India face Bangladesh in the second ODI with a chance to seal the three-match series. The visitors have been clinical and bullied their way to a comfortable win in the opening match. Catch all the updates from the second ODI here:
The Indian team registered a thumping seven wicket win in the opening ODI. While the bowlers were decent, India openers Robi Uthappa and Ambati Rayudu had a 99-run stand - a sign that the team can experiment with this pair going forward.
The second ODI is expected to be a one-sided affair once again but the tourists will have to guard against complacency. Skipper Suresh Raina has be an able leader against weaker opponents and he would like to maintain that reputation. Bangladesh though would be itching to deliver a surprise punch.
While their performance has been nothing to write home about, there were some fine knocks from the likes of Mushfiqur Rahim (59), Shakib al Hasan (52) and Anamul Haque (44). The bowlers will have to back the batting if the team has to deliver a comprehensive performance. Weather though may play spoil-sport once again as the forecast is of some rain. The first match had a two and a half hour delay due to the rain and while the ground-staff has done a decent job, showers once again can play havoc.
