| 0.1 : 0.1: S Islam to R Sharma, FOUR! Runs straight away for India! Shafiul starts with a poor ball down the leg side, Rohit in the form that he is in, just flicks it towards the fine leg region for the first boundary of the game. |
| 0.5 : 0.5: S Islam to R Sharma, FOUR! Solid shot. A length ball outside off, Rohit stands tall and punches it wide of mid off. The ball races away. |
| 0.6 : 0.6: S Islam to R Sharma, OUT! LBW! Umpire's call it is and Rohit has to go. The review is retained though. A length ball outside off, coming back in sharply, Sharma looks to defend but misses and is hit on the pads. The umpire raises his finger on the appeal and Rohit has a chat with Dhawan. Takes the review but technology shows that umpire's call it is, so the review will stay but Rohit won't. Big wicket for Bangladesh. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: S Islam to KL Rahul, FOUR! Lovely shot. On a length outside off, Rahul punches this on the up, through the covers and finds the gap. |
| 4.6 : 4.6: M Rahman to S Dhawan, FOUR! A boundary after 14 balls. Short and outside off, Dhawan cuts it through point and the ball races away! |
| 5.3 : 5.3: S Islam to KL Rahul, FOUR! A wonderful flick-pull. A length ball, outside off, Rahul looks to flick, then tries the pull, gets it somewhere in between but crucially, gets it in the gap over square leg. |
| 6.3: A Islam to KL Rahul, OUT! Caught! Soft dismissal. Short and outside off, Rahul looks to cut but is surprised by the massive turn. Looks to check his shot and ends up spooning a simple catch to Mahmudullah at short extra cover. Another waste of an innings for Rahul. |
| 6.6 : 6.6: A Islam to S Iyer, SIX! MAJESTIC! This was what Iyer was trying on the fourth ball of this over. Still, pretty audacious given the time he has spent at the crease. Tossed up wide outside off, Iyer leans and lofts it over cover. The ball gathers pace and then goes into space beyond the cover boundary. |
| 7.4 : 7.4: S Sarkar to S Dhawan, FOUR! Full and down the leg side, Dhawan tickles it fine and beats short fine leg. |
| 8.6 : 8.6: A Islam to S Iyer, SIX! HUMONGOUS! Iyer means business. Full and outside off, Shreyas gets under it and hammers it straight back over the bowler, over the sightscreen! |
| 9.5 : 9.5: S Sarkar to S Iyer, FOUR! Outstanding placement. A full toss, around off, Iyer flicks it through mid-wicket. Mosaddek Hossain gets across to his left from deep mid-wicket while Mahmudullah gets across to his right from wide long on. The latter dives but misses. |
| 10.2 : 10.2: A Islam to S Iyer, OUT! Caught! Iyer is dismissed after a cameo. Full and outside off, Shreyas backs himself to go inside out but while playing that shot, the bat turns in his hand a touch. Hence, he miscues his shot a touch. The ball goes high but does not quite have the legs. Mohammad Naim gets across from long off to his left and makes it look really easy. |
| 12.3 : 12.3: M Hossain to S Dhawan, FOUR! Much-needed boundary for Shikhar. Just his third. A short ball, around middle, Dhawan swivels and pulls it through mid-wicket! |
| 14.2 : 14.2: Mahmudullah to S Dhawan, SIX! Massive! Tossed up outside off, Dhawan comes down the track and sends it sailing over long on! |
| 14.5 : 14.5: Mahmudullah to R Pant, OUT! RUN OUT! Dhawan is gone. Commotion out there. With these two running, a run out was always on the cards and it comes out to be true. Pant works it to the leg side and calls for the single. Now, first he sees that both Rahim and Mahmudullah are going after the ball, so calls for the second. But then, seeing that he might not make it, Pant changes his mind. Dhawan is halfway down the track and has to turn back but is well short. Meanwhile, Rahim is alert that his |
| 15.4 : 15.4: A Hossain to R Pant, FOUR! Short and outside off, Pant rocks back and cuts it through the covers! |
