| 0.4 : 0.4: M Mortaza to R Sharma, SIX! There he goes! Rohit is away in style. Short and outside off, Sharma swivels on the back foot and pulls it magnificently over mid-wicket! |
| 3.5 : 3.5: M Saifuddin to KL Rahul, FOUR! Misfield from Shakib and Saifuddin is not happy. Full and on middle, Rahul flicks it through mid-wicket. Shakib Al Hasan gives it a good chase from deep mid-wicket, dives to his left but goes over the ball. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: M Saifuddin to R Sharma, SIX! Massive hit! A length ball outside off, Rohit comes down the track and sends it sailing over the covers! |
| 6.1 : 6.1: M Rahman to R Sharma, FOUR! Outside off, on a length, Sharma slashes hard and gets a thick outside edge which flies past the slip cordon and beats third man! |
| 7.3 : 7.3: M Saifuddin to KL Rahul, FOUR! Poor ball and put away! This is down the leg side, Rahul just needed to get bat on ball, he does so and it races to the fine leg fence. |
| 7.4 : 7.4: M Saifuddin to KL Rahul, FOUR! This shot had class written all over it. This is slightly fuller around off, Rahul leans into it and caresses it through extra cover. Back-to-back boundaries. |
| 8.2 : 8.2: M Rahman to R Sharma, FOUR! Lovely, just lovely! It is raining boundaries here. This is full and around off, going away with the angle. Rohit just puts bat to ball, guides it through the left of mid off and the ball races to the fence. Also, the bowler has overstepped so it is a no ball. Free Hit coming up. |
| 8.2: M Rahman to R Sharma, FOUR! Makes full use of the Free Hit! It is a freebie actually. It is full and outside off, Rohit just carves it over the in-field and then it races to the point boundary. Once again consecutive boundaries for India. They are off to a flier here. |
| 9.1 : 9.1: M Mortaza to KL Rahul, FOUR! Welcome back in the attack, Mashrafe. Another cracking shot. Rahul takes a few steps ahead, he still does not get to the pitch of the ball. Rahul strokes it on the up through mid off for a boundary. |
| 9.4 : 9.4: M Mortaza to R Sharma, FOUR! Room on offer with third man up, it is not a good idea. Short and outside off, Rohit waits for the ball to come to him and then guides it past backward point for a boundary. Easy pickings for Rohit. |
| 14.2 : 14.2: Al Hasan to R Sharma, SIX! Shorter boundary but it would not have mattered! This is short and on middle, Rohit has enough time to go back and pull it high and handsome over the mid-wicket fence. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: M Mortaza to KL Rahul, SIX! That has been powered! Slightly shorter and around off, Rahul goes back and pulls it away over the wide long on fence. Second six in the last two overs. |
| 18.1 : 18.1: R Hossain to KL Rahul, FOUR! Straight as an arrow! Another bowler is greeted into the attack by a boundary. A half volley on off, Rohit hits it through mid on and the ball races away to the fence. |
| 18.6 : 18.6: R Hossain to KL Rahul, FOUR! A boundary to start the over and one to end! Another top-class shot. Fuller and on off, Rahul leans into it and times it through covers. No stopping those. An expensive start by Rubel. |
| 21.2 : 21.2: M Hossain to R Sharma, SIX! That is colossal! Right off the middle. Also, the risk was minimum as Rohit hit it with the turn. This is floated up on off, Rohit lofts it high and handsome over the long on fence. |
| 21.6 : 21.6: M Hossain to R Sharma, FOUR! Rohit seems to have stepped on the gas here. A six earlier in the over and now a four. He steps down the track, makes it into a full toss and lofts it over the mid-wicket fielder for a boundary. 13 from the over. |
| 22.2 : 22.2: R Hossain to R Sharma, FOUR! No one there and another boundary! Not timed perfectly but Rohit gets the desired result. This is short and hurries onto the batsman. Rohit looks to pull it over mid-wicket but since he is a touch late in the shot, it goes over mid on for a boundary. |
| 23.1 : 23.1: M Rahman to R Sharma, SIX! Beautiful, delightful! Probably the best shot of the game. 300th six of the World Cup. This is full and on off, Rohit extends his arms and just lofts it nonchalantly over the bowler's head for a biggie. Also, the 150 is up. |
