India vs Bangladesh Live Cricket Score, 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
Commentary :
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

3.4 : 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)

9.5 : Mashrafe Mortaza to Kohli, one run, short of a length, nice and tight, opens the face and steers to short third man
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)
10.1 : Al-Amin Hossain to Raina, one run, short and wide ball, Suresh gives himself room, able to reach the ball and club it out to deep cover

Bangladesh pulling it back here. Two wickets in that over and Soumya take a bow. That catch was something else, hit hard and flew to him quickly, had little time to react, flung himself to his left and caught it just above the turf.

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)

18.4 : 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 : 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
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.

End of over: IND 137/6 (Dhoni 9, Jadeja 12)
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 : 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
19.3 : Mustafizur Rahman to Ashwin, one run, full and straight this time, gets the bat down and inside edges this one down to fine leg, MS gets the strike now and the crowd erupts in anticipation of what might be coming

19.5 : Mustafizur Rahman to Dhoni, no run, low full toss, hit hard to mid off, the fielder is up there to deny a single, Ashwin took off but MS will take the last ball

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)
