India's Dinesh Karthik sweeps on way to his 94 DHAKA TRIBUNEWicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik was the highest scorer with 94 off 77 balls, featuring eight fours and a six, before he was taken off to give the others some chance to bat, while all-rounder Hardik Pandya later smacked a few lusty blows to remain unbeaten on 80 off just 54 balls with four over boundaries and half a dozen boundaries. Opener Shikhar Dhawan also had a good outing, making 60.
In reply, the Tigers batsmen immediately faced the music from the in-form Indian pace bowling department. By the look of things, Karthik and the slip cordon were seemed extremely busy as one catch after another came in their direction.
Three Bangladesh batsmen were unable to open their account while the rest managed to score a few but never looked comfortable at any point of time. This will certainly give head coach Chandika Hathurusingha something to think about.
From openers Soumya Sarkar (two) and Imrul Kayes (seven), No 3 Sabbir Rahman (nought), Shakib (seven), all-rounder Mahmudullah (nought), youngster Mosaddek Hossain (nought) to stumper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim (13), everyone surrendered helplessly in the face of some fierce Indian fast bowling display.
However, one should also not forget that it was just a warm-up game.
At the same time, it should also be mentioned that the type of defeat the Tigers have suffered before heading to the ICC flagship event is certainly not what the team management had in mind.BRIEF SCOREBangladesh 84 in 23.5 overs (Bhuvneshwar 3/13, Umesh 3/16) lost to India 324/7 (Karthik 94, Rubel 3/50) by 240 runsFrom a powerful batting display against Pakistan in the first warm-up game on Saturday to a horrible collapse on Tuesday, the Tigers batsmen have seen the other side of the coin in just three days as they were skittled out for just 84 runs against India in the second and final practice match to face a huge 240-run defeat in London.
Preparation-wise, the game against India taught some harsh lessons to the Bangladesh cricketers as the Tigers received a reality check before heading to the 2017 Champions Trophy.First, with the ball, giving away too many loose deliveries cost the Bangladesh bowlers badly as India posted a huge total of 324 for the loss of seven wickets in 50 overs after makeshift skipper Shakib al Hasan opted to bowl under overcast conditions.
Among the lot, pacer Rubel Hossain was perhaps the only bowler to trouble the Indian batters initially as opening batsman Rohit Sharma played on off the former's very first ball in the second over of the innings. The quickie picked up two more scalps and finished with bowling figures of 3/50 from nine overs. Left-arm spinner Sanjamul Islam took two wickets giving away 74 runs from nine overs but it was indeed a tough day for the Tigers bowlers on the field as everyone were expensive with the ball, apart from youngster Mehedi Hasan Miraz who, however, did not take any wicket. Miraz gave away 39 from his nine overs, including a maiden in the 12th over.