| 29.1: S Sarkar to R Sharma, FOUR! Poor ball this. On the pads, Rohit won't miss out on that especially at this stage of his innings. He flicks it with ease through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 29.2 : 29.2: S Sarkar to R Sharma, OUT! Caught! This has come against the run of play. End of a terrific knock this. Knowing Rohit though he will be gutted. Sarkar bowls it full around off, Rohit looks to hit it over mid off. He does not time it well though as the bat turns in his hand. It goes to the right of mid off. Liton Das at mid off moves to that side and takes an easy catch. End of a fabulous innings by Rohit. He walks off to a well deserved ovation form the crowd. |
| 32.2: R Hossain to V Kohli, FOUR! Exquisite! Overpitched on off, Kohli gets on his front foot and drives it handsomely straight as an arrow for a beautiful boundary. |
| 32.4 : 32.4: R Hossain to KL Rahul, OUT! Rahul departs! Slower delivery outside off, Rahul looks to cut but gets a thick outside edge which goes to Mushfiqur behind the stumps. He dives to his right and takes a very good low catch. Once again Rahul gets a start in this World Cup but cannot convert it. Two wickets in relatively quick succession for Bangladesh and now they are into India's rusty middle order. |
| 33.5 : 33.5: M Hossain to R Pant, SIX! That has disappeared way into the stands. Floated on middle and off, Pant comes down the track and demolishes over the long on fence for a huge six. First boundary for Pant. |
| 34.2 : 34.2: R Hossain to V Kohli, FOUR! Whipped as smooth as butter! Full around off, Kohli flicks it through mid-wicket. Mortaza at short mid-wicket does not even move an inch as the ball goes past him like a rocket. |
| 36.1 : 36.1: Al Hasan to V Kohli, FOUR! What a shot! This shows the class of Kohli. Floated on middle, Kohli comes down the track and whips it away through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 36.4 : 36.4: Al Hasan to R Pant, FOUR! This is smart from young Pant. Shakib tosses it on the pads, Pant sees there is no one in the deep at square leg so he just plays a good looking sweep there and fetches himself a boundary. |
| 37.1 : 37.1: S Sarkar to R Pant, FOUR! WOW! Pant showing his innovative strokes here. He premeditates his sweep. Soumya bowls it on the body but Pant still goes with it and gets it past short fine leg for a boundary. |
| 38.2 : 38.2: M Rahman to V Kohli, OUT! Kohli holes out! Another wicket which has come against the run of play here. The bowling change has worked here for Bangladesh and Mashrafe. Mustafizur bends his back and bowls it short. Kohli goes for a big pull, he times it well but does not get the desired elevation. The ball goes to the man at deep mid-wicket. Rubel Hossain stationed there stretches his hands up in the air and takes a fine catch. The skipper's streak of 5 consecutive 50-plus score comes to an |
| 38.4 : 38.4: M Rahman to H Pandya, OUT! Pandya goes for a duck! Second wicket in the over for Mustafizur and this is the second big fish off just 3 balls. Mashrafe keeps a wide first slip for Pandya. Mustafizur rolls his hand on this one and bowls it outside off. Hardik Pandya shuffles across and looks to punch it. He ends up getting a thick outside edge, which goes to the right of Sarkar at wide first slip who takes a very fine low catch. |
| 39.2 : 39.2: M Saifuddin to R Pant, FOUR! Crisply driven. Fuller outside off, Pant gets on his front foot and drives it nonchalantly through covers for a boundary. |
| 39.3 : 39.3: M Saifuddin to R Pant, FOUR! Two in two for Pant! Short ball around the body, Pant picks the length early and whacks his pull over mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 39.4 : 39.4: M Saifuddin to R Pant, FOUR! Hat-trick of boundaries here for Pant. Pressure on the bowler now. Good length ball around off, Pant shows his quick hand work and cuts it through point for a boundary. This is the best shot of the lot. |
| 41.1 : 41.1: M Rahman to R Pant, FOUR! Poor start to the over for Mustafizur. He drags it down on the body, Pant pulls it over square leg and gets a boundary. |
