Zakir Hasan, 24, has been rewarded for his exceptional performance in the longer form of cricket. He will join the Bangladesh Test squad for the first time in the Tigers' first match against India starting on December 14 in Chattogram. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced the 17-member squad on Thursday evening. Tamim Iqbal will not be a part of the squad due to a groin injury that sidelined him prior to the ODI series. In his absence, Liton Das will lead the Tigers. Last week, Zakir put on a remarkable display by scoring 173 runs that saved an unofficial Test for the Bangladesh A team against India A in Cox's Bazar.

He scored 442 runs at an average of over 56, a remarkable feat in Bangladesh's biggest first-class cricket event. Zakir could be an asset for Bangladesh in the longer format of cricket. He scored over 4,000 runs from 68 first-class matches at an average of 41.52, with 13 centuries and 14 fifties. His List-A record is also impressive, with two centuries and 16 half-centuries from just 94 matches and an average of 28.86. However, the 24-year-old has not been as successful in the T20s as in other formats, scoring 708 runs from 62 matches at an average of 17.70. While Zakir got his maiden call-up, Mushfiqur Rahim, Taskin Ahmed and Yasir Ali made a return to the Test team. Mushfiqur missed the last series as he performed hajj; Taskin and Yasir were injured.

When Miraz does something wonderful, the word ‘Miracle’ comes into the newspaper heading. Maybe because it matches the name. As the name is Mehidy Hasan Miraz, ‘Miraz Miracle’ means that this cricketer of the Bangladesh team has done something surprising with the ball or the bat. But whether the word ‘miracle’ is used or not, in 2022, the ‘wonder boy’ Miraz is giving birth to one wonder after another. The latest of which was seen yesterday (December 07, 2022) in the second ODI against India in Mirpur. Who is Mehidy Hasan Miraz? Let’s get to know his life and career. Early Life and Education Miraz was born on October 25, 1997, in Barisal. Although Miraz was born in Barisal, he grew up in Khulna with his family. He has four members in his family: father, mother, and younger sister. Father Md Jalal Hossain was an autorickshaw driver. Miraz’s father moved to Kashipur in Khulna in search of work. And Miraz started his schooling at Kahsipur school. In that school, Miraz ran around with the ball with his friends, and cricket seemed to be more addictive than reading. Miraz has grown up under financial stress. He has been interested in playing cricket since childhood. However, he played cricket secretly as he did not get any support from his family. Miraz even had to be beaten by his father for playing cricket. But still, wonder boy had the determination to play cricket, and his mother supported him during that time. Read More: More confident as a batter now, says Mehidy after heroics against India Mehdi Hasan Miraz has progressed so far with the help of Md Al Mahmud, the coach of Kashipur Cricket Academy in Khulna. Miraz started his cricket schooling under him. According to Mahmud, he has been watching Miraz since the age of eight, and from that age, the boy had a keen interest in playing cricket. But Miraz was not in a position to play cricket at the academy as he did n't have financial support at that age. However, with the help of neighbor Russell Hossain, coach Al Mahmud started teaching wonder boy. Although Miraz’s economic condition was not good, seeing his strong will and brave mentality, Al Mahmud started training him. Now everyone knows Miraz! Like cricket, Miraz is also committed to his personal life. He married his long-time fiancée Rabeya Akhter Priti in 2019. Read More: Mehidy Miraz achieves 2 milestones with blazing century against India Early Career Mehdi Hasan Miraz got a chance in the under-14 team in the age-based selection from that academy. Miraz won Tk 25,000 as the best player in the U-14 tournament, and after that, his father did not stop him from playing. After the U-14 tournament, Miraz was also called up for the U-15 tournament. Then slowly, he started proving his worth. He got a chance to lead the team by getting a place in the under-19 team. And many people started to know the name Mehdi Hasan Miraz from the Under-19 World Cup tournament. After