The encounter between India and Bangladesh was reduced to a 16-over match due to rain and India managed to prevail by 5 runs in the end. Bangladesh were off to a rocketing start in seven overs when they scored 66 runs from just seven overs, but India came back after the rain break and reduced Bangladesh to 79-6 in the remaining nine overs.

Liton Das was the top run-scorer for Bangladesh as he slammed the fastest fifty by a Bangladesh batter in a 20-20 World Cup of just 21 balls. His final score was 60 off 27 balls with seven fours and three sixes. This meant that Bangladesh had their noses in front in the initial phase of the game.

India won the game by just 5 runs

Taskin Ahmed, who bowled a wonderful spell and conceded only 15 runs off his four overs, could not keep his emotions in check as tears rolled down his cheeks after Bangladesh lost by a slender margin. The rest of the Bangladesh team appeared to be in shock as they now face an inevitable World Cup exit, although they can mathematically still make it to the semifinal.  When cameras zoomed in on the crowd, a kid who was a Bangladesh fan was seen in tears and broke down. She was hugged and consoled by her father.

In the end, Bangladesh had to get a revised target of 151. The turning point for India started with KL Rahul’s direct run out which triggered the fall of wickets for Bangladesh. Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya picked up two wickets each for India as the bowlers curtailed the run flow by taking regular wickets and emerged victorious in the end.

Virat Kohli was awarded the player of the match for his outstanding innings of 64 off 44, which consisted of eight fours and one maximum. Rahul fought back his detractors and scored a superb half-century, which contained three fours and four sixes after critics had questioned his place in the Indian side due to a string of low scores.
