Ind vs Ban: Not a single ball could be bowled on the second and third day due to rain
Due to rain and wet outfield at the Green Park Stadium, not a single ball could be bowled on the second and third days, but despite this, India was successful in winning the match comfortably on the fifth day.

On the fourth day, after bowling out Bangladesh for 233 runs in the first innings, India, batting in T20 style, declared its first innings by scoring 285 runs for nine wickets in 34.4 overs. Bangladesh lost two wickets in the last session on the fourth day and before lunch on the fifth day, its second innings was reduced to 146 runs. After this, India achieved the target of 95 runs in the second session.
Rohit said- we wanted to get out as soon as possible
Rohit Sharma said after the match, after missing two and a half days due to rain, when we came on the field on the fourth day, we wanted to get him out as soon as possible and see what we could do with the bat. When they got out for 230, it was not about the runs we scored but how many overs we bowled to them. It was a great effort to get a result on this pitch. It was a risk we were willing to take because when you try to bat like that you can get out on a low score. But we were ready for it, even if we got out for 100-120 runs.
