Zaheer rocks as India whitewash Bangladesh


DHAKA, Jan 27 (IANS): Zaheer Khan's seven-wicket burst in the second innings rocked Bangladesh as India won the second cricket Test by 10 wickets, and with it took the series 2-0, on the fourth day at the Sher-e-Bangla national stadium here Wednesday.

The resolve shown by the Bangladesh batsmen a day before, when opener Tamim Iqbal struck a defiant 155 and Junaid Siddique 55, was not to be seen this day as the hosts crumbled from a comfortable 290 for three to 312 all out minutes after lunch. India needed just two runs in their second innings to win and completed the formalities with two byes.