that, he got a place on the national team with his performance. Professional Cricket Career Mehidy Hasan Miraz came to the limelight after the end of Bangladesh’s Test series against England in 2016. He was only 19 years old, but at that age, he took 19 wickets in the debut series for the national team in two Tests. He took 7 wickets in his test career at Chittagong, including six wickets in the first innings. And then Miraz took 12 wickets in the second Test in Mirpur. Read More: Bangladesh escape Rohit scare to seal ODI series win against India After his astonishing performance, Mehdi Hasan was described as a new star in the national cricket team of Bangladesh, but the world has already seen his all-rounder achievement in cricket in the Under 19 World Cup. He led the Bangladesh team in the Under-19 Cricket World Cup and won the man of the match award in that tournament. It was just the beginning. In the last six years, Miraz has helped Bangladesh to win several matches. And one of the best performances came in the Bangladesh vs India ODI series in 2022. Miraz's Most Memorable Performances in Cricket 2022 has been a great year for Miraz. He contributed to Bangladesh’s incredible win over New Zealand in a test last January. He bowled 54 overs in two innings and took 4 wickets. Miraz did not let the New Zealand batsmen take runs. He was not far behind in the days when pacers were taking wickets in that game. Additionally, he scored 47 runs in the first innings, even after getting a chance to bat. Read More: Miraz stands tall again as Bangladesh post a challenging 271 vs India Then, Miraz was the hero of victory in the first match of the ODI series against Afghanistan in Chittagong the next month. Chasing 215 runs, the Bangladesh team lost 6 wickets for 45 runs. Bangladesh was destined to lose as the Afghans were destroying the batting lineup with their string bowling performance. But Miraz turned around with Afif Hossain. He left the field winning the team after adding 174 runs with Afif at eight and added 81 unbeaten runs next to his name. Miraz also contributed to Bangladesh’s first win on South African soil last March. He took 4 wickets in the field, which was not actually spinners-friendly. Now he is ending the year with a bang as he contributed to Bangladesh’s win against India in two consecutive ODI matches. Read More: 2nd ODI: Bangladesh struggle against dominant Indian bowlers Miraz’s Notable performance in BAN vs IND series in 2022 So Far In a span of four days, Miraz played in two different matches at two different times. After a fairly easy run chase on the first day after stumbling over a dramatic collapse, Miraz came as a savior. After losing 6 wickets for 69 runs with the bat in the first ODI, Bangladesh was about to lose the game. The two situations had one thing in common, “stress.” Handling that pressure in the first match with 38 runs from 39 balls and 100 from 83 balls in the next, Miraz has shown his class. It was Miraz’s first ODI century. Although the difference with respect to numbers is many, the “Miraz Miracle” of both matches is the same, win for Bangladesh. An eye-soothing performance like that in two consecutive matches against India can’t fail to be one of the most memorable moments of Miraz’s career. In these two matches against India, besides batting, he contributed with bowling as well. He gave the first breakthrough in the first match and got the wicket of India’s highest run scorer Shreyas Iyer in the second match as well. But at the end of the day, the batting performance should be more pleasant for him. Although these matches might not be very large as a data set, the impact of the performance of these two matches can be extensive. As Harsha Bhogle said in a tweet after Miraz’s batting, “69-6 to 271-7 is a special effort. These could be two career-changing games for Mehidy Hasan Miraz.” Read More: BAN vs IND: Tigers eye second consecutive win Final Words When the team is in the worst situation, Miraz dazzles with a stunning performance. His batting is now more dependable than ever. Bowling also has the ability to do well in all conditions. After Shakib Al Hasan, if anyone can be the complete all-rounder of the Bangladesh cricket team, Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s name comes first.

