DHAKA: The World T20 continues to surprise, and after today it has finally had a thriller that every world tournament craves. Bangladesh fought tooth and nail for this.

They bowled outstandingly on a slow pitch to keep the total within their reach. Then the batsmen took the chase down to the last over - that was what their fans were worried about - but Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur had done really well until then.

Except for those wild slogs. They got out to deep midwicket looking for sixes when Bangladesh needed only two runs off two balls, but managed to score 145 runs losing 9 wicket.

Earlier in the evening, winning the toss, Tigers captain Mashrafe Mortaza chose to bowl first against India at Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.

With an excellent bowling and fielding, Tigers restricted India to 146 and hunted seven Indian batsmen in 20-over innings. Raina scored 30, Kohli 24 and Dhawan 23 runs. Alamin and Mustafiz bagged two wickets each.

Bangladesh Team-

Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Sabbir Rahman, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah, Mohammad Mithun, Shuvagata Hom, Mashrafe Mortaza, Al-Amin Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman.

India Team-

Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Ashish Nehra.
