After rain disrupted play on the opening day, fears of another washout loomed large. Thankfully, clear skies allowed cricket fans at the Bangabandhu Stadium to witness an entertaining contest. Bangladesh, powered by a blistering 66 off 52 balls from Akram Khan and solid support from *Naimur Rahman (39)**, posted a competitive 249 in 50 overs. The total was inflated by a late assault on an Indian bowling attack that struggled for rhythm and control. India’s chase began in explosive fashion. Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly launched a brutal assault, tearing apart the Bangladeshi bowling inside the Powerplay. Tendulkar’s 36 off just 25 balls included a devastating over that yielded 23 runs, before he was caught attempting another aggressive stroke. From there on, it was Ganguly’s night. Displaying supreme authority, timing, and trademark lofted shots over midwicket, the Indian skipper dominated the innings. Supported briefly by Hemang Badani (35) and later by a composed *Mohammad Azharuddin (35)**, Ganguly ensured there were no further hiccups. Unbeaten on 135, Ganguly calmly steered India home, helping them open their campaign in the seventh Asia Cup with a comfortable win and reminding everyone why he was one of the most impactful captains and batsmen of his era. #indvsban #cricketmax #highlights #thriller #souravganguly
