India is nearing a well-deserved victory in the 2nd Test against Bangladesh in Kanpur as Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Mehidy Hasan Miraz to claim the eighth wicket. With Bangladesh struggling at 118/8 in their second innings, India needs just two more wickets to wrap up the match and secure a comprehensive win.
Key Moments of Day 5
On Day 5 of the final Test, Jasprit Bumrah was reintroduced into the attack, and the move paid off immediately. Bumrah delivered a good-length ball that angled in and straightened sharply, forcing Mehidy Hasan to poke at it. The ball took the outside edge and flew to the right of Rishabh Pant, who made no mistake in taking the catch behind the stumps. This wicket came as an action replay of Mehidy’s first innings dismissal, only this time, Pant took the catch instead of a fielder at slip.
Mehidy’s departure for 9 runs (off 17 balls with 1 boundary) pushed Bangladesh deeper into trouble, with the team trailing by 66 runs in their second innings. Mushfiqur Rahim remains at the crease, trying to steer his team out of an inevitable defeat.
India’s Bowling Attack Dominates
Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja have been exceptional in the bowling department, with Bumrah’s figures reading 6.3 overs, 2 maidens, 12 runs, and 1 wicket. Jadeja has also contributed significantly, maintaining an economy rate of 2.60 in his 5 overs and keeping the pressure on Bangladesh’s lower order.
Bangladesh’s current partnership struggles to stabilize their innings as India remains focused on closing the game with just two more wickets needed to achieve victory.
Stay tuned for further updates as India closes in on wrapping up the match and securing a series victory.
