Rohit Sharma and Company will look to come back strong against Bangladesh in the 2nd ODI, and with the series on the line, the Men in Blue would want to bring their A game in Mirpur.
Before we dive deep into the action, here is everything you need to know about the venue of the 2nd ODI game between India and Bangladesh.
Pitch Report
The first game was played at the same venue, and the batters found it really difficult to get going. Chasing 186, Bangladesh won by just one wicket, and that shows the amount of help the bowlers had, particularly the slower ones.
The average total at this venue in the first innings is around the 220 mark, which drops below 200 in the 2nd innings. Expect a repeat of what you witnessed in the 1st ODI. The batters will need to apply themselves if they want to score some runs here.
Will Toss Matter?
The pitch will be slow to begin with and it won't change much throughout the course of the game. Whichever team wins the toss, might want to have a target in front of them. Toss won't make much difference.