| 43.6 : 43.6: R Hossain to MS Dhoni, FOUR! Pulled and pulled fine. Short ball on middle, Dhoni pulls it over square leg for a boundary. Good end to the over this. |
| 44.1 : 44.1: Al Hasan to R Pant, OUT! Pant holes out! Fumble but taken. The risk of giving Shakib the ball against Pant has worked. He bowls it slower through the air on off and middle, Pant goes for a big slog sweep. He does not time it and it goes straight to Mosaddek at deep backward square leg. He fumbles the first time, the ball hits his shoulder and then comes back down. He fumbles for the second time as well but manages to hold onto it on the third time. |
| 45.1: M Rahman to MS Dhoni, FOUR! Punched and punched with power. Good length ball around off, Dhoni gets on his back foot and punches it hard through point for a boundary. |
| 46.4 : 46.4: M Saifuddin to D Karthik, FOUR! Creamed! Full around off, Karthik creams it away through point and gets a boundary. |
| 47.2 : 47.2: M Rahman to D Karthik, OUT! Karthik does not leave a lasting impression in his first outing. Mustafizur bends his back on this one and bowls a slower bouncer. Karthik looks to pull but the ball rises onto him. He ends up getting a top edge which goes to the left of cover. Mosaddek there moves on that side and takes a simple catch. |
| 48.2: M Saifuddin to MS Dhoni, FOUR! Driven with brutality! Length ball around off, Dhoni uses his bottom hand and drives it with power through covers for a boundary. |
| 48.5 : 48.5: M Saifuddin to MS Dhoni, FOUR! Dhoni rolling back the years and silencing his critics here. Slower delivery around off, Dhoni cuts it and pierces the gap through point for a boundary. |
| 49.3 : 49.3: M Rahman to MS Dhoni, OUT! No Dhoni magic in the last over. Slower bouncer away from the body, Dhoni looks to flat-bat it straight over the bowler's head. It comes off the upper half of his bat and goes to the left of mid on. Shakib moves across to his left hand side and takes an easy catch. |
| 49.6 : 49.6: M Rahman to B Kumar, WIDE AND RUN OUT! Slower delivery outside off, it is on the wrong side of the tramline. Shami comes for a run. Bhuvi was slow though. Rahim throws it to Mustafizur, who hits the stumps at the bowler's end. The umpire takes it upstairs but Bhuvneshwar had started to walk back even before the replays rolled in. |
| 49.6: M Rahman to M Shami, OUT! Bowled! 5-fer to finish a tremendous last over. His 4th 5-wicket haul in ODIs. Around off, Shami moves across to paddle but misses the ball hits his pads and goes onto hit the stumps. 2 wickets and just 3 runs from the final over. Top notch from Mustafizur. INDIA FINISH WITH 314/9 FROM THEIR 50 OVERS. |
| 1.4 : 1.4: J Bumrah to T Iqbal, FOUR! First one of the innings! It is full on the pads, Tamim plays a gorgeous flick shot through mid-wicket to get the first boundary. |
| 1.6 : 1.6: J Bumrah to T Iqbal, FOUR! Comes 'round the wicket and serves it on a length outside off. Bumrah, on this occasion is guilty of giving Tamim width to play with. Tamim accepts the invitation and cuts it through point for a boundary. Expensive start for Bumrah. 8 runs off his first. |
| 2.5 : 2.5: B Kumar to T Iqbal, FOUR! Once again a gorgeous cut by Tamim. Bhuvneshwar bowls it on a length outside off, Tamim cuts it with ease through point for his 3rd boundary of the game. |
| 7.4 : 7.4: M Shami to S Sarkar, FOUR! Up and over! Full outside off, Sarkar slices it over cover-point. The fielder at third man is at 45 so he cannot stop it. First boundary for Sarkar and this should give him a lot of confidence. |
| 9.3 : 9.3: M Shami to T Iqbal, OUT! Chopped on! India's strike bowler this World Cup has given them the breakthrough. Good length ball just outside off, Tamim looks to run it down to third man but it comes off the toe end of his bat. The ball then goes onto disturb the stumps. Tamim fails to convert his start here. |
| 10.2 : 10.2: J Bumrah to Al Hasan, FOUR! That's the shot of a man in form. Full on middle and leg, Shakib delightfully drives it through mid on to get his first boundary of this game. |
| 11.1 : 11.1: M Shami to S Sarkar, FOUR! Crisp! Full on off, Sarkar drives it with authority through covers for a boundary. |
