Bangladesh end on a healthy 279 in their innings, the bedrock of which was a composed century by captain Mushfiqur Rahim and a half-century from Anamul. The two added 133 for the third wicket after a slow start to their innings. The innings made smooth progress until the two launched into Varun Aaron in the Powerplay. Mohammad Shami was the pick of the bowlers with four wickets.
Anamul says that in absence of Tamim and Shakib, they had to take responsibility and it's a defendable target. The pitch, he says, is good to bat and chasing will not be easy.
milind: "I think India did well in the death overs. With the way Bangladesh was batting especially Mushi, India was staring at a total of close to 300 runs. Pretty impressive death over bowling from India after long long time with more yorkers bowled in the match than they bowled in the entire year!"
Rj: "Take out Aaron, I think considering their recent bowling performance, India have bowled extremely well under the circumstances. No 300+ for a change???" Will be back shortly for India's innings
Simon: "I think Indian fans need to stop patting themselves on the back with this bowling performance. Yes it's under 300, but it's against Bangladesh without two of their best batsmen. I'd expect them to chase it comfortably though."
Jalan: "Agree with Simon. However, even the BD batsmen are not the same anymore. They play worldclass cricket."

Last over, how far can Mushy take Bangladesh?

The number of yorkers from India I have seen in this match is probably more than what I saw in the entire last year
Sohag Gazi is in.. he can hit it big too
Mushfiqur now has the highest ODI score by a Bangladesh captain beating Ashraful's 109 against UAE in 2008