After masterminding two consecutive victories for Bangladesh against India and securing an ODI series win, Mehidy Hasan Miraz expressed his newfound confidence as a batter. In the second match of the series, Bangladesh beat India by five runs. Mehidy was the cornerstone of this win, as he struck his maiden ODI ton batting at number eight. Mehidy and Mahmudullah Riyad's 148-run seventh-wicket partnership enabled Bangladesh to post a challenging total of 271 runs. "It was an amazing moment for me. I never thought I would hit a century in this match, but I did it," Mehidy said. "I always work with our batting coach. And before getting into the national team, I was a batter during my age-level cricket and got guidance from our local coaches. I feel that the team management now trusts me as a batter." Bangladesh were stuttering at 69/6 before Mehidy and Mahmudullah put on a resilient 148-run partnership. Read more: Mehidy Miraz achieves 2 milestones with blazing century against India "We didn't have much in our mind," Mehidy said. "We wanted to stay calm and strict on our plan, and it helped us post a big total." It was Bangladesh's second ODI series win over India after 2015. The final match of the ODI series is scheduled for December 10 also at Chattogram. Both teams will then shift their focus to the two-match Test series, with the first match starting on December 14 in Chattogram and the second Test on December 22 in Dhaka.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz is in fantastic form right now. He has been proving everyone wrong by continuously putting on a brilliant display with the bat. After a match-winning knock in the first ODI against India, Mehidy Hasan came with even more aggression in the second match, hitting his first ODI hundred. With this century, Miraz has achieved two personal milestones. What milestones has Miraz accomplished by scoring a hundred against India? When Mehidy Hasan Miraz came to the crease, Bangladesh were 69/6 at the end of 19 overs. At that stage, everyone was understandably expecting Bangladesh’s innings to end in a low total like the first match. Read More: Bangladesh escape Rohit scare to seal ODI series win against IndiaBut a brilliant 148-run stand between Mehidy Hasan Miraz and the experienced Mahmudullah Riyad changed the scenario of Bangladesh’s innings completely. Riyad went back to the pavilion in the 47th over after playing a 77-run inning. Mehidy Miraz, on the other hand, remained unbeaten until the end with 100* and led Bangladesh to a challenging 271-run target to defend.Miraz was cautious initially but later came out with a lot of aggression against the Indian bowling lineup. His unbeaten 100* was achieved in 83 balls, with eight boundaries and four sixes.With this magnificent knock, Mehidy Miraz reached two milestones. He became the first Bangladesh player to score an ODI hundred while batting at No. 8 or lower. Besides, he is also the second player in history to score an ODI hundred while batting at No. 8. Ireland’s Simi Singh was the first cricketer to score an ODI hundred while batting at No. 8 against South Africa on July 16, 2021. Though his hundred went in vain eventually, Ireland lost the contest by 70 runs. Read More: Miraz stands tall again as Bangladesh post a challenging 271 vs India Top four highest individual innings (ODI) batting at no. 8 or lower Player Runs Opposition  Mehidy Hasan Miraz (Bangladesh) 100* India Simi Singh (Ireland) 100* South Africa Sam Curran (England) 95* India Chris Woakes (England) 95* Sri Lanka  Aftermath Mehidy Hasan Miraz has been in exceptional shape this year, especially with the bat. Miraz has demonstrated his improvement as a batter after reaching two new milestones with a hundred against India. The talented all-rounder also played two match-winning innings against one of the top teams in the world, providing a suitable response to his doubters.

