India vs Bangladesh Live Commentary, Group 2 25th T20, ICC World Twenty20 2016, March 23, 2016

IND 146/7 (20)
India won by 1 run
BAN 145/9 (20)
Match over
0.0 : Welcome to our continuing live coverage of the 2016 ICC World T20. Another crucial match, they are all crucial, but get more and more crucial as the tournament progresses.
We are at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore, under lights, a little bit of dew about, and Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Mortaza won the toss and will bowl first.
So with a bit of moisture about and a tacky wicket, both captains would have bowled first, Mashrafe correctly calling and choosing to do so. It's a high scoring venue typically and we know in T20 cricket, you must bat, bowl and field well regardless.
No changes for India. MS Dhoni is loathe to make any changes and has elected to stick with the same 11 that defeated Pakistan 4 days ago.
Bangladesh make the one change. Tamim Iqbal returns after missing the match against Australia due to sickness. He replaces Saqlaib Sajib and will slot back in at the top of the order.
New Zealand have qualified from this group with three wins from three. Bangladesh are winless from two games so this is a must win game for them. It's also a must win for India who are 1 win from 2. Small ground, fast outfield, expect plenty of runs.
Players out in the middle for the national anthems and we're moments away from the start of another vital World T20 Group 2 clash.
So all set here. Rohit to open the batting with Dhawan. The captain has the ball for Bangladesh, at the Pavilion End. A slip in place.
0.1 : Mashrafe Mortaza to Sharma, one run, short outside off, there's a deep point in place as Rohit cuts it to the man out there
0.2 : Mashrafe Mortaza to Dhawan, one run, short and wide again and there's protection out in the deep for the left hander, out to the deep point fielder
Mashrafe Mortaza to Sharma, wide, trying to adjust his line but the captain has pushed that one down leg side, wide called
0.3 : Mashrafe Mortaza to Sharma, no run, much better line, pitched up around off stump, finds the edge of the bat towards gully, good fielding denies Rohit runs
0.4 : Mashrafe Mortaza to Sharma, one run, slower ball at the stumps, just dabs this one towards mid on for an easy run
0.5 : Mashrafe Mortaza to Dhawan, one run, another slower ball and another single, opens the face and nudges it in to the point gap
0.6 : Mashrafe Mortaza to Sharma, no run, another slower ball, back of a length this time, cramped for room as he defends it down towards short cover.
Excellent first over from the skipper. We'll have right arm spin at the North End with Shuvagoto Hom.
End of over: IND 5/0 (Sharma 2, Dhawan 2)
1.1 : Shuvagoto Hom to Dhawan, no run, getting some turn first ball, tossed up and it turns away wide of off stump
1.2 : Shuvagoto Hom to Dhawan, no run, this one is too short, but slow turn and Dhawan mistimes the drive to cover
1.3 : Shuvagoto Hom to Dhawan, no run, drifting in, forward and pushes it down on the leg side, keeper fields
1.4 : Shuvagoto Hom to Dhawan, FOUR, there's the first boundary, tossed up, too short and too straight, back in his crease and picks his spot, over mid wicket to the boundary
1.5 : Shuvagoto Hom to Dhawan, no run, much better, sliding on outside off, guides to short third man
1.6 : Shuvagoto Hom to Dhawan, no run, short and he gives himself room, cuts well but can't beat point, just the boundary off the over, great start from Bangladesh here.
Just the one over again for the skipper, who opened against the Aussies with one over. Al-Amin Hossain in to the attack.
End of over: IND 9/0 (Sharma 2, Dhawan 6)
2.1 : Al-Amin Hossain to Sharma, FOUR, gives him width outside off and that's a fine shot, cut behind point and giving the deep point fielder no chance!
2.2 : Al-Amin Hossain to Sharma, one run, thuds in to the thigh pad this time and it rolls out behind square, a little inside edge there
2.3 : Al-Amin Hossain to Dhawan, one run, short outside off, cuts it behind point, a dive to his right there but they take the quick single
2.4 : Al-Amin Hossain to Sharma, one run, short again, angled in, tucks it off his hip behind square for another run
2.5 : Al-Amin Hossain to Dhawan, one run, forward to this short ball, drops it down with soft hands on the off side, excellent call from Rohit and another run
2.6 : Al-Amin Hossain to Sharma, no run, short of a length slower ball, opens the face, guides to backward point, dot ends the over.
India going at less that a run a ball to begin this match. The ball is turning and the bowlers are using good variations of pace.
Here's Mustafizur Rahman replacing Shuvagoto Hom.
End of over: IND 17/0 (Sharma 8, Dhawan 8)
3.1 : Mustafizur Rahman to Dhawan, no run, angled in and it takes the inside edge, gets caught in the pad and drops down on the off side
3.2 : Mustafizur Rahman to Dhawan, no run, angled in again and another swing and a miss from Dhawan, thuds in to his pad

