: Welcome once again. So, before further talks we are ready for the toss with two captains along with Ravi Shastri in the middle. Let's move over for the toss...

: Ladies and Gentlemen, Match 3 of the Idea Cup is about to begin and I have with me the two captains; Shakib Al Hasan for Bangladesh and MS Dhoni for India. MS has the coin, Shakib to call.

: Tails!

: It has come down as tails. Bangladesh have won the toss. So, Shakib what have you decided?

: We'll have a bat Ravi.

: Any particular reason for that?

: Pitch looks really good and conditions are perfect as well. We will look to post a good score and then try to defend it later.

: What is the composition gonna be like today for you?

: We have brought in Nafees in place of Imrul. And.... yeah one more change. Shahadat Hossain has been included in place of....one of the guys.

: Oh well, Good Luck for this one.

: Cheers Ravi!

: MS, happy to field first?

: Honestly, I would have batted first as well. But now, we have to field and we'll look to get them out cheaply.

: Changes in the team?

: Quite a few actually. Dinda, Mishra and Tyagi are all been given a chance today. Zak and Bhajji are rested while Sree has a minor injury. He should be alright for the next one though.

: So a completely new bowling attack....

: Yes, these youngsters have been performing well in the domestic and we have faith in them to stand and deliver for us.

: Good Luck to you as well MS.

: Thanks Ravi!

: So, the news is that Bangladesh have won the toss and they are gonna bat.

: There we go Sunny. Many changes in the indian squad. Good news?

: Surely. It's good to see the mindset changing. I'm looking forward to see the two young seamers bowl. Mishra will be the man to watch out as well.

: Bangladesh have also heard your word. Nafees in place of Imrul Kayes. Still no signs of Aftab Ahmed though...

: Nice they have got in Nafees. Aftab, I think should hope somebody to perform poorly today for him to get a place really. Both teams looking good. Will be interesting to see how this contest goes...

: Yes, well the match is about to start in a moment. It's the time for us to say good bye for now. I'd like to thank Sunny for being here with us. We'll back after the first innings for the mid-innings break. Here are the line-ups for the two teams today -

Hopefully the two openers will get them off to a good start, I reckon Bangladesh just might pull it off after a decent performance against Bangladesh.

Great use of the coin toss animation!

I always like this story updates. This story certainly is one of the best ones currently going on in this 'stories section'. I was desperately waiting for you to comeback,User2010 and now you have,hope you continue your good work as usual,Keep it up.

 

[Highlander999]

You certainly are a very talented graphics maker, mate, but more so, you're writing is fabulous. From personal experience, I know how long and arduous it is to post the pics and change the font for each person speaking, so respect for keeping it so neat, your hard work really does show

I have never even heard of this Dinda guy so will be interesting to see how he goes, but Bangla keeping with Ashraful is interesting.... I like Dhoni's faith on trusting his young bowlers from the domestic scene.

Good luck in the match and hope you cause an upset

Idea Cup 2010
Bangladesh Vs. India
ODI Match @ Sher-E-Bangla Stadium,Mirpur.​

Solid Beginning!​

A jam-packed Sher-E-Bangla stadium almost 3/4th filled by Bangladeshi fans and other part by the Indian fans waited in anticipation for the match to begin. During the toss, it was assured that all the fans have had their breakfast as they yelled the hell outta them and supported their respective teams. The cheer was even louder when the two Bangladeshi openers made their way to the centre.

It was Nafees who started bang-bang as he thrashed Nehra for two boundaries off his first over. Nafees was selected over Imrul Kayes and he was proving the decision right already. The excitement among the Bangla fans suddenly took off to a different level. Nafees was seen blushing over a proposal which was made by one of the Bangladeshi crowd.

While Nehra was taken to the cleaners and Nafees looked in touch of his life, Dinda was bowling like a dream and Iqbal seemed to have lost his plot. Ashok Dinda didn't seem to be too worried about the pressure of the international scene. Tamim Iqbal on the other hand was struggling with his timing and couldn't find the sweet-spot of his willow.

Ashish Nehra was pathetic to say the least. His bowling so far has looked out-of-sorts and Nafees has attacked him right from the word go. Dinda had managed to build the pressure on Iqbal but Nehra threw it away by giving him two lollies. Dhoni did show his faith in Nehra by keeping him on but to no effect.

The two batsmen are looking really good and well-settled at the crease. Credits to Dinda though for not allowing them to get away with it. Bangladesh are off to a pretty solid start and it will be interesting to see how these two build up on this. Can't really guess what tricks Dhoni has up his sleeves...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bangladesh 35/0(10) [Extras - 2]

S.Nafees* 21(28) [4 fours]
T.Iqbal 12(32) [2 fours]

Last Wicket -

A.Nehra* 0/27(5)
A.Dinda 0/8(5)

Nafees finding some form in this match. Tamim Iqbal playing slowly but maybe we can see a big innings from him. Nehra is going for plenty he needs to improve his line and length. Pitch seems to be a good one for batting 270 can be good score here against India. Again nice presentation mate.
