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.

Bangladesh blames faulty umpiring for India’s win in QF 2015 CWC

#INDvsBAN #CWC15 #sheikhhasina #mustafakamal Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina says her country lost the QF 2015 CWC match to India due to faulty umpiring that denied her country the honors as reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 21 March 2015.
By her statements, it appears that she is endorsing ICC's Bangladeshi president Mustafa Kamal's remarks – he had said that India had won the World Cup quarterfinal against Bangladesh because of umpiring decisions that went against Bangladesh.
Mustafa Kamal has threatened to quit over the umpiring and suggested that the match appeared to have been fixed. It seems he had told Bangladeshi reporters in Melbourne after the match at the MCG that he would raise the issue at the ICC's next meeting. His contention was that the decisions of the umpires seemed to have been "pre-arranged". He brought out two major decisions in support of his accusations.
One of these was of Rohit Sharma who was caught at deep mid-wicket off the bowling of Rubel Hossain when he was on 90. Since the umpires Aleem Dar of Pakistan and Ian Gould of England signalled it as a no-ball, the batsman remained at the crease to finally score 137. In the opinion of Mustafa, the ball appeared to be a legitimate waist-high delivery and not a no-ball.
Second decision was at the dismissal of star batsman Mohammad Mahmudullah who was caught close to the boundary rope.
