What was expected to be a closely contested match turned out to be a rather one-sided affair

#1 Lack of intent

Bangladesh seemed to be overawed by the occasion as they put in a lacklustre display

The biggest mistake committed by Bangladesh today was the evident lack of intent. They were cruising at almost six an over after 20 overs but failed to capitalise on that and kept losing wickets. The batsmen were content in defending out the spinners but eventually, the approach led to their downfall.

With atleast 20-30 runs short, Bangladesh had to come in charging at the Indians with the ball but save for their big-hearted skipper, none of the other bowlers did justice to their talents. As has been the case with the side in big games, when it mattered Bangladesh could not make the step up.
