Tigers make early inroads

Bangladesh pacer Ebadot Hossain picked up the prized wicket of India's Virat Kohli in the second over of the innings, while Mustafizur Rahman scalped the other opener Shikhar Dhawan to leave India two down for 13 runs in the second ODI of the three-matchs series at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Wednesday

Virat, who came to open due to skipper Rohit Sharma's injury, tried to pull one off a short one from Ebadot but ended up playing it onto the stumps as the home crowd erupted in roars when Ebadot brought out his signature salute to send Kohli off for five runs.

The next one to go was Dhawan, who got himself in a tangle when a Mustafiz delivery rose sharply at his ribcage. The left-0handed batter failed to negate the extra bounce and fended his bat out, giving Mehedi Hasan Miraz the easiest of catches at point.

Shakib joined the party too as he picked up Washington Sundar in his very first over. Sundar took a long stride to play a flighted delivery towards the leg side but could only chip it to short mid-wicket leaving India three down for 39 runs on the board at the end of the powerplay.

Earlier in the day, courtesy of Miraz's unbeaten 83-ball 100 and a record 148-run stand for the seventh wicket between him and Mahmudullah, Bangladesh were able to post 271 for seven after losing six for only 69 at the 19 over mark.
