Bangladesh failed to put up any competition in the two-match Test series against India. However, the Tigers aimed to bounce back in the T20 series. Despite their hopes, Bangladesh couldn’t stand up to the reigning T20 champions, as India thrashed them by 7 wickets in the first match. On Sunday, October 6, in Gwalior, Bangladesh set a target of 128 for India after batting first. India comfortably chased it down with 49 balls and 7 wickets in hand, taking a 1-0 lead in the T20 series. Indian openers Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson started strong in the chase. Abhishek was run out for 16 off 7 balls, but Suryakumar Yadav came in and quickly added runs with boundaries. With the help of their top-order batsmen, India cruised towards victory. Despite Indian captain Suryakumar getting out after scoring 29 off 14 balls, Samson contributed 29 off 19 balls. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Hardik Pandya then took charge. In the end, Nitish's 16 runs and Pandya's explosive 39 off 16 balls led India to a comfortable win, securing victory with 49 balls and 7 wickets to spare. For Bangladesh, Mustafizur Rahman and Mehidy Hasan Miraz each took one wicket. Earlier, Bangladesh, after losing the toss and being asked to bat, had a shaky start. Liton Kumar was dismissed for 4 runs, while fellow opener Parvez Emon managed just 8 runs off 9 balls. Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto and Towhid Hridoy tried to stabilize the innings. Despite their efforts, Hridoy was caught out after scoring 12 off 18 balls. Veteran Mahmudullah couldn’t make an impact either, getting out for just 1 run. When Zakir Ali Anik fell for 8 off 6 balls, Bangladesh found themselves in trouble at 57/5. After Shanto’s dismissal for 27 off 25 balls, Mehidy Hasan Miraz held on, but the lower order crumbled. Rishad (11), Taskin (12), Shoriful (0), and Mustafizur (1) all fell quickly, leaving Bangladesh all out for 127 with just one ball remaining. Miraz remained unbeaten on 35 off 32 balls.

Key Highlights: Brazil crowned world champions for a record-extending sixth time after a 2-1 victory against Argentina The first all-CONMEBOL FIFA Futsal World Cup™ final took place in Tashkent, Uzbekistan Ukraine defeated France earlier in the evening in the battle for bronze   The curtain came down on the tenth edition of the FIFA Futsal World Cup Uzbekistan 2024™ in dramatic style, as Brazil made history in Tashkent by beating Argentina 2-1 to win a record-extending sixth title, adding to the ones they claimed in 1989, 1992, 1996, 2008 and 2012. In a historic final – the first between two teams from South America – Ferrão (5'47") and Rafael (12'34") gave Brazil a 2-0 half-time lead before Argentina ended a period of incessant pressure by pulling one back through Matías Rosa (38’00”). Brazil clung on for a dramatic last two minutes to hand Argentina, the champions in 2016, a second successive Final defeat and only their second loss in their last 21 FIFA Futsal World Cup matches. Brazil, who have won five out of they six finals they have appeared in, finished the tournament with seven wins from seven games and only six goals conceded, their best-ever defensive performance.  The evening began with the third-place playoff, which ended with Ukraine claiming bronze and their best-ever FIFA Futsal World Cup finish; with a 7-1 victory against France – who were making their first ever appearance at the Finals.  Despite ending with familiar winners – the tenth edition of futsal’s greatest competition was a tournament of firsts. It was the first time FIFA had staged an event in Central Asia; with more than 150,000 fans attending the games spread between the three host cities of Tashkent, Andijan and Bukhara.  The tournament – which featured 24 teams from all six confederations – was also broadcast or streamed live in over 175 territories around the world – as the popularity of the game of futsal continues to grow at an exponential rate. It was also the first time four nations took to courts on the highest stage of them all – as New Zealand, Tajikistan and Afghanistan joined France in competing in the FIFA Futsal World Cup for the first time.

The Rangpur Riders, a team from the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), have been given the opportunity to participate in the Global Super League, which will be held in Guyana, West Indies, featuring teams from five countries. The Global Super League is set to begin on November 26, with the final scheduled for December 7. Guyana Amazon Warriors will represent the West Indies, while teams from England, Australia, Pakistan, and Bangladesh will also participate. Although Fortune Barishal, the current BPL champions, initially had the chance to join the tournament, they declined due to insufficient time to form a team. Runners-up Comilla Victorians also opted out of the upcoming BPL season. As a result, the opportunity has been passed to the semifinalist Rangpur Riders. Speaking to the media on October 7, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) President Faruk Ahmed said, "The Global Super League will feature five teams from five countries: Bangladesh, Pakistan, the West Indies, England, and Australia. We've been invited, and it’s likely that Rangpur Riders, the BPL semifinalists, will represent Bangladesh." In the Global Super League, all teams will play against each other in the group stage, with the top two advancing to the final. Meanwhile, Bangladesh is scheduled to play a Test series against the West Indies from November 22 to December 4, followed by three ODIs and three T20 matches.