| 15.6 : 15.6: A Hossain to S Dube, OUT! Stunning return catch! Afif, take a bow. That is out of the world stuff. A length ball, around middle, Dube looks to work it to the leg side but is early into the shot. The ball holds onto the surface and hence, induces a leading edge. Lobs straight back and for a second, it seems like it will surpass the bowler. But young Afif leaps in the air, sticks out his right hand and takes a blinder! |
| 16.2 : 16.2: M Rahman to R Pant, FOUR! Outstanding batting. A short ball outside off, Pant cuts it beautifully and gets it behind point! |
| 17.2: A Hossain to R Pant, FOUR! Not quite how he intended to, but definitely where he intended to. Pant looks to pull it over fine leg but is cramped for room. The ball takes the glove and goes over the keeper to the fence behind. |
| 18.2: S Islam to R Pant, OUT! Caught at the boundary! Pant holes out. A short ball, Rishabh looks to pull but kind of miscues it. However, the ball travels at lightning speed. It seems like it will clear the ropes but finds Mohammad Naim at wide long on. The batsmen do not cross ends either. A bizarre knock by Pant. |
| 18.4 : 18.4: S Islam to K Pandya, FOUR! Well played! A short ball, outside off, Krunal leaps and guides it over backward point for a boundary! |
| 18.6 : 18.6: S Islam to W Sundar, SIX! IMPERIOUS! Boy, this boy can bat. Fractionally short in length, around middle, Sundar rocks back and pulls it massively over mid-wicket! 14 runs and a wicket from the over, the most expensive of the innings. Shafiul finishes with figures of 4-0-36-2. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: A Hossain to W Sundar, SIX! MAJESTIC! Full and outside off, Sundar backs away and plays this as clean as a whistle over long off! |
| 19.6 : 19.6: A Hossain to K Pandya, SIX! A biggie to finish the innings! Short and around middle, Krunal pulls this into oblivion over mid-wicket! 30 runs from the final two overs and INDIA FINISH ON 148/6! |
| 0.2 : 0.2: D Chahar to L Das, FOUR! Nicely done. Full and on middle, Das flicks it through mid-wicket and the outfield does the rest. |
| 0.5 : 0.5: D Chahar to L Das, OUT! Caught! India get the first wicket in the first over, just like Bangladesh. A bit of an indecision for Liton. A length ball outside off, Das looks to punch, but is not sure whether to go aerial or play it along the ground. In the end, just plays tame chip shot which finds KL moving to his left from cover. 141 needed from 115 balls. |
| 4.1 : 4.1: D Chahar to M Naim, SIX! Nicely done. Full and around middle, Naim flicks it casually over mid-wicket and the ball travels the distance. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: D Chahar to M Naim, FOUR! MARVELLOUS! Half volley, too wide outside off, Naim reaches out and plays a full-blooded drive but with grace, wide of mid off and to the left of cover. 117 more needed from 91 balls now. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: W Sundar to S Sarkar, SIX! Innovative. Full and around middle, Sarkar brings out his reverse sweep and gets it miles over backward point! |
| 5.5 : 5.5: W Sundar to M Naim, EDGED, FOUR! Full and outside off, Naim swings hard but the ball spins away, takes the outside edge and flies wide of first slip and short third man! |
| 6.1 : 6.1: K Ahmed to S Sarkar, FOUR! MURDERED! What a way to greet a new bowler. Soumya jumps out of his crease gets to the pitch of the length ball and crashes it through the covers. Rohit Sharma at short extra cover dives to his left but the ball is too quick for him. |
| 7.5 : 7.5: Y Chahal to M Naim, OUT! Caught! Pressure. Three dot balls and that brought about this shot. Full and around off, nicely tossed up, Naim looks to play the slog sweep but skies this miles in the air. Shikhar Dhawan at long on and someone from mid-wicket come for the catch but Gabbar calls for it and takes it nicely. Then does the Gabbar celebration, patting his left leg. The well-set Naim is gone. 94 more needed from 73 balls. |
