Shreyas Iyer and Ashwin kill Bangladesh; India wins Dhaka Test

Dhaka: Going into the final day of play, India, who had six wickets in hand, were 100 runs away from victory. India started the match at four for 45 and lost three wickets adding 29 runs. When Unadkat, Rishabh Pant and Axar Patel were out it looked like they would lose to Bangladesh on 74 out of seven, but the combination of Shreyas Iyer and Ravichandran Ashwin gifted India the win and the series (2-0).

Iyer-Ashwin scored 71 in an unbroken eighth wicket partnership. Ashwin (42) scored while Shreyas Iyer scored 29 points. Mominul Haq, who was fielding Ashwin’s forward shot to the leg after scoring a run, was decisive in the outcome of the match.

Score: Bangladesh- 227-10, 231-10; India: 314-10, 145-7

Night watchman Jayadev Unadkat (13) was the first to be sacked in the last day. Shakib Al Hasan was trapped in front of the wicket. Rishabh Pant (9) and Axar Patel (34) were also sacked.