3.4 : Mustafizur Rahman to Sharma, one run, pitched up and angled across, leans forward and works a single to the point gap
3.5 : Mustafizur Rahman to Dhawan, APPEAL, no run, forward to this full ball and struck on the pad, appeal for leg before turned down, that was close but he was a long way forward so plenty of doubt for Aleem Dar
3.6 : .
Another bowling change. Shakib Al Hasan replaces Al-Amin.
End of over: Mustafizur Rahman to Dhawan, FOUR, overpitched, too straight, fantastic use of the wrists there to whip it over mid wicket for his second boundary, hit that one clean as a whistle! IND 23/0 (Sharma 9, Dhawan 13)
4.1 : Shakib Al Hasan to Sharma, no run, slow turn outside off, mistimes a cut towards backward point, Dhawan gets halfway down but Rohit hasn't moved, direct hit would have been very interesting indeed!
4.2 : Shakib Al Hasan to Sharma, one run, another slow turner, waits for it and punches it up towards long off
4.3 : Shakib Al Hasan to Dhawan, one run, short ball sliding across, gets back and pulls well, up towards long on, just the single though
4.4 : Shakib Al Hasan to Sharma, no run, another slow turner and Rohit is forced to check his shot, almost lobs a catch back to the bowler!

4.6 : Shakib Al Hasan to Dhawan, one run, tossed up and he sweeps this one hard, out to deep square, just the single.
Not sure we'll get a high scoring match, the pitch is on the slow side. Mustafizur continues.

5.1 : Mustafizur Rahman to Dhawan, one run, makes room to this straight ball and cuts hard to point, well fielded but another single

5.4 : Mustafizur Rahman to Dhawan, SIX, Dhawan in on the act, overpitched, angled in, picks it up nicely and hit through the line, high and over the fence at deep mid wicket, clean hit, the batsmen are set now and we could see an acceleration
5.5 : Mustafizur Rahman to Dhawan, leg bye, fired in at the pads here, beats the bat, off the pad square on the leg side
5.6 : Mustafizur Rahman to Sharma, OUT, no run, there's the first wicket, slower ball pitched up and angled across, tries to heave this one over mid wicket but ends up skying it to mid wicket, Sabbir with safe hands.
Here comes India's super star Virat Kohli in at number three.
End of over: IND 42/1 (Sharma 18, Dhawan 22)
6.1 : Shakib Al Hasan to Kohli, no run, slow turn and he is unable to get this one away, pats down on the off side

Huge wicket that. Not Virat but that's two quick wickets for Bangladesh to halt any momentum gained from those two sixes. Here's Suresh Raina in at number four.
The captain Mashrafe returns.
End of over: Shakib Al Hasan to Dhawan, OUT, no run, silence from the crowd, drifts in from around the wicket and strikes Dhawan full, on the toe it seems, pretty adjacent and Umpire Oxenford raises the finger! IND 45/2 (Dhawan 23, Kohli 2)

9.6 : Mashrafe Mortaza to Raina, one run, charges this slower ball, not adjusted to the pace in the wicket and lobs it up towards long on.
Slow deck and runs aren't easy to come by. The rate after 10 overs is just 5.90. Al-Amin returns for Shuvagoto.
End of over: IND 59/2 (Kohli 11, Raina 5)

