India wins by One run against Bangladesh in Bangalore World T20


It was decidedly a WT20 match in which India got the better of Bangladesh who succumbed to pressure of expectations and literally gifted the game away to India. It was evident that India played below par with batsmen failing to score to finally end up with just 146 runs in its 20 0vers. And, Bangladesh frittered away their chances when they lost their nerves.
This has been reported in ibnlive.com dated 23 March 2016.
Some may say it was an exciting nail biting finish but it was a misery that Indians brought upon themselves - first by their poor batting and then by poor fielding. Dropped catches have become the order of the day and, when sitters are dropped, it adds to the tension of not just captain cool M S Dhoni but to millions of viewers who sit glued to the TV sets and wait for miracles to happen.
As it did when India managed to pick up three wickets in the last three deliveries.
Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah needed 11 runs off the final over, and Rahim hit Hardik Pandya for two back-to-back boundaries. That left just two to win off last three balls - and the Bangladeshis could not score that one run in the last three deliveries.shot on their own foot as they didn't manage to score even one run in the last three deliveries. First Rahim was caught in the deep by Shikhar Dhawan and in the very next delivery, Mahmudullah lobbed a full-toss straight at the deep mid-wicket to Ravindra Jadeja.
With this win, India have four points and are second in Group 2 points table.
