With India at 74 for seven chasing 145, Bangladesh have been on target for his or her first ever Test win towards their formidable neighbours earlier than Iyer (29 not out off 46) and Aswhin (42 not out off 62) denied them with an unbeaten 71-run stand off 105 balls.

Off-spinner Mehidy Hazan Miraz (5/63) gave his all on strategy to a 5 wicket haul but it surely didn’t show to be sufficient.

The come-from-behind win meant India wrapped up the sequence 2-0 to strengthen their probabilities of a second straight last look within the World Test Championship.
