T20 World Cup 2022: Despite fighting tooth and nail, Bangladesh lose to India
Bangladesh lost their fourth match of the Super 12 of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 to India by five runs in Adelaide on Wednesday. In the last over, Bangladesh needed to score 20 runs to seal the match, but the Tigers managed to score 14 runs.

That was the point at which Bangladesh started to lose the match. Bangladesh kept losing the wicket after Liton’s dismissal, and eventually they fell short by five runs and lost the match. For India, Arshdeep and Hardik Pandya took two wickets each.
Earlier, Virat Kohli smashed an unbeaten 64 off 44 balls and propelled India to a massive total of 184 for six against Bangladesh in their fourth match of the Super 12 stage of the World Cup.

The Bangladeshi bowlers were impressive in the power play when they conceded only 37 runs, picking up one wicket. Hasan missed a dolly from Rohit Sharma at the boundary, off the ball of Taskin Ahmed. But in the fourth over, Hasan removed Rohit for two as Yasir took a great catch.

Taskin was imperious from the first over. He bowled out his overs early in the innings, conceding just 15 runs. At one point, he seemed unplayable for the Indian batters. But he was unlucky and ended up wicketless.
Lokesh Rahul was on fire in the middle. He smashed 24 runs off the ninth over bowled by Shoiful Islam. The left-arm seamer conceded two sixes in that over with a no-ball and a wide. Rahul picked up his fifty off just 31 balls. Shakib conceded 10 runs off his first over but managed to scalp the dangerous wicket of Lokesh.
Virat played some glorious shots after coming to bat after the dismissal of Rohit. Virat Kohli and Lokesh Rahul added 67 runs on the board off just 37 balls. But Bangladesh somehow managed to contain Virat in the middle.
But in the 15th over, Virat hit two fours off Mustafizur Rahman with an inside edge that went past the stumps. After the 15th over, India were at 130 for 3, with Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya batting for 40 and five, respectively.

Hardik came to bat after Shakib bowled Suryakumar Yadav for 30 off 16 balls. The number-one T20 batter was getting dangerous before Shakib trapped him.
In the last five overs, India added 54 runs, with Virat hitting a 37-ball fifty and ending up on 64 off 44 balls. Before Virat reached his fifty, Hasan removed Hardik Pandya off the first ball of the 16th over. With this unbeaten 64*, Virat passed the 200-run mark in this World Cup so far.
A dual effort from Shakib and Shoriful managed to send Dinesh Karthik back trapped in a run-out. He has a history of getting dangerous in the death overs against Bangladesh. Shakib bagged two wickets, while Mustafizur Rahman conceded 31 runs but failed to get any wickets.
With this win against Bangladesh, India got one step closer to the semifinals of the T20 World Cup 2022.

Ahead of Sunday’s clash, Sridharan Sriram, the technical consultant for the Tigers, said Bangladesh need a second win in the T20 World Cup now as that will help them gain confidence in the matches against Pakistan and India.
In the first match, Bangladesh won, riding on the wonderful pace-bowling of Taskin Ahmed and Hasan Mahmud. But in the second, Bangladesh suffered in every department of the game and endured a defeat by a margin of 104 runs. That big defeat cast the old cloud over Bangladesh’s capacity in T20Is.
But Sridharan said they are not thinking much about what has already happened.
“Whether you win massively, lose massively, the next day it’s gone. You wake up, train, travel and play. So nothing changes from our side,” he said today, ahead of the Zimbabwe match.

Opening the batting was among the main concerns for Bangladesh ahead of the tournament. But Sridharan said he is happy with what Najmul Hossain Shanto and Soumya Sarkar are doing so far. Sriram also stated that he is no longer concerned about the opening stand.
“We are building a side and the confidence of the boys, they know where they stand in world cricket and where they want to go,” he said. “We already have the base of a good team. If we can add a few more skillsets, I think we can build a very good T20 side for the future.”
Bangladesh have three matches left in the Super 12 Round of the T20 World Cup 2022 and they need to make a strong comeback against Zimbabwe on Sunday in order to stay firm in the tournament.

T20 World Cup 2022: Current scenario of Super 12s points table
The eighth edition of the Twenty20 format World Cup has heated up as all the teams in both groups are still in the race for a semifinal spot. The tournament’s Super 12 Round has been haunted heavily by the inclement weather as four matches have already been abandoned this round. Let’s take a look at the current scenario of the Super 12s points table of the T20 World Cup 2022.
Twenty20 World Cup 2022: Points standing scenarios for Group 1 and Group 2
Prior to the Super 12 Round, three teams from each group were considered favourites to earn a place in the semifinals. But that equation has changed since this round started on October 22. The cricket world has already seen two upsets in each group of Super 12s.
Read: T20 World Cup: Australia-England match also washed out due to rain
The group stage scenarios have become even more intriguing after Ireland defeated England by 5 runs and Zimbabwe defeated Pakistan by 1 run, making the group stage scenarios even more intriguing. Here are the current scenarios for each group.
Group 1
The hot favourites and reigning champions, Australia, started their campaign with a disappointing 89-run loss to New Zealand on October 22. The Aussie side’s massive defeat to the Blackcaps was a shock to many, but it immediately made the competition even more interesting.
Five matches have been staged in this group so far, and three matches were abandoned due to rain. The cancellation of the fixtures has had a huge impact on the overall points standings in this group. The matches that have been abandoned so far are Afghanistan vs New Zealand, Afghanistan vs Ireland, and the big contest between Australia and New Zealand were canceled due to inclement weather conditions.
Afghanistan are sitting at the bottom of the points table with 2 points without winning a contest. On the other hand, New Zealand, England, Ireland, and Australia all have 3 points each and hold the top four spots based on run rates.
New Zealand and Sri Lanka are in a favourable position to move to the semifinals as they have three matches left each. The rest of the teams in Group 1 have two matches left each.

