| 1.1 : 1.1: W Sundar to S Sarkar, FOUR! First boundary of the innings. Poor delivery to begin with. He drags it wide and short outside off, Soumya sees it and smacks it past the cover fielder for a boundary. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: J Unadkat to S Sarkar, SIX! First maximum of the innings. You cannot afford to bowl deliveries like these. Unadkat bowls it on the legs, Soumya sees the opportunity and flicks it with some timing over the square leg boundary for a maximum. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: J Unadkat to S Sarkar, OUT! Unadkat draws first blood. One shot too many for Soumya. He looks to flick a length ball on the stumps over the short fine leg fielder but instead gives it into the hands of Yuzvendra Chahal stationed over there. Good catch by the leggie as he dives forward to take it. Unadkat looks delighted. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: W Sundar to L Das, FOUR! Good shot by Das. Sundar tosses it up outside off, the batsman goes on one knee and sweeps it towards deep square leg for his first boundary. Just five runs came off that over. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: S Thakur to T Iqbal, FOUR! If you bowl deliveries like this with your field up then you'll get punished. A full delivery outside off stump, Iqbal leans into the drive and gets it past covers for another boundary. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: S Thakur to T Iqbal, FOUR! Back to back boundaries for Tamim. He comes dancing down the track to a back of a length delivery outside off and lofts it over the mid off fielder. Tamim looks to be in some attacking mood. |
| 4.6 : 4.6: S Thakur to T Iqbal, OUT! Thakur gets his man after an LBW referral overturned and being hit for two consecutive boundaries. He bangs it short and Tamim goes for the pull. He does not make proper connection with it and top edges it to Unadkat who completes a good catch at short fine leg. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: Y Chahal to M Rahim, FOUR! Good improvisation by the batsman. He sees that Chahal has been tossing it up outside off so decides to play the reverse sweep. He connects it well and the ball goes over the point region for a boundary. |
| 5.5 : 5.5: Y Chahal to M Rahim, FOUR! Two consecutive boundaries. Rahim slog sweeps a tossed up delivery towards deep mid wicket for a boundary. |
| 8.1 : 8.1: V Shankar to L Das, FOUR! Short and wide outside off, Das rocks on the back foot and punches it past covers for a boundary. |
| 8.4 : 8.4: V Shankar to M Rahim, SIX! That is huge! Shankar bangs it short on the leg stump, Rahim pulls it over mid-wicket for a maximum. |
| 8.5 : 8.5: V Shankar to M Rahim, OUT! India have a decision in their favour. Shankar bowls it wide outside off, Rahim tries to put bat to it but manages to find the bottom edge and the ball gets into keeper's gloves. The umpire gives a not out but Karthik asks for a referral immediately. Its not a no ball and there is clear indication on the hotspot that he has edge the ball. Rahim has to go back to the pavilion. |
| 10.5: V Shankar to Mahmudullah, OUT! Gone! The pressure of dot balls gets the better of the Bangladeshi skipper. Back of a length delivery outside off, Mahmudullah makes room to hit it inside out but ends up slicing it towards sweeper cover where Shardul Thakur comes a couple of steps ahead and takes an easy catch. Bangladesh dent further. |
| 12.6 : 12.6: S Thakur to S Rahman, FOUR! Ahh, the extra ball costs India a boundary here! Fuller in length and outside off, Rahman drives it on the up and splits the gap between extra cover and mid off. |
| 13.1 : 13.1: W Sundar to L Das, FOUR! 8 from the last two balls! Floated delivery around middle and off, Liton Das dances down the track and lofts it over mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 14.6 : 14.6: V Shankar to S Rahman, FOUR! Well played! Makes the most of the Free Hit! Walks across to a low full toss and paddles it over the short fine leg fielder for a boundary to end the over. 11 coming from the long, long over. |
| 15.1 : 15.1: Y Chahal to L Das, OUT! Chahal strikes! He comes back into the attack and breaks the stand that was starting to bloom a bit. He gives it a good flight, lands it around middle and off. Liton Das skips down the track to go big but the ball turns away a bit which made him reach out to that one. Mistimes it high in the air towards long off and Raina takes it with ease by coming a couple of steps ahead. |
| 16.2 : 16.2: J Unadkat to S Rahman, FOUR! Much-needed! Short and a bit of width on offer, Sabbir Rahman pounces on it as he flashes it through point for a boundary. |
| 16.4 : 16.4: J Unadkat to M Hasan, OUT! Easy take for Pandey! Unadkat with an excellent slower length delivery on middle and off, Mehedi Hasan backs away to have a thwack across the line but all he manages is to sky it up in the air towards long on where Manish Pandey takes it safely. |
| 18.1 : 18.1: J Unadkat to T Ahmed, FOUR! Bangladesh have finally got a boundary. They need more of those! Fuller and angling in from over the wicket, Ahmed clears the front leg and whips it between long on and mid-wicket for a boundary to start the 19th over. |
| 18.3 : 18.3: J Unadkat to S Rahman, SIX! That's gone the distance! What a hit! Rahman maybe, predicted this as he waits on the back foot to a length ball and pummels it over deep square leg for a maximum. |
| 18.5 : 18.5: J Unadkat to S Rahman, OUT! Sabbir Rahman has to walk back. It's not a bump ball, so Sabbir Rahman's stay ends as Unadkat gets his third of the night. He goes wide of the crease and angles away a very full ball outside off, Rahman tries squeezing it out but there seems to be some noise as the ball passes the bat. The umpire takes his time before raising his finger. Sabbir is quick to take the DRS. Replays roll in. Snicko shows a spike but not when the bat hits the ground. It shows when the |
