Time for the Presentation.

Earlier in the game, India posted a big score courtesy of half-centuries by KL Rahul and Virat Kohli. For Bangladesh, Hasan Mahmud took three wickets but overall India were the favourites to win this one going into the second half. They managed to held their nerves after some tense moments in the second half and are right on the track to book a semifinal spot now.

Indian management and their fans would be pretty happy with how the players reacted when they were put under the pump. They were carted all around the ground before the rain break but they lifted their game up after that break and bowled and fielded brilliantly to take this game home. KL Rahul's magical effort in the field was really the turning point but after that Arshdeep Singh bowled brilliantly at the death. Shami too provided a crucial breakthrough and the death bowling which was a concern before the World Cup has been really good so far from the Indians in this World Cup.

There are tears in the eyes of the Bangladesh players and their fans but at one point in time they were the one who were rejoicing as Litton Das came out all guns blazing in this chase. Bangladesh were set a target of 185 initially and they got off to a dream start with Das taking on every Indian bowler with ease. However, the rain gods decided to take the centrestage for some time and Bangladesh then with 10 wickets in hand needed 85 in 9 overs after the game was reduced to 16 overs. However, soon after the break, Das was run out courtesy of a special effort by KL Rahul and after that wickets just kept tumbling. Nurul Hasan in the end, tried his best to take Bangladesh over the line, but it was the case of so near yet so far for Bangla Tigers again.

Wow! This World Cup continues to dish out one thriller after another! What a game this turned out to be. However, much to the agony of the Bangladeshi fans, it is India who have prevailed in this cracker of a game! India now go to the top of the table in this Group 2 and are favourites to take one semifinal spot from hereon. Bangladesh, on the other hand, would feel that they missed out on a golden opportunity to grab two points here. They were in the pole position before the rain break but lost their way after that break and in the end have fallen short despite the late flourish by Nurul Hasan.

Who will bowl the last over? It will be young Arshdeep Singh! 20 needed from the last over, it is not an impossible task. Here we go...
