| 1.4 : Over 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 |
| 2.1 : Over 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! |
| 3.6 : Over 3.6: 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) |
| Another bowling change. Shakib Al Hasan replaces Al-Amin. |
| 5.2 : Over 5.2: Mustafizur Rahman to Sharma, SIX, first maximum! Overpitched, too straight, hits clean and through the line, over the fence at long off, crowd erupts! |
| 5.4 : Over 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 |
| 5.6 : Over 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. IND 42/1 (Sharma 18, Dhawan 22) |
| Here comes India's super star Virat Kohli in at number three. |
| Over 6.6: 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) |
| 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. |
| 10.4 : Over 10.4: Al-Amin Hossain to Raina, DROPPED, SIX, another goes down! Slower ball cramps Suresh who is able to whip this one high towards deep square, Shuvagoto puts it down just inside the rope, spills over the rope! |
| 10.5 : Over 10.5: Al-Amin Hossain to Raina, SIX, short and again cramped but able to muscle this one over deep mid wicket and in to the crowd! Back-to-back maximums! |
| 13.1 : Over 13.1: Shuvagoto Hom to Raina, FOUR, tossed up straight, down the track and clubs this one out of the middle, over the bowler, straight and to the rope |
| 13.3 : Over 13.3: Shuvagoto Hom to Kohli, SIX, low full toss here and the first boundary for Virat, gets underneath it , flat and over the rope at deep mid wicket! |
| 13.4 : Over 13.4: Shuvagoto Hom to Kohli, OUT, no run, looking to repeat the dose but deceived by the flight of the ball, swings and misses trying to slog sweep, crashes in to the stumps, dead silence at the M.Chinnaswamy stadium, massive wicket! |
| 13.6 : Over 13.6: Shuvagoto Hom to Pandya, SIX, tossed up and he swings hard, makes sublime contact and powers it high and over the fence at deep mid wicket, way back, almost 100 metres! IND 3/101 (Raina 28, Pandya 6) |
| 13.4 : Hardik Pandya promoted up to number five to swing the blade. |
| 13.6 : 100 up for India after 14 overs. |
| 14.5 : Over 14.5: Shakib Al Hasan to Pandya, FOUR, charges now, good use of the feet, takes it on the full and drives straight, beats the wide long on fielder for four! |
| 14.6 : Over 14.6: Shakib Al Hasan to Pandya, FOUR, again uses the feet well and takes it on the full, slices it over extra cover, excellent end to the over with back-to-back boundaries. IND 112/3 (Raina 30, Pandya 15) |
| 15.1 : Over 15.1: Al-Amin Hossain to Raina, OUT, no run, the cutter does the trick, short and Suresh has no room to play the pull, skied to Sabbir running in from deep mid wicket, comfortable catch taken! |
| The skipper comes in at number six. MS Dhoni in. |
| 15.2 : Over 15.2: Al-Amin Hossain to Pandya, OUT, no run, brilliant again from Soumya, he took a blinder in the deep against Pakistan and has done it again, short and pulled flat and hard out to deep square, dives to his left and takes it just above the turf |
| Yuvraj Singh in to face the hat-trick ball! |
| 16.5 : Over 16.5: Mahmudullah to Yuvraj Singh, OUT, no run, drifting in and Yuvraj tries to sweep, deceived here by the flight and he top edges a simple catch to Al-Amin at short fine leg, another one down and more silence from the home fans |
| Ravindra Jadeja comes in at number eight. |
| 18.2 : Over 18.2: Al-Amin Hossain to Dhoni, FOUR, full and wide, didn't get the line right this time and MS powers this one over extra cover, like a tracer bullet to the rope! |
| 18.4 : Over 18.4: Al-Amin Hossain to Jadeja, FOUR, around the wicket with the change of angle, low full toss slices out behind point, hit the middle there and well places, fantastic shot, wasn't a bad ball just a great cricket shot! |
| 18.5 : Over 18.5: Al-Amin Hossain to Jadeja, FOUR, another poor ball, short and too straight, pulls it nicely behind square, in to the gap for another boundary |
| 19.1 : Over 19.1: Mustafizur Rahman to Jadeja, OUT, no run, slower ball, full and angled in, too good for Ravindra who swings far too early, clean bowled, crashes in to middle and off! |
| Brilliant delivery that. Here's Ravi Ashwin in at number nine. |
| 19.2 : Over 19.2: Mustafizur Rahman to Ashwin, FOUR, slower ball but gets the line wrong here, down leg side, good use of the wrists to glance it fine for a boundary |
| 0.1 : Over 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. |
| 2.2 : Over 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. |
| 4.6 : Over 4.6: Ashwin to Sabbir Rahman, SIX, short now and he rocks back in a flash, enough length to lift this one over the fence at deep mid wicket, well back in to the crowd, great pull shot! BAN 1/29 (Tamim Iqbal 16, Sabbir Rahman 12) |