17.6 : Mustafizur Rahman to Jadeja, no run, brilliant delivery to end the over, fired in at the stumps and Ravindra can only jam the bat down hard on it to keep it out.
Fantastic over that one. Just the five runs off it. Mustafizur showing his class at the death!
Important over this one for both sides. Al-Amin to bowl the penultimate over replacing Mahmadullah.
End of over: IND 123/6 (Dhoni 5, Jadeja 3)

18.6 : Al-Amin Hossain to Jadeja, one run, short again but this one is a slower ball, pulls straight to deep square, Ravindra wanted a suicidal second run, MS sensibly says no.

Mustafizur Rahman to Dhoni, two runs, full and straight, dug out hard to long on, MS charges back and Ashwin is late to respond but the throw goes to the wrong end with MS beating it.
A good end to the innings for India but Bangladesh have done exceptionally well to restrict India to 146 runs from their 20 overs with some quality bowling, excellent variations of pace and backed up in the field.
It will be a tough chase on a slow deck, but the Tigers have given themselves a chance of causing the upset. The target for Bangladesh is 147 runs and they'll begin their chase in around 15 minutes time.
End of over: IND 146/7 (Dhoni 13, Ashwin 5)
0.0 : 147 to get. Tamim Iqbal takes strike with Mohammad Mithun his partner. Ashish Nehra has the ball at the North End.
0.1 : Nehra to Tamim Iqbal, FOUR, full and sliding on to the pads, poor ball whipped to fine leg, should have just been a single but Bumra misfields badly and gives away four!
And Tamim has collided with Ashish running there, both were watching the ball and Tamim is shaken up. Requires some treatment, perhaps just recomposing himself more than anything. Right to continue.
0.2 : Nehra to Tamim Iqbal, no run, charges a length ball and hits it hard, but straight to mid off
0.3 : Nehra to Tamim Iqbal, no run, good length ball, hint of shape away past the outside edge of the bat, well bowled
0.4 : Nehra to Tamim Iqbal, two runs, short ball gives him little room but he manages to muscle this one past mid on for a couple, Tamim looking to be aggressive from the start
0.5 : Nehra to Tamim Iqbal, DROPPED, no run, short and straight, stands there and hits it hard back to Ashish, had little time to react and no room to get his hands free, puts down a tough chance!

Positive first over for Bangladesh. Jasprit Bumrah to bowl the second over, from the Pavilion End.

1.1 : Bumrah to Tamim Iqbal, no run, angled in nicely from around the wicket, forward and defends in to the covers

1.4 : Bumrah to Mohammad Mithun, no run, full and angled in, he gets forward and defends towards cover, dot ball
1.5 : Bumrah to Mohammad Mithun, one run, angled in full and that's well bowled, Mithun able to get an inside edge behind square
1.6 : Bumrah to Tamim Iqbal, one run, tight line, angled in just outside off, finds the edge and flies down to third man, just three runs off that over.
Ravi Ashwin is in early, looking to produce some turn from this deck. He replaces Nehra.
End of over: BAN 10/0 (Tamim Iqbal 9, Mohammad Mithun 1)
2.1 : Ashwin to Tamim Iqbal, one run, drifting to leg, gets back and whips it off his pads out to deep square leg
2.2 : Ashwin to Mohammad Mithun, OUT, no run, early blow! Tossed up and he is down the track, not quite to the pitch and mishits this one, straight down the throat of Pandya at wide long on, he is very pleased with himself taking that one!
Mithun out cheaply looking to be a little too aggressive there. Sabbir Rahman is in at number three.
2.3 : Ashwin to Sabbir Rahman, one run, leans forward to this full ball and turns a single behind square leg
2.4 : Ashwin to Tamim Iqbal, no run, slip in place for Tamin, draws him forward and gets it to turn in sharply, strikes the pad but turning too much
2.5 : Ashwin to Tamim Iqbal, no run, draws him forward again and gets it to turn sharply past the outside edge, well bowled
2.6 : .
Nehra switches ends and replaces Bumrah.
End of over: Ashwin to Tamim Iqbal, no run, fuller ball, leans forward and defends with bat and pad, brilliant over first up from Ashwin, quality spin bowling! BAN 12/1 (Tamim Iqbal 10, Sabbir Rahman 1)
3.1 : Nehra to Sabbir Rahman, three runs, short of a length, gets back and pulls out to deep mid wicket, doesn't middle it, direct hit at the strikers end and the deflection gives away an extra couple!
3.2 : Nehra to Tamim Iqbal, no run, angled in towards off stump, cuts firmly but straight to backward point
3.3 : Nehra to Tamim Iqbal, two runs, short and too straight, pulls hard in front of square leg, good fielding from Dhawan in the deep to save a boundary
3.4 : Nehra to Tamim Iqbal, one run, short once again, pulls it from the crease out to deep mid wicket, hit square this time so just the single
3.5 : Nehra to Sabbir Rahman, one run, back of a length, angled across, opens the face and steers an easy single down to third man
3.6 : Nehra to Tamim Iqbal, one run, slower ball outside off, walks across his stumps and turns this one through square leg.

