Siraj bowls the final over, with Mushfiqur guiding the ball to short third man off a back-of-length delivery that angles into him. Mehedi tries heaving the ball down the ground, but fails to connect and ends up getting caught by Raina at long on. Nine runs off the next three deliveries, with Rahim collecting two boundaries off it and one being called wide for height. With the match virtually over, Siraj ensures that he does’t give away any extras, and collects dots off the last two deliveries, as Rahim remains unbeaten on 72 off 55 balls but fails to get his team through on this occasion, 

India win by 17 runs and are the first team to book their place in the final. Sri Lanka and Bangladesh now face off in a virtual semi-final on Friday.

OUT! Mehedi tries going big down the ground, but ends up holing out to Raina at long-off, as Siraj collects his first wicket — using the knuckle ball to good effect on this occasion. BAN 150/6

After 19 overs,Bangladesh 149/5 ( Mushfiqur Rahim (W) 63 , Mehidy Hasan 7)

Rahim smacks the ball through covers off the first ball of the over, coming back for a second after Pandey cuts the ball off in the deep. Single collected off each of the third and fourth deliveries. Just five off the over, with Thakur signing off with figures of 1/37 from four overs. He conceded 19 off his first, and 18 off the next three while collecting the wicket of Rahman. 

Bangladesh need a massive 28 off the last six balls. Rahim, batting on 63, will be on strike.

After 18 overs,Bangladesh 144/5 ( Mushfiqur Rahim (W) 59 , Mehidy Hasan 6)

Rahim starts off with back-to-back boundaries, extending Siraj a rough welcome back into the attack, with the Bangladeshi keeper-batsman bringing up his second consecutive T20I half-century. Makes it back-to-back boundaries, shuffling to his right off the next ball and scooping it over the keeper. Siraj concedes a no-ball called for height, missing a run-out chance at the same time with Rahim setting off for the non-striker’s end. Mehedi makes the most of the free-hit, carving the ball towards backward point for a four. Expensive over for Siraj, with 16 coming off it.

After 17 overs,Bangladesh 128/5 ( Mushfiqur Rahim (W) 49 , Mehidy Hasan 1)

Thakur is brought back into the attack, with Sabbir hammering him towards the midwicket fence for a four off the second delivery. Thakur however, hits back two balls later, clipping his off-stump to send him back for 27. Eight runs and a wicket off the over. 49 needed for Bangladesh off 18.

BOWLED EM! Swing and a miss, and Sabbir is starting to trudge back to the dressing room, as Thakur gets the much-needed breakthrough for the Indians by clipping the batsman’s off-stump with a knuckle ball! BAN 126/5

Sabbir b Thakur 27(23)

After 16 overs,Bangladesh 120/4 ( Mushfiqur Rahim (W) 48 , Sabbir Rahman 21)

Sundar’s brought back into the attack for his final over, and keeps it tight to build further pressure on the Bangladeshis, giving away just four runs off it, including a double to Rahim off the last delivery. Bangladesh need another 57 off the last four overs. Sundar, meanwhile, signs off with figures of 3/22.

After 15 overs,Bangladesh 116/4 ( Mushfiqur Rahim (W) 45 , Sabbir Rahman 20)

Shankar’s brought back into the attack in the 15th over. Rahim collects a single at the start of the over, before Sabbir collects a double to bring up the fifty-stand for the fifth wicket. Seven off the over, with two coming off the last delivery, as Rahman guides the ball towards square-leg.

After 14 overs,Bangladesh 109/4 ( Mushfiqur Rahim (W) 43 , Sabbir Rahman 15)

Thakur returns to the attack, and bowls an over that is in complete contrast to his 19-run first over, as he gives away just five singles off it, with Rahim and Rahman being forced to rotate the strike between themselves.

After 13 overs,Bangladesh 104/4 ( Mushfiqur Rahim (W) 40 , Sabbir Rahman 13)

Four runs off the first four deliveries, including a leg bye, as Chahal is brought back into the attack one final time. Would’ve been a good over, had it not been for the six off his last ball of the evening that Rahman smashes over the cow-corner for a six. 10 off the over, with Bangladesh’s run-rate now touching eight an over.

After 12 overs,Bangladesh 94/4 ( Mushfiqur Rahim (W) 38 , Sabbir Rahman 6)

Rahim smacks a full delivery outside off towards the extra-cover fence to collect his fourth boundary. Comes back for a second run next ball after guiding it towards midwicket. Rahman collects his first boundary with a swing of the bat that sends the ball running towards the long-leg boundary. Two runs collected by Rahim off the last ball. 14 off the over, with 30 coming off the last two. Some recovery for the Bangladeshis.

After 11 overs,Bangladesh 80/4 ( Mushfiqur Rahim (W) 29 , Sabbir Rahman 1)

Appeal for caught behind at the start of Siraj’s second over, though the sound on this occasion was that of Rahim’s bat hitting his pad. Rahim then collects fours off successive deliveries guiding it towards cow-corner and third man respectively. Charges down the pitch and hammers the ball towards the long-off boundary cushion to collect his first six. 16 off the over — a much-needed one for the Tigers.