| Bad drop from Bumrah who now must do something with the ball to make up for his huge error. |
| 5.1 : Over 5.1: Bumrah to Tamim Iqbal, FOUR, wide ball, charges and cuts it bard behind point to the rope, that hurts, Bumrah's drop already costing him a boundary! |
| 5.3 : Over 5.3: Bumrah to Tamim Iqbal, FOUR, overpitched outside off, stands there and picks the slower ball, heaves it over mid on, one bounce four, Bumrah must be feeling terrible right about now |
| 5.5 : Over 5.5: Bumrah to Tamim Iqbal, FOUR, waist high full toss now and he swings the bat, a thick outside edge flies down to the rope, third boundary of the over! |
| 5.6 : Over 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. BAN 1/45 (Tamim Iqbal 32, Sabbir Rahman 12) |
| Fabulous over for Bangladesh. Four boundaries off it and Bumrah's miss has already been massive. Costing 17 runs so far. |
| 6.4 : Over 6.4: Ashwin to Sabbir Rahman, FOUR, tossed up and he plays a fine reverse sweep, over short third man, Bumrah watches another one go over his head for a boundary |
| Over 7.4: Jadeja to Tamim Iqbal, OUT, no run, gone this time, Bumrah's drop costs 20 runs, down the track and Jadeja bowls a flatter ball, slides underneath the bat and MS has those bails off in a flash, fastest gloves in the west! |
| Shakib Al Hasan is the new man at the crease, coming in at number four. |
| Over 8.4: Pandya to Sabbir Rahman, FOUR, short ball bouncer, well directed but Sabbir goes through with the pull shot, off the top edge and flies down to the fine leg rope |
| 8.5 : Over 8.5: Pandya to Sabbir Rahman, FOUR, again! Full this time and he looks to whip it to leg hitting across the line, a thick outside edge flies down to the rope, this time at third man! |
| 9.2 : Over 9.2: 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. |
| 9.5 : Over 9.5: Raina to Mashrafe Mortaza, SIX, tossed up and Mashrafe is down the track, excellent use of the feet, doing his job, swinging the bat, over the fence at long on |
| Over 10.5: Pandya to Shakib Al Hasan, SIX, in the slot and he swings through the line, makes fabulous contact, sweetly timed, high and over the fence at deep mid wicket |
| 11.1 : Over 11.1: Jadeja to Mashrafe Mortaza, OUT, no run, fired in here, quicker ball and Mashrafe swings, is beaten by the pace and it cannons in to middle stump, big wicket just to turn the game slightly towards India |
| Mahmudullah in at number six. 60 required from 53 deliveries. |
| 11.4 : Over 11.4: Jadeja to Shakib Al Hasan, SIX, sliding across and this is a fine strike! In the hitting zone and he clears the fence at deep mid wicket! |
| 12.1 : Over 12.1: Ashwin to Shakib Al Hasan, OUT, no run, huge wicket this! Drifting in and it turns away, draws him forward and finds the edge, easy catch for Raina at slip who doesn't drop those! |
| Over 15.1: Jadeja to Soumya Sarkar, SIX, tossed up and he swings with the spin, in the slot there and he hit it sweetly over deep square leg, way back in to the crowd, just silences them again |
| 17.2 : Over 17.2: Nehra to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, drops short and he pays the price, pulls it hard and flat through mid wicket, just to the left of the sweeper who had no chance of cutting it off, boundary! |
| 17.5 : Over 17.5: Nehra to Soumya Sarkar, OUT, no run, big blow! Low full toss, not quite able to get underneath it and he skies it to Virat at long off, safe pair of hands, cool under pressure to take that catchy, dot ball as well for India, the tide turns |
| Mushfiqur Rahim in at number 8 with 21 required from 13 deliveries. |
| 17.6 : Over 17.6: Nehra to Mahmudullah, FOUR, lovely, lovely shot, low full toss but still has to put it away, hit sweetly through extra cover and finds the gap wide of the sweeper! BAN 6/130 (Mahmudullah 14, Mushfiqur Rahim 0) |
| Huge boundary off that last ball. 17 needed from 12. Tide turns back to Bangladesh! |
| Bumrah bowled a brilliant over last time around. Has to back it up again. |
| 19.2 : Over 19.2: Pandya to Mushfiqur Rahim, FOUR, shuffles in his crease and upsets the rhythm of Pandya who bowls a wide ball in the slot, clubs past extra cover and to the boundary, MASSIVE! |
| 6 from 4 now. Bangladesh favourites surely? |
| 19.3 : Over 19.3: Pandya to Mushfiqur Rahim, FOUR, massive again! Length ball, nice and straight and Mushfiqur slides across and plays the ramp shot, just past the dive from MS and to the rope, it's all but over! |
| 19.4 : Over 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 : Over 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 : Over 19.6: 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 9/145 (Shuvagoto Hom 0, Mustafizur Rahman 0) |
| 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! |
