Match State: Match start scheduled for 2pm local time (8am GMT)
Welcome to the second India-Bangladesh encounter of the TVS Cup
Bangladesh did well against South Africa in their last game and
would like to take this form forward
India meanwhile have won handsomely and are a confident bunch
It's warm and humid as usual at the Bangabandhu Stadium
The wicket looks fantastic for batting although it might slow down
a bit later and aid the spinners
The spinners in both sides should play a role once again
Sourav Ganguly (bad back) and Zaheer Khan (hamstring) have been
rested
Virender Sehwag will lead the Indian team in Ganguly's absence.
Yuvraj Singh is also out to illness
Harbhajan Singh has been rested
This means that Sarandeep Singh, Abhijit Kale, Sanjay Bangar and
Salvi will play

bat

India have won easily here, yet again, keeping the winning habit
Although Bangladesh played much better this time around they still
could not trouble India
Even a second string Indian side, missing many of its senior
players, was just too good for Bangladesh
India have won easily by four wickets with more than seven overs to
spare
Virender Sehwag's debut as captain results in a win
We'll have to wait and see who the Man of the Match is, should be
Gautam Gambhir or perhaps Ajit Agarkar
And the Man of the Match award has been given to Gautam Gambhir for
his innings of 71
We thoroughly enjoyed bringing this game to you, we hope you had
fun!
Till the next game, it's a very good evening to you all from the
Wisden CricInfo teams!
