India needs just 95 runs on day 5 to clinch the series 2-0 against Bangladesh in Kanpur. Scoring 287 runs in the first Innings, India scalped Bangladesh for 233 runs, taking a 74-run lead.
Then, India bowled out Bangladesh for 146 runs, giving India a paltry 95 runs to win on the penultimate day. For India, pacer Bumrah and spinners R Ashwin and Jadeja took three wickets each.
The latest session was thrilling, with India dominating comfortably. Ashwin struck early, dismissing first-innings centurion Mominul cheaply. Shadman and Shanto showed resilience, combining caution with aggression to add a quick 50+ stand.

However, the Bangladesh skipper’s poorly executed reverse sweep against Jadeja triggered a collapse. Bangladesh went from 91/3 to 94/7, with Jadeja taking three wickets and Akash Deep dismissing Shadman. Bumrah returned to claim two more wickets.
When it seemed Mushfiqur and Khaled would take Bangladesh to lunch with nine wickets down, Mushfiqur played a reckless shot and lost his middle stump. With 62 overs remaining, India has ample time to chase the target.