| 12.1: Y Chahal to Al Hasan, FOUR! Not the start Chahal would have wanted. Floated on the pads, Shakib paddles it fine down the leg side for a boundary. |
| 13.1: M Shami to S Sarkar, FOUR! The mid off is up so this shot has a very minimal risk. Fuller around off, Sarkar lofts it over mid off. He does not time it well but has timed well enough to get a boundary. |
| 13.6 : 13.6: M Shami to S Sarkar, FOUR! Poor from Shami! Good length ball outside off, Soumya cuts it over cover and gets a boundary. Sweeper cover gives it a chase but comes second best. |
| 15.1 : 15.1: H Pandya to S Sarkar, OUT! Caught! Hardik strikes in his very first over. He bowls a length ball outside off. It is a slower one. Soumya punches it but cannot keep it down. The ball goes straight to Kohli at short cover. The Indian skipper is ecstatic as it was Sarkar's lbw appeal that made them lose their review. Crucial wicket this as Sarkar was staring to look dangerous. Bangladesh need to convert their starts here. |
| 17.5 : 17.5: H Pandya to Al Hasan, FOUR! Edgy one! Off cutter around off, Shakib looks to drive but it goes very fine past keeper off the outside edge of his bat for a boundary. |
| 18.4 : 18.4: Y Chahal to M Rahim, FOUR! Poor ball! Leg spinner on the pads, Rahim just guides it fine down the leg side. The ball beats Hardik Pandya at short fine leg who dives to his right and goes onto the fence. |
| 18.5 : 18.5: Y Chahal to M Rahim, FOUR! Two in two! Tossed up on middle and off, Rahim gets down on one knee and slog sweeps it over mid-wicket. No one in the deep there. The ball bounces a couple of times and goes to the fence. |
| 21.1 : 21.1: H Pandya to Al Hasan, FOUR! Cut and cut sharp. Good length ball outside off, Shakib cuts it hard through point for a boundary. He is one off the best player on the off side. |
| 22.4 : 22.4: Y Chahal to M Rahim, FOUR! Very well played. Right in the gap. Short and outside off, a bit slow in the air. Rahim goes back and cuts it between short third man and backward point. |
| 22.6 : 22.6: Y Chahal to M Rahim, OUT! Caught! Straight to the man! Chahal finally strikes in Edgbaston. Tossed up outside off, Rahim gets down and looks to sweep. He connects well but finds Shami who is standing somewhere between square leg and mid-wicket. This could be a massive blow to Bangladesh. 194 more needed from 162 balls. |
| 27.5 : 27.5: H Pandya to Al Hasan, FOUR! Moves to 48. Good length ball around off, Shakib punches it through covers and scores a magnificent boundary. The fielder at short cover gets it on a bad bounce which makes it difficult for him to stop. |
| 29.2 : 29.2: H Pandya to L Das, SIX! That's hammered away. Full on middle, Liton smashes it over the long on fence for a maximum. That was a meaty blow by Das. |
| 29.4 : 29.4: H Pandya to L Das, OUT! Another budding stand is broken. Hardik bangs it in short. It comes quicker than Liton expected. Also it is at an uncomfortable height, Das still goes for the pull but it comes off the upper half of his bat. It lobs up and goes to the left of mid-wicket. Dinesh Karthik takes a simple catch. Second wicket in the game for Pandya. He did not have a good day with the bat but he is proving his worth with the bat. |
| 30.3 : 30.3: J Bumrah to Al Hasan, FOUR! Off the edge! Short and wide outside off, Shakib looks to cut but it goes off the outside edge for a boundary down the third man fence. |
| 32.2 : 32.2: J Bumrah to M Hossain, OUT! Another chop on! Bumrah gets his first. Slower one, bowled at 119 kph. Mosaddek was struggling to pick the slower ones and this time he is completely outdone by it. He looks to run it down but gets a thick inside edge onto the stumps. Bangladesh struggling here in this chase. They need someone to support Shakib Al Hasan. |
| 32.3 : 32.3: J Bumrah to S Rahman, FOUR! Sabbir is off the mark with a boundary. Short ball on off, Rahman guides it down the third man fence for a boundary. |
