CRICKET// Two-time world champions India managed to grab a face-saving 77-run victory against Bangladesh in the third and the last one-day international, in Mirpur, saving themselves from the embarrassment of a humiliating whitewash. The beleagured team is set to return home on a winning note following an embarrassing 2-1 series loss. The Indian team has drawn a lot of flak after failing to put up a fight and losing their first-ever series to a much-improved Bangladesh team. Dhoni’s Men in Blue were outplayed by Bangladesh in every department of the game in the first two ODIs. The biggest takeaway from the series is that the Bangla Tigers are no longer minnows of the game as they have upped their game a few notches. But it remains to be seen if they can emulate such performance in the future.
