The Indian cricket team are currently touring Bangladesh. The first match was played on May 10, the first of three ODIs with India defeating Bangladesh by 5 wickets - less than two months after Bangladesh shocked India by defeating them by 5 wickets in the World Cup, leading to India's early exit from the competition. India completed the series win with a steady 46 run win, thanks largely in part to Gautam Gambhir's century. The third match was abandoned due to intermittent rain, resulting in a waterlogged pitch - brought on largely in part due to Cyclone Akash which had hit south Bangladesh earlier that day.[1] Leading run scorer of the ODI series and Indian wicket-keeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni took home the player of the series award following a return to form with the bat and 3 dismissals behind the stumps.
The series will culminate on May 29, 2007 with the conclusion of the second Test.

3rd ODI
The pitch was washed out due to heavy rain from the previous two days, along with heavy winds from Cyclone Akash taking their toll on the ground conditions.[1] Four and a half hours after the planned start time the umpires called off the match, anticipating another 2 hours from 13:00 (BST) would be needed - not leaving enough time for the minimum of 20 overs each to be played.[17] The presentation of awards, including most wickets taken (picked up by Syed Rasel of Bangladesh), most runs scored and player of the series (both won by Mahendra Singh Dhoni of India), were handed out at the ground later in the day.