| 33.5 : 33.5: H Pandya to Al Hasan, OUT! Caught! Is that the end of this chase for Bangladesh? Shakib makes room as Pandya runs in. Pandya follows him with his slower one. Shakib is early in his drive and ends up chipping it straight to Dinesh Karthik at cover. Body blow this for Bangladesh. One might feel India have served the knockout blow here. Shakib's lone fight comes to an end. |
| 35.1 : 35.1: H Pandya to S Rahman, FOUR! Short on off, Sabbir pulls it wide of square leg. Bumrah runs to his left and initially stops the ball with a dive but he cannot stop it from going to the fence. |
| 37.1: M Shami to S Rahman, FOUR! Sabbir comes down the track. Shami serves it short, Sabbir still manages to pull it over mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 37.2 : 37.2: M Shami to S Rahman, FOUR! Poor ball this. It is short and on the body, Sabbir pulls it fine down the leg side for a boundary. |
| 37.4 : 37.4: M Shami to M Saifuddin, FOUR! Power, brute power. Back of a length ball on off, Sifuddin smacks it over the mid on fence for a boundary. |
| 37.6 : 37.6: M Shami to M Saifuddin, FOUR! Shami has been taken to the cleaners here. Full on off, Saifuddin heaves it over mid-wicket. The ball bounces before the ropes and goes away for a boundary. 17 runs off the over. |
| 38.2 : 38.2: Y Chahal to M Saifuddin, FOUR! Floated on the pads, Saifuddin looks to sweep but gets a top edge. It falls behind Bumrah at short fine leg. The ball bounces and races away from him for a boundary. |
| 38.6 : 38.6: Y Chahal to S Rahman, FOUR! Good end to the over for Bangladesh. Floated on middle, Sabbir sweeps it through square leg for a boundary. 96 runs more needed. |
| 39.1 : 39.1: H Pandya to M Saifuddin, FOUR! Good start to the over this. 8 runs off the last two ball. Short on off, Saifuddin pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 41.2 : 41.2: M Shami to M Saifuddin, FOUR! Up and over! Overpitched on off, Saifuddin lofts it over mid off for a boundary. These two are slowly and steadily taking Bangladesh close here. |
| 41.4 : 41.4: M Shami to M Saifuddin, FOUR! Shami is bowling the wrong lengths here. It is outside off, Saifuddin pulls it through square leg for a boundary. |
| 43.1 : 43.1: J Bumrah to S Rahman, OUT! Bowled! Bumrah strikes in the very first ball of his come back over. Slower one bowled at 118 kph. Sabbir did not pick it at all. He swings his bat at it but misses. The ball goes onto hit the leg pole. This might be the final nail in the coffin in this chase, Bumrah has probably crashed all hopes Bangladesh had. |
| 44.1: B Kumar to M Mortaza, IN THE AIR....SIX! Slower ball on middle, Mortaza swings his bat at it. He does not time it well. It looks like Rahul at long on will have a chance. He stretches to his left but cannot keep it inside and it goes over the ropes for a six. |
| 44.2 : 44.2: B Kumar to M Mortaza, OUT! Caught! Mortaza's cameo comes to an end. Slower ball outside off, Mortaza swings his bat at it. The ball takes the outside edge and flies to the right of Dhoni. He moves swiftly to that side and takes a relatively easy catch. |
| 44.5 : 44.5: B Kumar to M Saifuddin, FOUR! Extremely well played this. Saifuddin won't die without trying. Full on off, Saifuddin creams it wide of long off for a boundary. |
| 45.3 : 45.3: J Bumrah to R Hossain, FOUR! That is hit with venom. Good length ball on off, Rubel smashes it over the bowler's head for a boundary. |
| 46.3: M Shami to M Saifuddin, FOUR! 37 needed of 21 balls. Short on the body, Saifuddin pulls it towards the backward square leg fence for a boundary. |
| 47.3: J Bumrah to M Saifuddin, FOUR! FIFTY FOR SAIFUDDIN. Only his 2nd one in ODIs. Full on off, Saifuddin smashes it straight down the ground. Virat Kohli in the deep runs and dives to his left but cannot stop it. Good effort from the skipper though. |
| 47.5 : 47.5: J Bumrah to R Hossain, OUT! Bowled! A fast and straight yorker on middle, Rubel looks to put the bat down but he is late and the stumps are disturbed. |
| 47.6 : 47.6: J Bumrah to M Rahman, OUT! Bowled! Perfect yorker ocne again. Too good for the number 11 batsman. It is on middle and off, Mustafizur looks to put his bat down but he misses. 2 in 2 for Bumrah. He won't get a hat-trick though are Bangladesh are bowled out. INDIA WIN BY 28 RUNS AND QUALIFY FOR THE SEMI-FINALS. |
