It is a tough pill to swallow for the men in blue. By their own acceptance, they have been outplayed by a side that has shown a lot of intent and vigour to prove their growing prowess in the limited overs format.

The result – India have suffered a series loss, a kind of first in the history of the game to Bangladesh. A highlighting factor in both losses was the team’s batting frailties. They failed to chase a 300-plus target after a good start in the 1st ODI and in the second ODI could post just 200.
Come Wednesday if India have to end on a high they need to show that they are not mere paper tigers. The big guns need to step up and stamp their authority. A telling knock might just be round the corner.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh is on a different high altogether. These are times worth cherishing for a young Bangladesh side. Afterall a series victory against a full strength India ODI side doesn’t come every day.
What has been more impressive about the wins is the call for all-round improvement even after convincing victories. While their coach Hathurasingha envisions a brighter future for Bangladesh cricket, Captain Mashrafe Mortaza has urged to maintain the good run in the tournaments ahead.
They have already earned themselves a ticket to the 2017 Champions Trophy and the “big achievement” as Mortaza labelled it might just be a pointer of better things to come.
When they meet India in the final ODI, one can expect the same level of aggression and purpose to make it three in a row. They have the series in the bag with a 2-0 reading at the moment and they would be more than happy to lift the cup with 3-0 written all over it.
