India vs Bangladesh: T20 World Cup - Group 2, Mirpur...
India notched up the moderate total of 138 runs at the loss of just two wickets and with nine balls to spare against Bangladesh. It was yet another clinical finish by MS Dhoni & co. today as they seal their spot in the tournament's semi-finals. The hosts were just no match for the men in blue in today's tie. Bangladesh did well to post 138 runs on board after suffering early setbacks against India. Anamul Haque and Mahmudullah Riyadh were the star-performers with the bat for the hosts. But, the minnows failed to survive the stern test against the might of explosive Indian batting. The hosts scalped Shikhar Dhawan early but they rarely threatened Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli with their bowling. The Indian duo slammed their respective half-centuries and while Rohit succumbed after his fifty, the experienced Kohli remained unbeaten to anchor India home. The Indian fans also got a taste of MS Dhoni's slam-bang action as the skipper smashed a spectacular six to seal the win for his team. Amit Mishra, with his spell of 3/26, was the star-performer for India yet again alongside Ravichandran Ashwin's sensational figures of 2/15 in his four overs. Team India will now lock horns with Australia on Sunday with no pressure to win the game as they have already secured their spot in the semi-finals.
