Bangladesh Cricket decided to leave out two big names from the squad from their upcoming three-match T20I series, as Nigar Sultana prepares to lead her country against the Indian women's team later this month.
The Young Tigresses began their campaign with a solid 4-1 victory over Nepal on Monday, with Shilji Shaji netting a hat-trick and Pooja adding another.
The win in Dhaka gives India a major boost going into the Australia home series with their chances of making the ICC World Test Championship final well and truly on.
Ravichandran Ashwin was declared the 'Player of the Match' for his match-winning knock in the second innings. India went on to clinch the two-match Test series 2-0. The Test series triumph was the 16th win in a row in Asia for India.
A victory in Dhaka has resulted in India strengthening their second position, with their win-percentage improving from 55.77 to 58.93. Australia are at the top of the table while South Africa (54.55%) and Sri Lanka (53.33%) are right behind India at No.3 and 4 respectively.
Bangladesh resumed their innings at 71/4, Zakir Hasan and Litton Das handled the charge as they slammed Indian bowlers all around the ground while gathering singles at regular intervals.
Jaydev Unadkat, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Siraj and Axar Patel took a wicket each to dismantle the hosts in the first session of the third day of the second test. At the crease is Zakir Hasan (37*) with Litton Das, who is yet to open his account.
