Team India may lose the first test against Bangladesh, this mistake may prove costly

IND vs BAN 1st Chennai Test: The first match of the two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh is being played at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Three days of the match have been completed. Even though Team India is leading in the match, this match can still slip out of Team India’s hands. Now you must be wondering how Team India can lose the first Test being played against Bangladesh in Chennai? Here we will tell you about this.

Three days of the match have been completed so far. After three days, Team India is looking ahead in the match, but Bangladesh also has full chances of winning the match. By the time three days are completed, Bangladesh has scored 158/4 runs while chasing the target of 515 runs. Now from here, the guest Bangladesh needs 357 runs to win, for which they have two days. 357 runs can be easily scored in two days. However, Bangladesh has only 6 wickets in hand.

Did Team India make a mistake by declaring the innings?

The Indian team declared the second innings very early. If there is some upset in the match, then declaring the innings early can be one of the major reasons for it. It is worth noting that Team India had declared the innings on the score of 287/4 before the tea break on the third day itself and invited Bangladesh to chase the target.

If Team India had played the entire third day, Bangladesh could have got a bigger target. After declaring the innings before the tea break, the Indian team set a target of 515 runs for Bangladesh. Chasing this target, Bangladesh has scored 158/4 and they need 357 runs in two days to win. On the other hand, the Indian team needs only 6 wickets to win the match.
