Shreyas Iyer and R Ashwin make it 2-0 for India in close finish

A battling and insubordinate 50 years stand between No. 8 Shreyas Iyer and R Ashwin saved India from a lower-request breakdown and drove them to a dainty three-wicket win on a turning and low contribute on the fourth morning Dhaka. Continuing on 45 for 4, India required 100 more to win and Bangladesh six wickets. Mehidy Hasan Miraz's five-for allowed the hosts a major opportunity with speedy wickets in the main half hour before Ashwin and Iyer utilized persistence, represented the low skip and furthermore scored at a decent clasp - at more than four an over - to take India over the line before the planned mid-day break. India reinforced their second right on target the WTC table with the 2-0 series win and have a four-Test series coming up at home against Australia, of which they can stand to lose just a single game to not miss out on the last spot. India were in some hot water in the principal hour at 74 for 7, still 71 uncontrolled from the objective, when Iyer and Ashwin met up. Iyer utilized his straight bat to play out the spinners persistently and Ashwin involved a low position for the low skip particularly against Mehidy as the Bangladesh spinners adhered to a stump-to-stump line that had gotten them three wickets in the first part of the day. Mehidy even made an opportunity when Ashwin was on 1 and India on 80, when Ashwin gloved the ball to short leg where Mominul Haque put down a direct opportunity. Very much like Bangladesh made India pay for the dropped possibilities on Saturday, Ashwin took advantage of the existence he got and gotten ordinary limits once he moved into twofold digits. He gathered two in an over off Khaled Ahmed and polished things off in a 16-run over off Mehidy what began with a first-ball six over midwicket and finished with consecutive fours, taking Ashwin to an unbeaten 42 off 62 while Iyer was on 29 at the opposite end. Bangladesh had dashed ahead with an early benefit in a sensational first hour that saw a couple of limits, various requests, two surveys, and three wickets. Jaydev Unadkat endure an exceptionally minimal lbw approach the third wad of the day and Bangladesh's survey showed the ball was simply hitting leg stump, which wasn't sufficient to upset the on-field choice. Unadkat trudge cleared the extremely next ball for six over midwicket however fell in the following over when Shakib Al Hasan sneaked through a fast one from around the wicket to trap him right in front on the back foot and Unadkat squandered a survey. Mehidy then eliminated two remaining hand players in sequential overs for his eighth Test five-for. Rishabh Gasp, at No. 7, released an opposite clear from the get-go against Shakib for four yet in addition looked anxious while either venturing out over and over again against the spinners or going on the back foot perilously against sharp turn. Mehidy bowled on the fourth stump line without fail to him from around the wicket and pitched one insignificantly more limited to trap Gasp on the back foot for 9. 71 for 6 immediately became 74 for 7. Axar Patel carried on from his short-term 26 with normal strokes to keep the score ticking at whatever point he got width or length to work with. However, he likewise turned into a survivor of Mehidy's smothering line and level direction when a grubber diverted off his cushions on the back foot and hit the stumps to send him back for 34. Shakib supplanted himself with Taijul Islam to keep the left-arm turn danger going from one end and Iyer and Ashwin kept their bats near cushions and inclined forward to hinder the ball quietly in a limit less spell of 67 balls. With two right-hand players on now, Mehidy's wizardry didn't look as unplayable now, notwithstanding the existence Ashwin got. Iyer hit his initial four on his 29th ball when Mehidy pitched one wide and afterward ventured out to drive Shakib back to front for a strong cover drive followed by a draw for two additional fours to take India past 100 and switch the energy rapidly. At the point when India were 34 away, Shakib welcomed on pace without precedent for the day. In the wake of surrendering a four down the leg side, Khaled Ahmed almost made an opportunity with Ashwin's thick edge past a plunging ravine defender yet that likewise went for four. Taijul returned on, Mehidy had a go at circumventing the wicket and Bangladesh trusted perhaps absence of skip would get them an opening, yet at the same nothing worked. Ashwin immediately scored 31 off the last 34 runs with the assistance of four fours a six kept Bangladesh actually looking for their most memorable Test win against India.
