Bangladesh vs. India, 2nd ODI: Date, Time, Live Stream, TV Info and Preview

Rob LancasterJun 19, 2015

Bangladesh has the chance to wrap up the one-day series against India, when the two neighbouring nations meet in the second of three matches on Sunday.

The hosts upset their illustrious rivals with a 79-run triumph in the opening fixture in Mirpur on Thursday, rain having forced the match to be delayed by 24 hours.

It is the monsoon season in Bangladesh but, thankfully, reserve days have been put in place for the series.

Date: Sunday, June 21

Start time: 3 p.m. local time; 10 a.m. BST

Venue: Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur

Live stream and TV info: Star Sports (India and Bangladesh), SuperSport (South Africa), PTV Sports (Pakistan and UAE)

Weather: According to Weather.com, the day-night fixture is highly likely to be interrupted by thunderstorms. While temperatures will be high, there is an 80 percent chance of rain.

Overview

Bangladesh’s win in the first ODI may still be thought of as a surprise, but they have now triumphed in their last nine 50-over matches on home soil.

Per Deivarayan Muthu of ESPN Cricinfo, they only need to win one of their next five one-day fixtures to qualify for the 2017 Champions Trophy.

The star of the show in their latest success was Mustafizur Rahman, the teenage seamer marking his debut with a five-wicket haul.

Rahman had just one setback—the 19-year-old was fined 50 percent of his match fee after a collision with India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who was docked 75 percent of his, according to Alagappan Muthu of ESPN Cricinfo.

Chasing a target of 308, India got off to an excellent start, thanks to an opening stand worth 95 between Rohit Sharma (63) and Shikhar Dhawan (30).

However, the tourists lost their next five wickets for the addition of just 33 runs. They were eventually bowled out for 228 with four overs still remaining in their innings.

Suresh Raina (right): Believes India are the better side

India batsman Suresh Raina told bcci.tv (h/t the Times of India) that while they had been second-best to Bangladesh on Thursday, they still remained the stronger of the two sides:

"

Bangladesh outplayed us in every department.

Having said that, all the five wickets that Mustafizur Rahman took, he got them off the slower ball and got our set batsmen, first Rohit and then me.

When Ravindra Jadeja and I were batting, I believed that if we could stretch it out for five more overs, we would have won it.

This loss is a bit shocking for us and it is hurting a lot. Yes, they played better than us today but we are still a better team.

"

India needs to back up Raina’s words with a better performance in Mirpur, the venue for all three matches. 

If they don’t, the series will be lost, and serious questions should be asked.

Key players 

Bangladesh

Apart from losing half of his match fee, Rahman’s debut could not have gone much better. Now, the key for the bowler is to prove his performance was not a one off.

While Bangladesh cannot expect him to take five wickets in every match he plays, they will hope his opening haul is the beginning of a long and successful international career.

India

Virat Kohli has a phenomenal one-day record (he averages 51.07), but 2015 has, on the whole, been a struggle for one of the world's best batsmen. 

India’s Test captain has managed one score of 50 of more in 13 matches since the turn of the year. His last three knocks have combined for five runs, with Bangladesh twice dismissing him cheaply (the other occasion occurring in the Cricket World Cup).

Squads

Bangladesh: Mashrafe Mortaza (capt), Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan, Sabbir Rahman, Nasir Hossain, Arafat Sunny, Taskin Ahmed, Rubel Hossain, Rony Talukdar, Mustafizur Rahman, Litton Das 

India: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt), Ravichandran Ashwin, Stuart Binny, Shikhar Dhawan, Ravindra Jadeja, Virat Kohli, Dhawal Kulkarni, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Axar Patel, Ajinkya Rahane, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, Mohit Sharma, Rohit Sharma, Umesh Yadav
