Yashasvi Jaiswal got another half-century, helping India to a 2-0 series sweep over Bangladesh, claiming a seven-wicket win in what had looked like it would be an unlikely victory in a rain-affected second test. (Highlights | Scorecard | More Cricket News)
After setting a new first-innings run-rate record on day four, having lost two days to rain,♍ India followed it up wi♍th another strong performance on Tuesday.
Bangladesh started the day on 26-2, but𝓡 with India's bowlers in fine form, they struggled to really get going, even with Shadman Islam bringing up a half-century.
Ravindra Jadeja (3-34) and Jaspri♎t Bumrah (3-17) stunted any moment🍷um as Bangladesh suffered a collapse of 7 for 55 and were bowled out for 146.
That left India with a target of 95, which they cruised to in j🌼ust over an hour, despite losing three wickets in the chase.
Jaiswal👍 set them on their way with a 🌸45-ball 51, but it was Rishabh Pant (4) who hit the winning runs to get India over the line.