5.6 : Bumrah to Tamim Iqbal, FOUR, charges now and clubs this one wide of mid off, cramped but able to hit it wide of the fielder and find the rope again.

Raina to Sabbir Rahman, APPEAL, wide
Raina to Sabbir Rahman, OUT, wide, sliding it well down leg side, Sabbir misses it, MS has the bails off quickly and we'll go upstairs, he looks safe but lets want and see. Well, well, his back foot looks to be in the air, gone!
Brilliant from Dhoni with Sabbir stumped off a wide, his back foot was behind the line but in the air as he switched feet to keep his balance, just inches above the turf but enough to be given out stumped. Mashrafe promotes himself up to number five.

10.6 : Pandya to Shakib Al Hasan, no run, back of a length slower ball, angled across, beaten by the pace there as he fails to make contact.

12.3 : Ashwin to Soumya Sarkar, no run, drifting in full, he leans forward, defends square on the off side

14.2 : Nehra to Mahmudullah, one run, nice and straight here and he whips it nicely through square leg, though just the single

18.3 : Bumrah to Mushfiqur Rahim, APPEAL, one run, low full toss hit hard back to the bowler, deflected towards mid off, Pandya with a direct hit at the bowlers end, going upstairs, Mushfiqur just home!

19.4 : Pandya to Mushfiqur Rahim, OUT, no run, hello! Game back on, short ball, he is back in his crease and pulls in the air but more off the top half and straight down the throat of Dhawan in the deep, safe hands, should have kept that one down!
A silly shot in the circumstances, just had to keep it down and work a single but went for the gold! 2 needed from 2 deliveries as Shuvagoto Hom comes in. Mahmudullah importantly has the strike.
19.5 : Pandya to Mahmudullah, OUT, no run, pandemonium here, a full toss and Mahmadullah has tried to hit that one out of the park, not cleanly hit, Jadeja runs around from deep mid wicket and takes a fine catch under the circumstances, held it well!
Remarkable. 2 required to win from the final ball. 1 run for the super over. Pandya on a hat-trick too. Couldn't have asked for a better finish. Bangladesh snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!
Shuvagoto has the strike here. Plenty of field changes. Semi final spot on the line.
19.6 : .
Rather than throw the ball at the stumps, MS had the presence of mind, and the quickness to charge towards the stumps and remove the bails to snatch the win with Mustafizur inches short. Bangladesh have thrown this one away, they had it won!
End of over: Pandya to Shuvagoto Hom, OUT, no run, India steal it! Length ball outside off, swing and a miss, MS gloves it and sprints towards the stumps, removes the bails and beats Mustafizur who is short! BAN 145/9 (Shuvagoto Hom 0, Mustafizur Rahman 0)
