Wicket-keeper batter Litton Das was confident and believes Bangladesh are well-positioned in the match but it will be a challenging task for the Tigers to defend 100 runs to win the Dhaka Test.

Bangladesh spinners trapped India in spin-web as they reduced the mighty sub-continent to 45-4 on day three, in the chase of a 145-run target.

"Of course, it is possible to win. If we can take one or two wickets in the morning, it is definitely possible to win. No matter how many wickets you have in hand, no matter how well a batter is, if you don't have wickets in hand, you can't do anythingt. But,there is Rishabh, and Iyer. Of course they are good players, but will be under pressure,” said Liton.

Liton was instrumental in helping Bangladesh's set a target closer to 150 which looked unlikely when his side was reduced to 113-6. Liton hit 78 while Zakir Hasan made 51 as Bangladesh were bowled out for 231 in their second innings. Liton was confident about their elusive Test win against India.

"Of course, we are ahead at the moment. They are stressed. If we go into the field with a good plan, they will collapse. That is our goal,” he said.

"We know, it's always difficult to play the fourth innings in Mirpur. For all batters. We wanted to set a target of 200-220. They still are required 100 more runs. It’s very difficult,” he added.
