That was one of the more bizarre games of ODI cricket you'll see. It was supposed to be 41 overs a side, but both teams together batted out 43.1 overs. Twenty wickets fell in that time. That's all from me today. I hope you enjoyed the game. Good night!
Presentation time They have to create a new award category for 'highest score in the match' since no one made a half-century. Suresh Raina gets a cheque with 'Fastest Fifty' written on it.
Mushfiqur "The way our batsmen played embarrassed the country in front of the whole world. Nothing's going right for Tamim but hopefully he will come back [to form]. Still one more game to go, hopefully we'll play better. It was doing a bit for the quicks but if you came in and spent some time 106 was chaseable. The way some of our batsmen selected their shots was not good enough. Taskin and Mashrafe bowled really well."
Raina: "The debutant bowled really well, I thought we needed to score 180 at least, but the way they bowled, especially Stuart Binny and Mohit Sharma, was unbelievable. This performance will definitely help Binny when he plays Test cricket in England. I knew I have to keep faith in the bowlers."
Stuart Binny is the Man of the Match "I think you wait for an opportunity when you're on top and you try to take it as far as you can. I got that opportunity today and made the most of it."
Brandon: "BD all out for 58. Deja vu for this West Indies fan!" That was also at the same venue.
Siddharth: "Mushfiqur Rahim had called this team "India A" with his (in)famous statement "if they lose, it will be India that loses, not India A". Well, if cannot even chase 106 against India "A", what chance would they have against a full strength India team?"
Tejas: "Why are we even worried about rain when we have matches as short as this?"
Mohit Sharma says it was a good pitch to bowl on. "We didn't have to do special things, just bowl on one spot."
Stuart Binny: "Plan was to come out hard, wicket was doing a bit, we just wanted to put pressure on them by not bowling boundary balls. We started believing as soon as we got a couple of wickets. At the break we just spoke of bowling in good areas and coming hard at them. I'd love to bowl on this wicket every day."
It was a difficult pitch to bat on, and by the time Bangladesh were batting the ball was beginning to bounce up awkwardly in addition to moving around all over the place. Still, you wonder why some of the batsmen played the shots they played. It started with Tamim Iqbal's terrible slash in the first over, and the batsmen kept up his example right through the chase. This is the lowest number of runs scored in any ODI in which all 20 wickets have fallen.
Al-Amin Hossain b Binny 0 (2m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0
Al-Amin Hossain is the last man for Bangladesh
Nasir Hossain b Binny 5 (26m 13b 0x4 0x6) SR: 38.46
Rajesh: "The Kanga League has started."
Bangladesh's home series against India and South Africa were hampered by rain but the monsoon months could offer a chance to host more limited-overs series
Stuart Binny's six wickets helped India beat hosts Bangladesh by 47 runs in the second ODI played in Mirpur on Tuesday.
The series in Bangladesh was unexpectedly difficult for the batsmen, but they will be richer for the experience
Rahul Dravid, the former India captain, believes the experience of consecutive collapses in seamer-friendly conditions in the last two ODIs against Bangladesh will hold India's young batsmen in good stead going forward
The pitch in Mirpur was something of a revelation for Suresh Raina, who said: "Especially in the subcontinent, I haven't seen a wicket do this much in the last 10 years"