Group 2
The Group 2’s Super 12 Round started with a big match between arch-rivals India and Pakistan on October 23. The Indian side overcame the nerve-wracking contest by 4 wickets. India remained in the top spot with a comfortable victory over the Netherlands in their second match.
Pakistan's campaign, on the other hand, was expected to make a strong comeback after their disappointing loss to India in their opening fixture. However, they conceded a mere 1-run defeat to Zimbabwe in their second encounter and currently are at the second bottom of the Group 2 point standings.
South Africa showed a dominating performance against Bangladesh after losing points with Zimbabwe in their opening match. Bangladesh started their campaign with a good victory over the Netherlands, but they were really poor against the Proteas side in their second outing of the competition.
All the teams in this group have played two matches each and are still in the race for a place in the semifinals.

T20 World Cup 2022: Bangladesh player ratings vs South Africa
On Thursday, South Africa showed Bangladesh the major gap they have with the big opposition when it comes to T20 cricket. The Proteas side thumped the Tigers by a huge 104 runs in their second match of the T20 World Cup 2022. Let’s have a look at the Bangladesh team’s player ratings against the South African side.
BAN vs SA 2022: Bangladesh player ratings
The confidence level of the Bangladesh team was high after their satisfying victory over the Netherlands in the opening fixture. On the other hand, the South African side was under pressure after losing points against Zimbabwe due to inclement weather. So,it was expected that the Proteas side would come out with a lot of aggression against the Tigers in order to increase their run rates.
South African players did exactly what they planned to do against Bangladesh. In contrast, Bangladesh's players choked big time and suffered a huge defeat. Here are the player ratings of the Bangladesh cricketers.
Read More: T20 World Cup: South Africa outplay Bangladesh to win Sydney match
Najmul Hossain Shanto (2/10)Opener Najmul Hossain Shanto only made 9 runs before losing his wicket to pacer Anrich Nortje in the third over. He played a very bad shot off an incoming delivery by Nortje, which resulted in a clean bowled.
Soumya Sarkar (3/10)
Soumya smacked two beautiful sixes in the mid-wicket region and showed intent to chase down South Africa’s massive 206 run target. But after making a 26-run stand with Najmul Hossain in 2 overs, Soumya lost his wicket to Anrich Nortje.
Litton Das (5/10)
Litton Das played a decent 34 off 31 balls knock after coming to the crease in the third over. He stayed at the crease till the 14th over, witnessing the wickets fall of the Bangladesh players.
Shakib Al Hasan (4/10)Shakib is yet to fulfill his expectations in the ongoing Twenty20 World Cup. The left-hand all-rounder made 1 run and picked up 2 wickets with the ball at an economy rate of 11.
Afif Hossain (3/10)
Afif didn’t do much with the bat in this match, scoring only 1 run. But he got the wicket of Quinton de Kock when bowling the 15th over.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz (2/10)
Yasir Ali was replaced by off-spinning all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz for this match. However, his inclusion proved to be fruitless. Miraz conceded 32 runs in 3 overs and made 11 runs with the bat.
Mosaddek Hossain (2/10)Mosaddek played a crucial knock in the last match against the Netherlands. But he didn’t do anything against South Africa. Mosaddek conceded 16 runs in 2 overs and made a duck with the bat.

Nurul Hasan (2/10)Wicket-keeper Nurul Hasan too had a flop day against South Africa. Nurul contributed only two runs with the bat.
Taskin Ahmed (3/10)Pacer Taskin Ahmed started his spell brilliantly, picking the wicket of South Africa captain Temba Bavuma in the first over. But Taskin lost his line and lengths in the second over and eventually finished his spell with 3-0-46-1.
Hasan Mahmud (5/10)
Hasan Mahmud continued his good showing with the ball in the match against South Africa. The promising young pacer finished his spell with a 4-0-36-1.
Mustafizur Rahman (7/10)
Mustafizur Rahman was arguably the best Bangladeshi performer against South Africa. The left-arm pacer had the best economy rate among the bowlers despite remaining wicketless. Mustafizur's final tally was 4-0-25-0.
Aftermath
Bangladesh's 104-run loss against South Africa was their biggest defeat in T20 cricket, making the Shakib-led team even more embarrassing. The bowling unit performed well in Bangladesh's opening T20 World Cup 2022 encounter against the Netherlands, which enabled them to win the match. But against South Africa, the Tigers woefully failed in every area, which had an impact on their players' ratings.
