Bangladesh vs India Test: Hasan Joins Elite List With His Fifer
Hasan Mahmud got his moment of celebration when he dismissed Bumrah in the 12th over of day two to get his second five-wicket haul, ending the Indian innings on 376.
The 24-year-old Bangladeshi pacer Hasan Mahmud enjoyed a memorable outing during the first Test between India and Bangladesh as he picked his second fifer in his fourth Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on September 20.
In what looked like a pitch suited for the pacers at the start of day one, it was Hasan who single-handedly took out the Indian top order in the first session.
While Rohit Sharma was sent back to the pavilion for just 6 runs with a brilliant out-swinging delivery, Hasan then went on to dismiss Rohit's opening partner, Shubman Gill, for an 8-ball duck, with the ball edging his bat and going into the gloves of Litton Das.
Hasan's third wicket was Virat Kohli, who also departed early after scoring just 6 runs.
Mahmud kept the pressure on Jaiswal and Pant after lunch as well and finally got his fourth wicket of the day in the 26th over. Hasan removed Rishabh Pant at a time when both batters were looking settled. The pacer ended a 62-run fourth-wicket partnership to keep the Bangla Tigers in the game.
However, the pacer had to wait to complete his fifer as Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja refused to give Bangladesh any wickets in the final session. Hasan finally got his moment of celebration when he dismissed Bumrah in the 12th over of day two to get his second five-wicket haul, ending the Indian innings on 376.
With his impressive bowling performance against India, Hasan Mahmud now holds the record for the joint second-highest number of fifers by a Bangladeshi pacer, along with Robiul Islam, with two five-wicket hauls each. Shahadat Hossain, with four fifers, is the only bowler ahead of him.

New Zealand All Out for 340 in Sri Lanka Test
New Zealand were bowled out for 340 in their first innings in the first Test against Sri Lanka on Friday in Galle to take a slender 35-run lead.
The tourists resumed day three on 255-4 but Sri Lanka's spinners came to the fore, with Prabath Jayasuriya taking 4-136 including the wicket of opener Tom Latham for 70.
In reply at lunch Friday, Sri Lanka was 32 for one on the third day, trailing New Zealand by three runs with nine wickets in hand.
Left-arm spinner Prabath Jayasuriya, who was erratic with his line and length on Day 2, found some rhythm Friday and finished with four wickets. He was well backed up by off-spinner Ramesh Mendis, who finished with three wickets as New Zealand was bowled out for 340 in its first innings.
Daryl Mitchell scored a half-century before being run out while Glenn Philips provided some extra entertainment, hitting 49 off 48 balls. Philips hit five sixes, with some of them going out of the ground.
Sri Lanka had a half-hour to negotiate before lunch and the hosts lost Pathum Nissanka in that period when he was superbly caught in the slips by Tim Southee as William O’Rourke claimed his sixth wicket in the match. The tall fast bowler had claimed a five-wicket haul in the first innings.
Bangladesh vs India / Bangladesh Dismissed for 149 in Its First Innings

Shakib Al Hasan made a team-high 32 while Mehidy Hasan Miraz was not out on 27. Liton Das scored 22 and captain Najmul Hossain Shanto added 20.
India which was bowled out for 376, finally took a 227-run lead in the first innings.
The hosts resumed the day on 339-6 but lost the last four wickets for just only 37 runs in the morning session of Day 2.

Bangladesh vs India Test Series / Records That Tigers Have to Break to Beat India
India set a big target of 515 runs to Bangladesh in the Chennai Test. Bangladesh have 10 wickets and two and a half days to chase this run. If there is time, Bangladesh will have to break the history of Test cricket and all the old records to win.
However, it is impossible to score 515 runs in the fourth innings. The history of test cricket says this. So far, West Indies has the match-winning record of 414 runs in the fourth innings. Bangladesh's target is 100 runs more.
Australia set a high target of 418 runs to West Indies in the 4th Test in 2003. In response, the Caribbean won by 3 wickets. Which is the highest run chase win in the history of Test cricket so far. Where Shivnarine Chanderpaul became the man of the match after playing a great innings of 104 runs.
The second win was for South Africa. The Proteas set a target of 414 runs to Australia in the Perth Test in 2008. They won with 6 wickets in hand. De Villiers left the field winning the team from 106 runs unbeaten.
Before these two matches, the 1976 India-West Indies match occupied the first place. India got a target of 403 runs. In response, India won by 6 wickets.
Sunil Gavaskar (102) and Gundappa Viswanath (112) scored centuries in the last innings. It is currently ranked third.
Earlier in 1948 in Leeds Test, England set Australia a target of 404 runs. But Australia won with 7 wickets in hand. Australia's legendary cricketer Arthur Morris played an innings of 182 runs in the opening.
On the other hand, Donald Bradman left the field after winning the team with 173 runs unbeaten. This win is the fourth position.
Bangladesh is involved in the history of the fifth test match. The Tigers set West Indies a target of 395 runs in Chattogram Test in 2021. West Indies won with 3 wickets in hand.
One of the heroes of that victory was Kyle Mayers. This left-handed batsman gave victory to the team by playing an unbeaten innings of 210 runs.
So, the Bangladeshi Tigers will have to do something different to beat India in the Chennai Test. Let's see how far the Shanto's team can go.
