Mehidy’s valiant knock of 100 not out off 83 balls was the biggest reason for Bangladesh posting a total of over 250 as Indian bowlers had the hosts reduced to 69/6 at one stage. Mehidy then stitched a 148-run stand with Mahmudullah, who scored 77 off 96, to help Bangladesh go into the break with a solid total on the board.

In fact, Mehidy is only the second player in ODIs after Ireland’s Simi Singh to score a hundred batting at No 8 or lower spot.

In the first ODI, Mehidy had scored 38 not out off 39 and made 51 together with Mustafizur Rahman to help Bangladesh secure an incredible one-wicket win after they were down to 136/9 in the chase of a 187-run target.

69-6 to 271-7 is a special effort. These could be two career changing games for Mehidy Hasan Miraz.
