MS Dhoni gets the Man of the Match for his unbeaten century. |
|
The remaining four matches of this tournament will start 30 minutes early in view of the dew. That is not going to make much of a difference honestly but that is what we have. So dew will continue to create problems for the bowlers and the lesson learnt today is - Win the Toss and bowl first under dry conditions! |
|
It was just matter of watching out 10 overs and then batting has been very easy because of the dew conditions. Virat Kohli batted in a matured fashion and MS Dhoni played the sheet anchor role to put up a big 150-run stand for the 4th wicket. Dhoni stayed right till the end and with Suresh Raina finished the match with ease. India didn't feel any pressure at all during the last 10 overs or so! |
|
Well for starters it was a shocking decision from Bangladesh to take the risk of bowling under the lights! They no doubt batted superbly to get to the near 300 total and then had India in a shaky position of three down. |
|
India win by 6 wickets with 15 balls to spare. |
