Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav and Mohit Sharma, although picked wickets, failed to check the run flow. The trio will look to put up a much better performance if India are to stay alive in the series.
Virat Kohli, who's last three ODI score being 3,1 and 1, will be eagerly waiting to get runs under his belt. Bangladesh have proved they have done their homework well and will aim to put up another similar show and seal the three-match series 2-0 on Sunday itself.