Riding on another heroics of Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Bangladesh sealed an ODI series win against India on Wednesday at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, beating the visitors by five runs. Rohit Sharma came back to bat despite sustaining a blow that required him to visit a hospital and scored a 27-ball fifty to give Bangladesh a real scare. In the last three overs, India needed 40 runs. Mustafizur Rahman recorded a maiden over in the 48th over against Mohammad Siraj. Mahmudullah Riyad conceded 20 runs off the 49th over, with Rohit hitting him for two sixes as two catches were dropped by Ebadot Hossain and Anamul Haque Bijoy. Mustafizur came to bowl the 50th over and defended 20 runs despite Rohit smashing him for two fours and one six. It was the second straight win for Bangladesh in the series. Bangladesh won the first match by one wicket. On both occasions, Mehidy was the hero for Bangladesh. India began with a major setback in reply to Bangladesh's 271 as their opener, Rohit, was injured during Bangladesh's innings and was unable to start the innings. Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan were dismissed within the first three overs of the innings. To recover from the early loss of Virat and Shikhar, Shreyas Iyer took the responsibility of leading India. He paired up with Washington Sundar, Lokesh Rahul, and Axar Patel to steady the ship after the initial damage. Despite Washington and Lokesh being unable to provide the needed support, Axar scored an impressive 56 runs off 56 balls. The fifth-wicket partnership between Axar and Shreyas proved fruitful as they added more than 100 runs and brought India back into contention. However, Mehidy sent Shreyas back to the pavilion for 82 runs. By the 43rd over, India were reduced to 207/7. This was when Rohit made a surprising comeback to the field to join Deepak Chahar after Shakib Al Hasan dismissed Shardul Thakur. The Indian captain gave his all but failed to win the match as his team managed to score 266 for nine and lost the match by five runs. For Bangladesh, Ebadot Hossain took three wickets; Mehidy and Shakib bagged two wickets each.     Earlier, despite a poor performance by the top and middle orders, Mehidy and Mahmudullah powered Bangladesh to 271 runs. While Mahmudullah scored 77, Mehidy was not out for 100 off 83 balls— his best ODI innings— with eight fours and four sixes. After Bangladesh lost six wickets for 69 runs within 18 overs, Mehidy and Mahamudullah staged a remarkable recovery of 148 runs off 165 balls. Before their heroics, Siraj and Umran Malik gave Bangladesh a hard time after they elected to bat first. Also, Siraj put Bangladesh under pressure early on by taking the wickets of Anamul Haque Bijoy and Liton Das in quick succession. Umran then removed Najmul Hossain Shanto with a lethal 151kmph ball. Washington Sundar then poured more misery on Bangladesh by taking the wickets of Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Afif Hossain. When Bangladesh seemed to be heading toward collapse, Mehidy and Mahmudullah joined forces and rescued their team. Mehidy attacked the Indian bowling most in the last five overs when Bangladesh scored more than 60 runs — at an average exceeding 11. For India, Washington bagged three while Siraj and Umran shared four wickets among them. The final match of this series will be played on December 10 in Chattogram.

Despite a poor performance by the top and middle orders, Mehidy Hasan Miraz's maiden ODI hundred and Mahmudullah Riyad's effective knock guided Bangladesh to an impressive total of 271 runs in the second ODI against India in the three-match series in Mirpur. While Mahmudullah fell for 77, Miraz was not out, scoring 100* off 83 balls—his best innings in the format—with 8 fours and 4 sixes.  After Bangladesh lost six wickets for 69 runs within 18 overs, Miraz and Mahamudullah staged a remarkable partnership of 148 runs off 165 balls, propelling team Bangladesh to a challenging total of 260 runs. Their invaluable contribution gave Bangladesh a realistic chance of winning the match. Read more: Bangladesh win toss, batting first in 2nd ODI vs India Before Miraz and Mahamudullah's heroics, Mohammad Siraj and Umran Malik gave Bangladesh a difficult start to the innings after they elected to bat first. Thanks to their efforts with the ball, Bangladesh found themselves in a very precarious situation, requiring an unlikely recovery to set a decent total. Siraj put Bangladesh under pressure early on by taking the wickets of Anamul Haque Bijoy and Liton Das in quick succession. Umran then delivered a lethal 151 kmph fast ball, which Najmul Hossain Shanto failed to connect with, resulting in his off-stump being destroyed. Washington Sundar then compounded Bangladesh's misery by taking the wickets of Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Afif Hossain, with the latter going for a golden duck. This triple-strike gave India a huge advantage and left Bangladesh on the back foot. When Bangladesh seemed to be heading for a disastrous collapse, Miraz and Mahmudullah combined forces and rescued their team from the cliff edge. They put on an impressive partnership of 148 runs until Umran bowled a short-pitched delivery, which Mahmudullah failed to connect properly with and plucked a dolly to the wicket-keeper. Read more: 2nd ODI: Bangladesh struggle against dominant Indian bowlers Mahmudullah eventually closed off the innings with 77 off 96 balls, featuring seven boundaries, despite his poor form in the first match, leading to many questions being asked of him. Nevertheless, Bangladesh coach Russell Domingo showed faith in his batter's abilities, believing that Mahmudullah could deliver when it mattered most. Miraz continues to amaze the fans with his batting ability. He was the hero of Bangladesh in the first match that Bangladesh won from a lost position, and now he saved the Tigers from a batting collapse that looked inevitable at one point. Mehidy Hasan Miraz was most aggressive against Indian bowling in the last five overs, when Bangladesh scored more than 60 runs at an average of more than 11. Miraz managed to reach his first One-Day International century thanks to his attacking display, and Bangladesh got a total of 271 to challenge a strong Indian batting lineup. For India, Washington bagged three wickets, while Siraj and Umran shared four wickets between them.

