15:07 Local Time, 09:07 GMT, 14:37 IST: What an afternoon for Bangladesh. They won the toss, asked India to bat with some tackiness around and the spinners wiped out the top three quickly. Ebadot used pace and bounce on this pitch to join Shakib's party and the duo shared 9 wickets between them. Now about Shakib. You look at the scorecard and think the pitch would have helped him. But it wasn't exactly spinning much, if at all was stopping on the batter slightly. You think it's just the slider but his releases are different. Some wide, some very slingy and low. And he is very smart with his lines too. Gets some turn on occasions. The Indian batters had no clue. Clearly they were concerened in their mind about the arm ball. Some played outside the line, some played inside the line and he got five of them with the ball pitching almost in a similar area. Now to get five batters from almost the same area is some skill. It was no surprise that Shakib today recorded best figures by a left-arm spinners against India in ODIs.
