BAN vs IND 2022: Match 2nd ODI, Bangladesh vs India Match Prediction – Who will win today’s ODI match between BAN vs IND?

India will be facing Bangladesh in the second One Day International at the Sher-E-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka on Wednesday, December 7. It will be a must-win game for the Indian team as a loss would mean that the hosts will end up winning the ODI series.

India only have themselves to blame as they lost the opening fixture from a position of strength. They had Bangladesh on the mat at 136/9 before the duo of Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mustafizur Rahman stitched a match-winning 51 runs for the final wicket and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, were clinical with the ball in hand earlier in the day after winning a good toss, but the batters showcased a lackluster performance.

Even though Mehidy and Mustafizur saved the day for the hosts, it is to be noted that the former was dropped during the tense run chase, or else it would have been curtains for the hosts in the 43^rd over itself.

Probable Top Performers from BAN vs IND

Probable best batter: Shreyas Iyer 

Shreyas Iyer seems to be making the most of his opportunities in One Day Internationals and would hope to cement his position in the ODI set-up ahead of the next year’s 50-overs World Cup in India. Iyer, who was impressive in the recent ODI series against South Africa, also did well in New Zealand and got off to a good start (24 off 39 balls) in the first ODI against Bangladesh on December 4 but couldn't utilise the start.

Probable best bowler: Shakib Al Hasan

Shakib Al Hasan decimated the Indian batting line-up as he accounted for half of the side in the series opener with an outstanding fifer. The veteran all-rounder finished with match-winning figures of 5/36 in his 10 overs at an economy of 3.60 including two maidens.