Bangladesh are suffering a batting collapse, losing 6 wickets for just 69 runs, in 18 overs while batting first in the second ODI against India at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Wednesday (December 07, 2022). Mohammad Siraj bagged two wickets, while Umran Malik took one and Washington Sundar got the crucial breakthrough by removing Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Afif Hossain who scored a duck. Anamul Haque Bijoy was the first one to fall, as he was trapped LBW by Mohammad Siraj after facing a series of fuller deliveries, hitting two boundaries and scoring 11 off 9 balls. Read: Bangladesh win toss, batting first in 2nd ODI vs India Mohammad Siraj scalped the wicket of Bangladesh captain Liton Das with a well-executed good length inswinger, smashing his middle stumps. Liton made 7 runs off 23 balls, failing to get into a rhythm in the middle. Umran Malik sent Bangladesh into further turmoil as he removed Najmul Hossain Shanto with a 151 kmph fast delivery. Shanto might have anticipated a short delivery, yet it was not to be as he went for a drive to the cover unsuccessfully, losing his off-stump in the process. Bangladesh had come into the second match of the series looking to win it and take the lead, after narrowly winning the first game against India on December 06, 2022 by one wicket at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium. However, this batting collapse might bring a result that the Bangladeshi fans at Mirpur are not expecting at all. Read: BAN vs IND: Tigers eye second consecutive win

New Zealand women's team comfortably won a 20-over match against Bangladesh by a margin of 63 runs in a one-sided encounter in Dunedin. Sophie Amelia Kerr made the difference with an impressive innings of 48 off 31 balls, laced with five boundaries and scoring at an astonishing strike rate of 154.83. Captain Sophie Devine was the second-best batter for New Zealand scoring 47 off 33 balls with seven boundaries. But Suzie Bates (9), Lauren Down (6), Maddy Green (11) and Rebecca Burns (0) all failed to reach a double-digit for New Zealand Women. For Bangladesh, Marufa Akter, Salma Khatun, Nahida Akter, Fariha Trisna and Rabeya Khan were successful with the ball, as they shared the five wickets between them while two were trapped in run-out. Bangladesh women put up a tricky target, but their batting line-up couldn’t fire and they crumbled to 89/7 in 20 overs with Rumana Ahmed’s 25 being the top-scorer. Lea Tahuhu claimed 3/13 in her four overs, being the pick of the bowlers for New Zealand women. With this win, New Zealand completed a clean sweep over Bangladesh in the three-match T20I series. These teams will now lock horns in a three-match ODI series on December 11, 14 and 17 at Wellington, Napier, and Hamilton, respectively.  

