In a Super 12 match on Wednesday in Adelaide that was hampered by rain, India defeated Bangladesh by five runs. The Men in Blue move to the top of Group 2’s table as a result of this outcome. India was given the opportunity to bat first by Bangladesh to open the game. India’s start was sluggish, with Rohit Sharma going down for two. However, KL Rahul’s fifty and Virat Kohli’s unbeaten 64 in 44 balls propelled India to 184/6 in 20 overs. Litton Das led the run chase for Bangladesh in their spirited reaction. Before play was halted by rain, which also caused the goal to be lowered to 151 in 16 overs, he was poised to hit a 21-ball 50. As soon as play resumed, Bangladesh began to lose wickets quickly.
It began with Das being run out for 60. Mohammed Shami gave India its second breakthrough shortly after. Following that, Arshdeep Singh struck twice in one over, while Hardik Pandya claimed two victims in the over after him.
