India vs Bangladesh 1st ODI Live Score and Updates: Follow IND vs BAN live action at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka
After a rain-marred New Zealand series, India is all set to face Bangladesh in a three-match ODI series. While the Shikar Dhawan-led Men in Blue could not win the ODI series against the Kiwis, it was a relatively new side. Now, against the neighbors, it will mark the return of familiar names in captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul.
The Indian team has played many games that got interfered with by rain. Even during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, their game against Bangladesh saw rain play a spoilsport.
However, this time around, rain is unlikely to stop play and Indian fans can anticipate clear skies in Dhaka. According to Accuweather's forecast for December 4, it shows that there is no possibility of rain in Dhaka and the temperature will be near 29 degrees Celsius, which is always favorable and perfect for playing cricket.
Drop catch by KL Rahul proved to be expensive, Bangladesh win the match by 1 wicket.
A roller coaster of a game and India, who looked to lose the game after the score they posted, however, they did bring the game back in their favour but lost by just one wicket.
IND 186 (41.2)
BAN 187/9 (46)
India are a wicket away from winning this ODI out of nowhere.
Hasan Mahmud lbw b Siraj 0(2)
Two wickets on debut. The batter hopped back and his legs hit the stumps. It was a quick ball and Ebadot Hossain has to go.

While Bangaldesh looked at one point to win the game, things have started to change.
Kuldeep Sen gets his maiden ODI wicket. It was a fuller ball and Afif Hossain looked to slice it. However, Siraj, who juggled the ball a few times, managed to hold on to it.
Afif Hossain c Siraj b Kuldeep Sen 6(12)
Partnership is broken and both batter Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim depart.
Stunner from Virat Kohli. It was a flighted delivery and Shakib is deceived in the air. The ball dips on him and he hits it uppishly towards cover.
But no, Kohli was right there and he flings to his right and plucks it out with one hand.
Shakib c Kohli b Washington Sundar 29(38) [4s-3]
BAN 95/3 (23)
Bangladesh need 92 runs
Team India has managed to finally dismiss captain Litton Das. It is a soft dismissal. Das shuffles across to work it into the leg-side but the ball spins, kisses the bat and KL Rahul moves to his left to glove the ball.
Litton Das c Rahul b Washington Sundar 41(63) [4s-3 6s-1]
The ball tucked off the pads and was taken by Washington Sundar at mid-wicket.
Anamul c Washington Sundar b Siraj 14(29) [4s-2]
Bangladesh 26/1 (9)
Bangladesh need 161 runs
What a dream start for India. That took the edge after the nice shape and Rohit Sharma behind the sticks, did not make any errors.
Shanto c Rohit b Chahar 0(1)
Not the score India expected. Bangladesh invited India to bat after winning the toss and got the wickets in quick succession.
IND 186 (41.2)
Dangerman KL Rahul departs and that is what Bangladesh wanted. The bounce in this pitch helped bowler Ebadot Hossain.
KL thought he could pull this for six, but the ball bounced too much and took the top edge. The fielder at fine leg was perfectly in position and took it nicely for a low catch. India hopes of crossing 200 are now slim.
Rahul 73(70) [4s-5 6s-4]
Shakib Al Hasan has made batting difficult for the Indians and wickets kepts falling. While Ebadot Hossain sent back Shahbaz Ahmed 0(4), Shardul Thakur 2(3) and Deepak Chahar 0(3) were sent back by Shakib.
KL Rahul is trying to hold fort (56* off 59) along with Mohammed Siraj (2* off 2),
IND 159/8 (36)
The short ball has become an achilles heel for Shreyas Iyer and that's what Ebadot Hossain did. He kept bowling short of length and finally got Iyer to depart. Shreyas Iyer c Mushfiqur b Ebadot Hossain 24(39) [4s-2]
Shakib Al Hasan is doing wonders with the ball as he got two batters - Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli - out.
Rohit played outside the line looking to defend, but the ball sneaked past the inside edge and crashed into middle and leg. Rohit b Shakib 27(31) [4s-4 6s-1],
As for Kohli, it was a stunner at cover. Litton Das went into a full diving mode to his right to pluck this out of the air. Virat Kohli also looked stunned at that piece of fielding. Kohli c Litton Das b Shakib 9(15) [4s-1],
Mehidy Hasan Miraz had troubled Shikhar Dhawan in the last over and kept the pressure on. So, this time, he tried the reverse sweep, but misses and it hits him on the chest. Unfortunately it hits the hand as well and goes back onto the stumps.
Dhawan b Mehidy Hasan Miraz 7(17) [4s-1]
BCCI have tweeted that Axar Patel was not available for selection today. Rishabh Pant has been released from the squad and will join the team for the Tests.