Bangladesh have won the toss and opted to bat first in the second ODI of the three-match series against India on Wednesday at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.  Bangladesh won the first match of the series, riding on a Herculean effort from Mehidy Hasan Miraz in the 10th wicket stand shared with Mustafizur Rahman.  Read: BAN vs IND: Tigers eye second consecutive win Bangladesh bolstered their playing XI by adding Nasum Ahmed as a replacement for Hasan Mahmud, while India made two changes, introducing Umran Malik and Axar Patel in place of Shahbaz Ahmed and Kuldeep Sen. Bangladesh came into this match aiming to win the series, having previously won the initial match and gained an advantage in the series. The Tigers had previously won the 2015 bilateral ODI series against India which was also held in Bangladesh. And, India will surely give their all to make a return to the series. Read: Tigers eye to seal the series vs India Bangladesh (Playing XI): Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das(c), Anamul Haque, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Mahmudullah, Afif Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Nasum Ahmed, Ebadot Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(w), Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Mohammed Siraj, Umran Malik

The second match of the BAN vs IND ODI series will be held tomorrow. Bangladesh will be aiming to win their second consecutive match against India. By doing so, the Tigers have a chance to win their second successive home ODI series over India when the two sides meet at the SBNCS, Mirpur, on December 6. Masharfe Mortaza captained the Tigers to a historic ODI series win (2-1) over India seven years ago. This time, Litton Das, who is captaining the Bangladesh team, has an opportunity to repeat the feat. Bangladesh vs India 2022: Second ODI preview The team spirit of the Bangladesh squad has been absolutely high after snatching a 1-wicket victory over India in the first ODI on Sunday at the SBNCS. The way Bangladesh managed to beat India after finding themselves in a dire situation while chasing a low target will give them a real boost going into the second ODI. Read More: Is Mehidy Hasan Miraz best Bangladeshi all-rounder in 2022? Mehidy Hasan Miraz seems to enjoy shouldering extra responsibility in batting, as his revolution as a batter has been quite outstanding. Captain Litton Das had a good outing with the bat in the first match and will be important in anchoring the batting in the second match. Shakib Al Hasan and pacer Ebadot Hossain both had a good outing with the ball in the first match. They will definitely be key in tomorrow’s clash as well. Taskin Ahmed’s participation in this match is uncertain as he is yet to gain his full fitness. Therefore, Bangladesh will likely field the same playing XI in Wednesday’s clash against India. Bangladesh’s probable playing XI Top-Order: Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das (captain), Anamul Haque, Middle-Order: Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim (wicket-keeper), Mahmudullah Riyad, Afif Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Lower-Order: Hasan Mahmud, Mustafizur Rahman, Ebadot Hossain. India, on the other hand, should be furious after losing a contest in a very favorable situation. India took nine Bangladesh wickets for 136 while defending a low total of 186. At that stage, Bangladesh were 51 runs shy of the target. But a brilliant 10th wicket stand between Mehidy Miraz and Mustafizur Rahman frustrated the visitors. A strong Indian side taking part in the ongoing Bangladesh series. So, it was expected prior to the series that they would dominate Bangladesh. However, India’s batting line-up, which included the likes of Rohit, Virat, and KL Rahul, failed to perform to its full potential in the opening match. After a disappointing display, India may opt for a couple changes for the second match. But, more importantly, they may respond strongly, so Bangladesh should be prepared to face a roaring Indian side in this match. India’s probable playing XI Top-order: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Middle-Order: Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wicket-keeper), Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, Shardul Thakur, Lower-Order: Deepak Chahar, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Sen Bangladesh vs India: H2H ODI Record Bangladesh and India have met in 37 ODI matches. With 30 victories, India lead the head-to-head battle, while Bangladesh have six. Read More: Bangladesh vs India: Taskin uncertain for 2nd ODI How may the pitch behave in the second ODI at Mirpur’s SBNCS? The pitch will likely behave the same for the second ODI as it did for the first. The wicket will be slow, and spinners will get an extra advantage from it. Looking at the pitch, it may be another low-scoring affair. Bangladesh vs India 2022 second ODI: Match schedule The SBNCS in Mirpur will host the second One-Day International game between Bangladesh and India on Wednesday (December 7). The contest will begin at 12 p.m. (Bangladesh Standard Time). Bottom Line The MS Dhoni-led India team was stunned the last time they played a BAN vs IND bilateral ODI series in Bangladesh in 2015. The Rohit Sharma-led team has to make a strong recovery to win the final two games if they are to avoid suffering the same outcome this time. On the other hand, Bangladesh expect to suffocate the Indian team in the second successive game as well. Huge crowds are anticipated to gather tomorrow at SBNCS to witness another historic series triumph. Read More: Tigers eye to seal the series vs India
