How India imploded against Bangladesh in a crazy last 30 minutes: a record partnership and a costly drop

India were cruising towards victory in their Asia Cup opener against Bangladesh in Mirpur, but a dramatic last 30 minutes saw the game turn on its head. Bangladesh put on a record partnership for the 8th wicket, while India made a costly dropped catch, as Bangladesh eventually won by 5 wickets.

It was a case of so near, yet so far for India, as they imploded in the final stages of the game against Bangladesh. India had been in complete control for the majority of the match, but a dramatic batting collapse saw Bangladesh snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

The turning point came in the 8th wicket partnership between Bangladesh batsmen Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah. The pair put on a record-breaking stand of 192 runs, which completely changed the complexion of the game.

India also contributed to their own downfall, with a costly dropped catch off the bat of Mahmudullah. The catch would have dismissed Mahmudullah for just 12 runs, but instead he went on to make a match-winning century.

It was a disappointing end to the game for India, but they will have to pick themselves up and move on to the next match.

Mumbai defeats Vidarbha by 169 runs to win the 42nd Ranji Trophy, capping an eight-year reign.

Mumbai overcame Vidarbha by 169 runs in the Wankhede Stadium final on Thursday to end an eight-year drought for a record-tying 42nd Ranji Trophy victory. Vidarbha put up a valiant fight in the second inning to chase a massive 538 runs, but on Day 5, they were eventually bowled out for 368.

Vidarbha put up a valiant battle on Day 5 of the final, with captain Akshay Wadkar and Harsh Dubey leading the team’s struggle against Ajinkya Rahane’s troops. Vidarbha scored 81 runs in the opening session without losing a wicket thanks to the two’s resolute stance at the crease, which frustrated the home team.

Mumbai defeated Vidarbha by a commanding 169 runs in the Ranji Trophy final, putting on an outstanding display.

Following lunch, Wadkar gave Vidarbha’s innings a boost with a magnificent century, showcasing his batting prowess. But when it was time to step it up, Tanush Kotian got his wicket by lbw-ing Wadkar.

Following the captain’s exit, Vidarbha’s batting lineup came under increasing pressure. Even Dubey, who showed fortitude by hitting a steely 65 off 128 deliveries, gave in to the pressure of the scoreboard.

Mumbai’s bowlers strengthened their hold on the game as the innings went on. Vidarbha’s bottom order offered little resistance as Mumbai quickly completed the innings in just the next 25 deliveries.

Ajinkya Rahane gave the ball to Dhawal Kulkarni in a crucial moment following the loss of the ninth wicket in his final domestic encounter. With just his third ball of the spell, Kulkarni quickly secured the vital wicket of Umesh Yadav, securing Mumbai’s 42nd championship.

Mumbai won their first Ranji Trophy since 2016. The domestic powerhouses increased their lead over other teams in the standings for the most trophies won in the first-class competition. With Karnataka coming in a distant second, no other team has won the Ranji Trophy more times than this one.