Mohammedan Sporting Club Limited, a team from the Bangladesh Premier League, has received an invitation to participate in India's prestigious IFA Shield tournament. The tournament is set to take place from November 9 to 21. Last year, both Mohammedan and Bashundhara Kings were invited to play in the IFA Shield, but neither team participated due to domestic league commitments. This year, only Mohammedan has been invited. If Mohammedan participates, they will be the only club from outside India in this year’s edition of the IFA Shield. The club sees the tournament as an opportunity to prepare for the upcoming season, according to Mohammedan's Director and Football Committee Secretary, Abu Hasan Chowdhury Prince. He stated, “On Wednesday, we received a formal invitation from the IFA organizers. The chairman of our football committee has given the green light, and I’ve discussed it with our manager, Imtiaz Ahmed Nakib. We are going to participate. The IFA has requested us to submit a list of 24 members. We plan to send a squad of 22 players along with 8 coaches and officials, and we will confirm our participation within two days.”

Shakib Al Hasan, the best cricketer in Bangladesh, was nominated by the Awami League in the last 12th National Parliament election.  However, he was heavily criticized for entering politics before the end of his cricket career. Many people asked why Shakib joined politics. What is his purpose? Shakib himself has revealed the real reason for joining politics, although he has been silent on this matter for a long time. This former member of parliament of Awami League clarified his political position through this post on his verified Facebook page on Wednesday (October 9). In the post, Shakib wrote, "I was a Member of Parliament for Magura-1 constituency for a very short time. My involvement in politics was basically to get an opportunity for the development of the people of my birthplace Magura." He also wrote, "You all know that in the context of Bangladesh, it is a bit difficult to play a direct role in the development of one's area without any specific responsibility and political position. My desire to develop this area makes me interested in becoming a Member of Parliament. Shakib wants to retire from cricket with the upcoming South Africa Test. So there is fear about returning to the country. He clarified his political position to get security assurance from the government.

Argentina were held to a 1-1 draw by Venezuela on Lionel Messi's return as Brazil got their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign back on track with a last-gasp 2-1 victory over Chile on Thursday. Bss News. Messi, who missed Argentina's last round of fixtures in September due to injury, looked to have put the world champions on course for victory after his free-kick helped set up Nicolas Otamendi's 13th-minute opener in the Venezuelan city of Maturin. But a battling performance by Venezuela in front of their home fans was rewarded midway through the second half when veteran striker Salomon Rondon met Yeferson Soteldo's cross with a header that flew past Argentina goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli. Despite the dropped points, 2022 World Cup winners Argentina remains firmly on course for a place at the 2026 finals, which are being staged in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. With the tournament expanded to 48 teams, the top six finishers in South America's 10-team round-robin qualifying competition will earn a ticket to the finals. Argentina leads the standings with 19 points from nine games, three points clear of second-placed Colombia, who suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Bolivia in other qualifying action on Thursday. Yet while Argentina looks poised to qualify comfortably, rivals Brazil continue to make hard work of their qualifying campaign. Chile, who are one place off the bottom of the standings, rocked Brazil after just two minutes when veteran striker Eduardo Vargas steered a looping header over Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson to make it 1-0. But Brazil drew level in first-half stoppage time after Savinho worked himself into space before crossing for Botafogo forward Igor Jesus to head home. The match looked destined to finish in a draw until the 89th minute, when Brazil substitute Luiz Henrique arrowed in a low shot from the edge of the area to make it 2-1. The win moves Brazil into fourth place in the standings with 13 points from nine games, six points adrift from leaders Brazil. - Bolivia boost – Elsewhere Thursday, Bolivia boosted their hopes of a first World Cup appearance since 1994 with their gutsy 1-0 win over Colombia in a game played in the thin air of El Alto, which is situated at around 4,150m (13,600 feet) above sea level. A superb individual goal from Miguel Terceros handed the Bolivians their fourth victory in qualifying and vaulted them up into the automatic qualification positions. Bolivia's fortunes have taken a dramatic upturn since the team started playing qualifiers in El Alto, which is just over 500m higher than the Bolivians' usual home venue of the Estadio Hernando Siles in nearby La Paz. Bolivia opted to move fixtures to El Alto after losing two out of their opening three home qualifiers in La Paz last year. The move has paid off, with Thursday's 1-0 win coming after a 4-0 rout of Venezuela at the same venue in September. After claiming a shock 2-1 win away to Chile last month, Bolivia are now sitting in sixth place in the South American standings with 12 points from nine games. Terceros's winning goal arrived in the 58th minute, with the 20-year-old winger who plays for Brazilian club Santos cutting in from the right flank, shimmying past Colombian defenders Jhon Lucumi and Kevin Castano and unleashing a left-footed thunderbolt that flew into the top corner. Bolivia are level on points with Ecuador, who finished the day in fifth place in the table after a 0-0 draw with Paraguay in Quito.
