India beat Bangladesh by 6 wickets

22:58 (IST)

Well that's it from us in our coverage of the second game of the Nidahas Trophy 2018. After the loss against Sri Lanka in the tournament opener, India were clinical in all departments today (except maybe fielding) as they outplayed Bangladesh to register a six-wicket victory, and move to the top of the table with their first win. The action shifts to Sunday now, with hosts Sri Lanka now taking on Bangladesh on Saturday. Let's see if the Bangladesh get the one victory that they desperately need to turn things around, as mentioned by captain Mahmudullah in the post-match presentation. 


For now, this is Amit signing off on behalf of my colleague Shantanu. Good night!

Rohit Sharma, India captain: It was a great performance; it was clinical. We thought hitting the length will work on this pitch, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. We kept things simple and did the basics right. I think there's room for improvement in catching. Not an ideal day for us in the field; we are much better than that. Hopefully, we will not repeat that mistake.

22:51 (IST)

Vijay Shankar, Man of the Match: I have been looking forward for this, have been working very hard on my bowling for last few overs. Lot of people inspired me. My parents and family have been with me throughout. Everyone in the dressing room is very supportive.

22:51 (IST)

Mahmudullah, Bangladesh captain: I think its obvious that we didn't bat well. We should have scored 30 more runs. But they executed well. Bowlers did pretty good job. I think we need to rotate the strike more often, because the dot balls are creating more pressure on batsmen. I think we are just one win away, if we get one win that will boost us up. We are still searching for that win. 

22:35 (IST)

This is India's sixth consecutive win for India against Bangladesh in T20Is.

Good six-wicket win for India with 8 balls to spare. They needed the win after losing to Lanka in the first match. Puts them in the right frame of mind to take on Lanka again on March 12. Uphill task for Bangladesh to get back in the tournament. They haven't looked convincing.

INDIA WIN BY SIX WICKETS! The 'Men in Blue' are finally off the mark in the tri-series, as they beat Bangladesh convincingly in the second game of the tournament! Pandey collects a single off the fourth delivery of the 19th over to bring up the winning moment!

Rubel Hossain returns to the attack in the 19th over of the innings. Should be the last over, with just three needed to win for India.

India vs Bangladesh, 2nd T20I in Colombo, Latest Updates: Rubel is introduced in the 19th over, and it turns out to be the last of the innings, as Pandey and Karthik rotate the strike between themselves to collect three singles and take their team home.

Preview: A new-look Indian team will aim to recover from the five-wicket loss against Sri Lanka in the opening match when they face Bangladesh in the second match of the Nidahas Trophy Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket tri-series in Colombo on Thursday.

Kusal Perera's brilliant 66 off 37 balls and some crucial contributions from the middle-order helped Sri Lanka beat India in the first game.

After the Indian batsmen put up a decent target of 175, their bowlers failed to make a mark as the hosts hammered them all around the park.

Spinners Yuzvendra Chahal (2/37) and Washington Sundar (2/28) provided the crucial breakthroughs to control the run-flow.

Towards the end, Dasun Shanaka (15 not out) and Thisara Perera (22 not out) played sensibly and helped their team clinch the issue.

After the loss, skipper Rohit Sharma also said that the track was good and batsmen could have score more towards the end. So in the upcoming match, middle and lower-order batsmen will aim to contribute and try to give the perfect finish.

In the bowling department, apart from the Chahal and Sundar no other bowler contributed. However, pacer Jaidev Unadkat scalped one wicket but in order to improve the performance from the last match, other bowlers have to contribute handsomely.

On the other hand, Bangladesh will take on the field without their regular skipper and all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, who is injured. In his absence, Mahmudullah will take charge.

This could be an advantage to India if the Indian players stuck to the basics.

Squads:

India: Rohit Sharma (c), Shikhar Dhawan (vc), KL Rahul, Suresh Raina, Manish Pandey, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Deepak Hooda, Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Vijay Shankar, Shardul Thakur, Jaydev Unadkat, Mohammad Siraj and Rishabh Pant.

Bangladesh: Mahmudullah (c), Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Imrul Kayes, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Sabbir Rahman, Mustafizur Rahman, Rubel Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Abu Hider, Abu Jayed, Ariful Haque, Nazmul Islam, Nurul Hasan, Mehidy Hasan, Liton Das.
