Abhishek Sharma continued his sublime form
The evening began with fireworks from Abhishek Sharma, who continued his sensational run of form. His rollicking start gave India early momentum, cracking boundaries with ease and putting the Bangladeshi bowlers under pressure. At one point, a 200-plus total looked very much on the cards. But cricket is a game of moments, and Abhishek’s unfortunate run-out turned out to be one of them. It derailed the innings, causing a sudden loss of tempo.
India ended-up posting 168
India eventually finished with 168 on the board – still a competitive total, but perhaps 25-30 runs short of what seemed possible at the halfway mark.
Saif Hassan played a fighting knock
In response, Bangladesh never really got going. Saif Hassan battled hard, showing grit and determination to keep his team in the hunt. But luck was heavily on his side, as India dropped him not once or twice, but four times. Those missed chances gave Bangladesh a sliver of hope, but they failed to capitalize.
Indian spinners lit-up
Eventually, Jasprit Bumrah brought an end to Saif’s charmed stay, and with that wicket, India’s grip on the game tightened. From there, it was the Indian wrist-spinners who truly stole the show. Sharing five wickets between them, they squeezed the life out of Bangladesh’s middle and lower order, ensuring there was no late fightback.
First team to reach final
The result not only confirms India’s place in the final, but also knocks Sri Lanka out of the tournament. That leaves just one more spot in the title clash, and it’ll come down to a do-or-die clash between Pakistan and Bangladesh – a virtual semifinal with everything on the line.