| 8.4 : 8.4: K Pandya to M Rahim, FOUR! Excellent batting. Full and outside off, Rahim gets out the reverse sweep and makes good connection. The ball flies over short third man. |
| 10.4: K Pandya to M Rahim, FOUR! Swept and swept fine. Flighted on middle and leg, Mushfiqur gets down on one knee and sweeps it fine down the leg side for a boundary. |
| 11.1 : 11.1: Y Chahal to M Rahim, FOUR! Mushfiqur goes after Chahal straightaway in this over. Flatter on middle and leg, Rahim gets down on one knee and sweeps it over short fine leg for a boundary. |
| 13.4 : 13.4: K Pandya to S Sarkar, SIX! High and handsome! Flighted on off, Sarkar comes down the track, gets to the pitch of the ball and demolishes it over mid-wicket for a maximum! |
| 16.1 : 16.1: K Ahmed to M Rahim, SIX! Mushfiqur plays the pull shot well and he has done exactly the same here. Back of a length ball around off, Rahim gets on his back foot and pulls it with authority over fine leg for a maximum. The man in the deep can just watch it sail over. |
| 16.6 : 16.6: K Ahmed to S Sarkar, OUT! Bowled! The over started against Khaleel but it has ended in Khaleel's favour. A much, much needed wicket for India. The off-cutter does the trick. It is on a length and it comes in off the deck too. Sarkar looks to dab it down to third man. Not an ideal shot considering how close the ball was to the stumps. He misses and the ball goes onto hit off and middle. 35 needed off last 3. |
| 17.3 : 17.3: Y Chahal to M Rahim, DROPPED, FOUR! Oh dear... Krunal Pandya has made an absolute mess of a sitter here. Full and outside off, Rahim gets down and plays a slog sweep. But there is not much elevation and the ball goes straight to Krunal Pandya at deep mid-wicket. For some reason, Pandya leaps and the ball bursts through his hands. Bounces just in front of the boundary. |
| 17.6 : 17.6: Y Chahal to Mahmudullah, FOUR! Fine way to end the over! Landed outside off, a fraction too short, Mahmudullah backs away and punches it wide of long off. Substitute Manish Pandey gives it a good chase from long off and dives to his left, almost pulling it back in but misses. 13 from the over, one which started brilliantly for Chahal but then ended horribly. |
| 18.3 : 18.3: K Ahmed to M Rahim, FOUR! Rahim picks the slower ball well and manages to fetch himself a boundary. It is on a length, Mushfiqur waits and then picks his pull behind square on the leg side for a boundary. 16 needed now from 9. |
| 18.4 : 18.4: K Ahmed to M Rahim, FOUR! Rahim gets to his fifty in style. Subdued celebration maybe a lesson he has learnt from the past. The job is near done but not done yet. He gets to his milestone in a brilliant fashion. Full on middle and leg, Rahim manages to ramp it over on the leg side for a boundary. |
| 18.5 : 18.5: K Ahmed to M Rahim, FOUR! Hat-trick of boundaries. Full on off, Rahim drives it through point and has completely changed the tie of the game. |
| 18.6 : 18.6: K Ahmed to M Rahim, FOUR! Just 4 needed off the last over now. Take a bow, Mushfiqur. The pocket sized dynamo has blasted so hard that it has put the Delhi crowd on the silent mood. Length ball on off, Rahim looks to defend but gets a thick outside edge. It goes wide of backward point and bets him away to the fence. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: S Dube to Mahmudullah, SIX! Bangladesh creates history! They get into the history books in style. The young Dube cannot produce a miracle on his debut. Maybe it was asking too much from him. Length ball on off, Mahmudullah comes down the track and whacks his pull over the wide long on fence for a maximum. Bangladesh end their T20I rut against India.
