INDIA WON BY 87 RUNS in 1st ODI – India vs Bangladesh – 1st ODI ICC World Cup 2011 ,Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur, Bangladesh, 19 February

Shere Bangla National Stadium




One of the bigger stadiums of Bangladesh with a seating capacity of 25000 was established in 2006. The first test was played a year later between Bangladesh and India from May 25-27, 2007 and the first ODI was played between the home team and Zimbabwe on December 8, 2006. Although the shift from Bangabandhu to Mirpur was met with much anger, but Bangladesh needed a stadium reserved exclusively for cricket. The ground has excellent drainage facilities and the grassless plot next to the stadium is a ground for children to play with a tape-tennis ball every evening and morning.

Bangladesh and Elected to Field first

India Batting : 370/4 (50) Run Rate: 7.4


Virender Sehwag 175 (140 balls )

A tired Sehwag departs! A scintillating knock comes to an end. 175 off just 140 balls. He raises his bat while returning back as the Bangladeshi crowd applauds his effort. Fullish delivery outside off, he just plays it back onto his stumps off the inside edge. Kohli makes it a point to pat his Delhi team-mates back. Brilliant innings!


Sachin Tendulkar 28 (29 balls)

That is disaster for India! The Mirpur crowd is up on their feet, seeing the Little Master walk back. Tendulkar just plays it towards mid-wicket and charges to the opposite end, Sehwag is ball-watching and doesn’t even move. Both the openers are stranded at the same end and the bails are off. Tendulkar doesn’t even bother watching back as he makes his way out of the center. India one down!

Gautham Gambhir 39(39 balls)

Mahmudullah strikes in his first over! Gambhir departs after a steady knock. It was the straighter one, came in a touch after pitching, Gambhir tried whipping it away but missed after getting an inside edge and the ball went on to disturb the wooden framework. India lose their second wicket.

Virat Kohli 100 (83 balls)

Yusuf Pathan 8 (10 balls)

Mahmudullah strikes in his first over! Gambhir departs after a steady knock. It was the straighter one, came in a touch after pitching, Gambhir tried whipping it away but missed after getting an inside edge and the ball went on to disturb the wooden framework. India lose their second wicket.

Fall of Wickets: 1-69 (Sachin Tendulkar, 10.5 Over) 2-152 (Gautam Gambhir, 23.2 Over) 3-355(Virender Sehwag, 47.3 Over) 4-370 (Yusuf Pathan, 50 Over)

Bangladesh Batting : 283/9 (50) Run Rate: 5.70

Tamim Iqbal 70(86 balls)

Munaf strikes as Iqbal departs! A steady innings, unlike Iqbal, comes to a soft end. Length ball on the middle, the left-hander swats it straight to the man at mid-wicket. Yuvraj takes the catch and the Indians celebrate. Bangladesh three down!

Imrul Kayes 34(29 balls)

Bowled ‘em! Kayes chops it on. Patel is delighted. The cameo was short-lived. Length ball wide outside off, Kayes cuts and gets an inside edge onto the stumps. This is a big wicket for the Indians.

Zunaed Siddique 37(52 balls)

Siddique is smartly stumped by Dhoni. Bangladesh lose their second wicket. Harbhajan is rewarded for his fine bowling effort. Flighted delivery, lands outside off and turns away to beat the outside edge. Dhoni collects the ball and whips the bails off in a flash. They appeal but Dhoni didn’t seam confident as it was referred upstairs. Though, the backfoot was on the line and hence OUT was flashed on the giant screen. Pin drop silence in the stands.

Shakib Al Hasan 55(50 balls)

Shakib departs! The party is over, says Ravi Shastri (on air). Length ball, the left-hander slogs it straight down the throat of Harbhajan at deep mid-wicket. He takes the catch, turns to the crowd, keeps the ball inside his pocket and bows to the audience! Pathan is ecstatic as the crowd is stunned in silence!

Mushfiqur Rahim 25(30 balls)

Rahim exits in his attempt to accelerate in the powerplay. A cleverly bowled slower delivery by Zaheer, outside off, Rahim plays it uppishly through the covers but fails to get the desired elevation. Raina takes a simple catch leaping up. Bangladesh look completely out now.

Roqibul Hassan 28 (28 balls)

Mahmudullah 6 (6 balls)

Naeem Islam 2(8 balls)

Abdur Razzak 1(5balls)

Shafiul Islam 0 (1 ball)
