India Clinches Series Win Over Bangladesh in Second ODI

India, 22 December 2025 — India secured a series victory against Bangladesh by winning the second One Day International (ODI) match at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on Thursday. The Indian team chased down a target of 275 runs with five wickets in hand and two overs to spare.

Shubman Gill played a pivotal role in India's triumph, scoring an impressive 112 runs, his fourth ODI century. Support from captain Rohit Sharma, who contributed 73 runs, bolstered India's successful chase. Earlier, Bangladesh posted a competitive total of 274 for 8, with Litton Das top-scoring for the hosts with 94 runs.

The Indian bowling attack, led by Mohammed Siraj, who took three wickets, contained the Bangladeshi batsmen effectively in the middle overs. Kuldeep Yadav also played a significant role, picking up two crucial wickets.

With this win, India takes an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series. The final match is scheduled for Saturday, where India will aim for a clean sweep. This series marks an important preparation phase for the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup next year.

The victory underscores India's dominant form in ODI cricket, particularly in subcontinental conditions, and highlights the team's depth in both batting and bowling departments.
