India’s opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan believes his aspect will bounce again within the three-match one-day worldwide collection in opposition to Bangladesh regardless of a shock defeat within the opening match. “We are very, very confident about tomorrow’s game. This is not the first time we have lost the first game in a series. It’s quite normal so we know how to bounce back from these situations,” Dhawan mentioned in Dhaka forward of the second match on Wednesday. Tail-ender Mehidy Hasan Miraz hit an unbeaten 38 and placed on a file tenth-wicket stand as Bangladesh edged out India by one wicket to take a 1-0 lead in Sunday’s thriller match in Dhaka.

“It was a low total and at the end they pulled the game back from us which doesn’t happen very often. They played really well so give credit to them,” Dhawan mentioned.
“Where we need improvements were analysed and rectified in a meeting and surely will be creating much more impact in the coming game as well,” he added.
Dhawan mentioned that bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur, who was in discomfort within the first match, might be out there for Wednesday’s match on the identical Dhaka venue.
“He had a cramp but it was nothing serious,” he mentioned.
Bangladesh coach Russell Domingo mentioned they have been unlikely to danger pacer Taskin Ahmed regardless of his returning to coaching after recovering from a again harm.
“I’m not sure we want to risk playing him yet. There is a lot of cricket to be played, there are a few Test matches and also (we want to) have the opportunity to keep developing the other fast bowlers,” Domingo mentioned.
The South African added that they have been conscious of the backlash they may face in opposition to India within the second match.
“There’s also a sense that India will come back strong. We have to play better cricket than the first game, particularly with the bat. We can’t get away with it again,” he mentioned.
A win in Wednesday’s recreation will give Bangladesh their second successive ODI collection victory over India, having taken the honours 2-1 the final time India visited Dhaka in 2015.
