India vs Bangladesh Highlights 1st ODI: Mehidy Hasan powers BAN to one wicket win, lead series 1-0

Mehidy Hasan and Mustafizur stitched a partnership of 51 runs to take Bangladesh home. The hosts were reduced to 136/9 and win looked almost out of sight, but missed chances by India and some unorthodox cricket by Mehidy seals a thrilling win for Bangladesh. They lead the three-match series 1-0.

Mehidy Hasan welcomes Deepak Chahar with a boundary. A length ball and it is sliced towards the third man region for a boundary. 

He then pulls a short delivery, which is saved on the fence. But the ball is called a no-ball. It's a freehit.

Mustafizur Rahman takes a quick single in the final ball of the over and it's a direct hit but the batter has completed his ground and with this the scores are level. 

Mehdiy Hasan then hits a four to take Bangladesh home. The hosts were out of the game but the tailender took charge and scored an unbeaten 38 off 39 balls to win the match for his side. They complete the 187-run target with four balls to spare. 

Shardul Thakur bowls it on Mustafizur pads, who guides it on the fine leg region. The ball beats the fielder, who fails to stop despite diving on the ground. He then passes the strike to Mehidy in the fourth ball of the over. 

Mehidy takes a single in the final ball as BAN reach 179/9 after 45 overs.

Deepak Chahar is introduced into the attack and he bowls a beamer. The umpire signals for a freehit as Mehidy remains on strike. He manages to get his bat but it goes high and settles in Shikhar Dhawan's hands. He refuses to run. 

Next ball he shuffles across the crease and he scoops it past the short fine leg fielder for a boundary. 

The next delivery he makes room for himself and slashes it over the short third man fielder for another boundary. 

Chahar then bowls a back of a length delivery, which is punched square of the wicket by Mehidy, who wanted to take a second and eventually gets it in the form of overthrows. 

Washington Sundar makes a fielding error in the final ball, which goes away for a boundary. 

It is Bangladesh, who have turned the odds, as they reach 14 runs off 36 balls.

BAN: 173/9 (44 overs)

Mehidy Hasan is still looking for the big hits. He misses one against Shardul Thakur but connects it on the second instance. The ball balloons up in the air, and KL Rahul runs to collect it, despite a fielder being positioned there. He reaches but fails to hold on to it.

A brilliant over by Mohammed Siraj as Mehidy Hasan fails to score a single big hit and is forced to rotate the strike in the second last ball.

Shardul Thakur provides India with the breakthrough they were looking for. Mahmudullah is trapped LBW for 14. The batter opted for a review, but replay confirmed the impact was on the line, no bat was involved and it was hitting the leg stump. BAN: 128/5 (35 overs)
