IND VS BAN - 35th Match, Super 12 Group 2, ICC Mens T20 World Cup 2022

That's a banana peel game out of India's way. They are on 6 points and have to face Zimbabwe last. Bangladesh sit on 4 points and face Pakistan next. It's a must-win and hope for other results to go their way now for the Bangladeshis. On that note we bring down the curtains on this one. It was fun bringing you all the updates. A special thanks to Kaushik Rangarajan for his updates from Adelaide. He will soon be sending his color-copy from this game. Do check it out. And all the other stuff from Down Under. Till next time, it's goodbye and ta, ta from us. Take care and be well!

Rohit Sharma | India captain: Bit of both. I was calm and nervous at the same time. It was important for us as a group to stay calm and execute our plans. With 10 wickets in hand it could've gone either way but after the break we did well. When he came into the scene [on Arshdeep], we asked him to do that for us. With Bumrah not there, someone has to do it for us, and take the responsibility, for such a young guy to come and do it is not easy. But we prepared him for it. The last 9 months he has been doing it. There was a choice betweeen Shami and him but we backed someone who did the job for us previously. In my opinion he was always there, it was a matter of few innings here and there, he got it in the Asia Cup. We never had any doubts and the way he has been batting in this World Cup has been tremendous and he is really doing it for us [on Kohli]. Also liked the way how KL played today. We know what sort of a player he is, if he bats the way he can, he puts the team in a different position. Our fielding was brilliant, some of the catches we took was great to watch. It's a high-pressure game, to take those catches shows the ability of our guys and honestly I never had any doubts about our fielding.

Shakib Al Hasan | Bangladesh captain: It's been the story when we play against India, we are almost there but we don't finish the line. Both teams enjoyed it, it was a great game and that's what we wanted. At the end someone has to win and someone has to lose. He's [Litton Das] our best batter going around. The way he batted in the powerplay gave us a lot of momentum and gave us the belief that we could chase this with the short boundaries here. If you look at India's top four, they are very dangerous. Our plan was to get those 4 and that's why we bowled Taskin through. Unfortunately he did not pick wickets but he was very economical. Not much, we have been very relaxed and not talking too much about cricket in this World Cup. We have one more match to go and we want to concentrate on that.

Rupesh: Arshadeep has shown character and skills.

Virat Kohli | Player of the Match: Pretty close game. Not as close as we would have liked it to be. A good day with the bat. When I went in there was a bit of pressure. I didn't want little mistakes to curb my instincts. I am in a happy place. I don't want to compare it with the past. As soon as I knew the WC is in Australia, I was grinning from ear to ear. Good cricketing shots will be the key here is what I know. Hitting through the line is what I do in every format. It is just an extension for me. I love playing at this ground. This makes me feel at home. When I come to Adelaide, I am meant to enjoy myself and keep batting.

Live visuals show a young Bangladeshi supporter crying as her father tries to console. The father too has tears but is trying hard to control that. Taskin Ahmed too has a tear or two while the other Bangladeshis look despondent. Unfortunately for them, it has been a common sight when they face India in big matches - to end up in tears. They were firm favorites thanks to Litton Das but their poor record against India in ICC tournaments continues. This was a game there for the taking and they will be bitterly disappointed at a potential semi-final spot slipping away right under their eyes. For India, a major embarrassment avoided and they are well on track to reach the semis and maybe even top the group if South Africa slip up. Do stay tuned for the presentations...

Bangladesh's innings of two halves
66/0 in first 7 overs
79/6 in last 9 overs

22:48 Local Time, 12:18 GMT, 17:48 IST: India edge home a win in a thrilling encounter. And they have to thank their fielding - mostly KL - and also the rain for helping them with this one. The game was totally in Bangladesh's grasp when Litton Das was going hammer and tongs. 66 for no loss they were when the rain came down and they were 17 ahead on DLS par at that stage. They would've won had the rain stayed put. But things changed post the rain, first ball, Das slipped while going back for a second and if that wasn't warning enough, next ball he stumbled while going back for the second and was run-out with a direct-hit from KL. That proved to be the turning point of the game as the much-criticised Indian fielding turned up on the night. Bangladesh skied everything up from that point and India caught them all. There was a late hint of a heist from Nurul Hasan and Taskin Ahmed but Hardik in the penultimate over and Arshdeep Singh in the last kept their nerve to ensure India didn't suffer a defeat - which would've been almost fatal for them in terms of the semi-final race.

Arshdeep Singh to Nurul Hasan, 1 run, India win! And Arshdeep Singh brings out the aeroplane in celebration! Full outside off, was in the slot but Nurul Hasan can only loft a single to long-off. India win by 5 on DLS method

The equation | 7 off 1. Bangladesh need 6 to take it to a Super Over. Rohit is drying the ball and KL pats Arshdeep Singh on his back. What do we have here? Can Nurul Hasan do a DK on India? Here comes Arshdeep. Meanwhile Nurul Hasan makes Arshdeep wait by adjusting his gloves.

Arshdeep Singh to Nurul Hasan, FOUR, and it's four. Arshdeep Singh nails the yorker length delivery outside off, but Nurul Hasan stays deep, opens the face of the bat and drives wide of backward point. No-one at deep point and it runs away

The equation | 11 off 2. Bangladesh need two sixes to win. A six and a four will take this into a Super Over. What a finish we have here

Arshdeep Singh to Nurul Hasan, 2 runs, right up there on off, dug out to long-on and KL misses the direct-hit this time from long-on, Taskin Ahmed was way out as he had given up

The equation | 13 off 3. Nurul Hasan needs a six here.

Krishnan V: Shami should have bowled final over. Seam matters in Australia.

Arshdeep Singh to Nurul Hasan, no run, Arshdeep Singh comes back well. Stays round the wicket and fires into the blockhole, Nurul Hasan inside-edges the flick on to the pad, rolls to cover, he wants the strike, sends Taskin Ahmed back

The equation | 13 off 4. Bangladesh still alive. What will Arshdeep Singh do now?

Arshdeep Singh to Nurul Hasan, SIX, my word! Nurul Hasan has sent this for a six. Arshdeep Singh comes from round the wicket and bangs it in short on the stumps, Nurul Hasan with a mighty pull over deep square leg, went a long way back

Remember DK has one glove off as he is ready to prevent the bye. Rohit has a chat with Arshdeep Singh. Tense faces all around. Shami in Arshdeep's ear. Soumya Sarkar is relaxed meanwhile. He is sporting a smile. Fine-leg inside. Long-on back. Third man back. Rohit wants to get the field spot on. Taking his time.

The equation | 19 off 5.

Arshdeep Singh to Taskin Ahmed, 1 run, good start for India. Fine inswinging yorker tailing back in to off, Taskin Ahmed swings and the under-edge rolls to the right of DK, who can't stop it cleanly

The equation | 20 off 6. Steep ask for Bangladesh and most likely it will be Shami who will bowl the last over. No it's Arshdeep who is entrusted with the task. Bangladesh need a six in the first two balls of the over