| 19.2 : 19.2: S Thakur to T Ahmed, OUT! Run out! Very full on the stumps, Taskin Ahmed drags it off the inner half towards long on and runs the first one hard. He wants another as well and Rubel sets off. Raina fires a flat throw to Shardul who seems to have not collected it cleanly but did well to deflect it onto the stumps at his end. They take it upstairs and replays confirm the same. |
| 0.2 : 0.2: M Rahman to S Dhawan, FOUR! Starts from where he left off in the last game! Off the mark in style. Short and wide outside off, Dhawan guides it through point and the ball races away. |
| 1.2: T Ahmed to R Sharma, FOUR! Classic Rohit Sharma! A little short by Taskin on off, Rohit nonchalantly rocks back and pulls it over mid-wicket for a one bounce boundary. |
| 1.4 : 1.4: T Ahmed to R Sharma, FOUR! Bad ball and dispatched! Short and wide outside off, width on offer and Sharma pounces on it. He cuts it through point and the ball races away. India off to a flier, 123 needed now. |
| 2.1 : 2.1: R Hossain to R Sharma, Edged but four! A good delivery to begin with by Rubel. He lands it on a length around off, it skids off the surface and also straightens. Sharma tries to defend but it takes the outside edge and goes down to the third man fence. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: M Rahman to R Sharma, OUT! PLAYED ON! The change of ends for Mustafizur Rahman does the trick. Another failure for Rohit Sharma. Rahman comes running in and lands it on a length around off. Sharma tries to run it down to third man but the ball is too close to him to play that shot. He gets an inside edge which disturbs the furniture behind. A much-needed wicket for Bangladesh as these two were taking the game away from them. They would now look to pull things back a little. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: M Rahman to R Pant, FOUR! Up and over! Fuller this time by Rahman, Pant flicks him over mid on to get off the mark with a boundary. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: M Hasan to S Dhawan, FOUR! Nicely swept! Dhawan loves to play this shot against the off spinners. Mehidy tosses it up on middle, Dhawan goes down on one knee and sweeps it through backward square leg for a boundary. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: R Hossain to R Pant, OUT! Another chop on and it is not a surprise seeing the nature of the wicket! Pant's promotion up the order has not worked! Once again a change of ends for a bowler works. He bowls it wide outside off, on a fuller length, the sucker ball they call it. Pant throws the kitchen sink at it but away from his body. He gets an inside edge which shatters into the stumps. The Bangladeshis are pumped and they have two in the Powerplay. They are not making it easy for India. 100 |
| 5.3 : 5.3: R Hossain to S Dhawan, FOUR! Short and pulled away! A bumper on middle, Dhwan rocks back and pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 6.2 : 6.2: M Hasan to S Raina, SIX! 50 up in style! The drop has already cost them 8 runs. Hasan floats it up on middle, Raina goes down on one knee and sends it sailing over the mid-wicket fence for a maximum. |
| 7.1 : 7.1: T Ahmed to S Dhawan, SIX! Welcome back Taskin, says Dhawan! A hit me ball by Ahmed. A bouncer down the leg side, Dhawan just has to get bat on it and he does so expertly. He helps it on its way and the ball goes flying over the fine leg fence. |
| 7.2 : 7.2: T Ahmed to S Dhawan, FOUR! Dhawan is in a hurry here! 75 needed now in 74! Short again, Taskin is not learning here. Dhawan though loves it as he camps back and pulls it with authority through backward point for another boundary. 10 from the first two balls. |
| 9.6 : 9.6: S Sarkar to S Raina, FOUR! Trademark Raina! He makes room, gets the ball in his zone, full and wide outside off. Suresh goes inside out over covers for a boundary. 59 needed of 60. |
| 12.3 : 12.3: Mahmudullah to S Dhawan, SIX! Short, flat and on the stumps, Dhawan quickly picks it up and positions himself for the big hoick. He clears the mid-wicket boundary with ease and gets a biggie to his name. |
| 13.2 : 13.2: N Islam to S Dhawan, FOUR! 6th T20I fifty for Shikhar Dhawan! He gets to the milestone with a boundary. Darted down the leg side, Dhawan helps it on its way to the fine leg fence. Another good knock from the southpaw opener, his purple patch continues. |
| 14.1 : 14.1: R Hossain to S Raina, OUT! Rubel strikes immediately on his return to the attack. It's the short ball which does Raina in. He awkwardly fends it away on the leg side, scoops it towards Mehidy Hasan at square leg who takes a simple catch. Bangladesh have another wicket, but India are in a really comfortable position. 32 needed off 35. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: N Islam to M Pandey, FOUR! A half-tracker, basically a gift for Manish Pandey who puts this away with a lot of joy. Rocks back and pulls it across the mid-wicket fence for a boundary. |
| 16.4: T Ahmed to S Dhawan, OUT! Dhawan is on his way, but the wicket's probably come a little too late. Full and angling in from around off from around the wicket, the opener walks a step across and looks to clear mid-wicket. Lot of height, not enough distance and Liton Das gets under this. Judges it well and takes a safe catch. |
| 17.1 : 17.1: M Rahman to M Pandey, FOUR! Deft from Manish Pandey. Nicely done. Plays this very late. Waits for the ball to come, opens the face and just guides it past the keeper. Really fine, even the third man fielder can't get to it with a dive. Boundary! |
| 17.5 : 17.5: M Rahman to M Pandey, FOUR! Shouldn't be bowling there to Pandey. He has width, so he uses it well and cuts it fiercely through cover-point for a boundary. |
