India handled the pressure well in the match against Bangladesh which went down the wire. Batting first India went on to score 184 in 20 overs. KL Rahul came back to form and scored a quick 50. Virat Kohli continued his rich vein form and top-scored the innings. Suryakumar Yadav in his short innings looked good.
Chasing a mammoth total of 185, Bangladesh meant business. Especially Litton Das took Indian bowlers in style. He didn’t spare Bhuvi, Arshdeep, or Shami. As a result, Bangladesh stormed to 60 runs in 6 overs. At the time rain-interrupted, Bangladesh was 17 runs ahead of the DLS score, and this sent shock waves to the Indian fans.
However, the rain burst is short and KL Rahul’s brilliant throw from the deep sees the back of Litton Das. From there on, India built pressure. With 20 needing in the last over, Arshdeep managed to do good, and finally, India win by five runs.
India is now with 6 points from 4 games and is at a touching distance of qualifying for the World Cup.
