Bangladesh and India will lock horns in the second ODI of the three-match series on Wednesday, July 19 at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka. Bangladesh scripted history in the first game as they beat India for the first time ever in an ODI by 40 runs. Captain Nigar Sultana, however, refrained from celebrating the win as she has her eyes set on a historic series win against the Women in Blue.
On the other hand, India have their back against the wall as they’ve lost the last two matches on the tour, including the third T20I. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side was bundled out for 113 chasing a target of 152 in the first game. They have all to play for in the upcoming game and need to script a remarkable comeback to stay alive in the series.
