Bangladesh lost an opportunity to beat India in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 in Adelaide. They needed to score 85 runs off 54 balls with 10 wickets in hand, but Shakib Al Hasan and the team failed to do that in overcast conditions on a cold evening.  The rain may be blamed partially for shifting the momentum from Bangladesh to India. Bangladesh were batting at 66 for none when the match was interrupted, and eventually, it ended as a close game that never seemed to be after India posted a massive total of 184.  In the last over, Bangladesh needed to score 20 runs to seal the match, but the Tigers managed to score 14 runs. Nurul Hasan Sohan hit Arshdeep Singh for a six and a four, but those were not enough for Bangladesh to pull off a win.  Read more:T20 World Cup 2022: Despite fighting tooth and nail, Bangladesh lose to India Liton Das, who was unbeaten for 59 before the rain, managed only a run and got trapped in a run-out. That was the point from which Bangladesh started to lose the match. Bangladesh kept losing wickets after Liton’s dismissal and eventually, they fell short of five runs and lost the match.  Bangladesh lost two wickets each in the 11th and 12th overs after the openers were sent back. Nurul Hasan Sohan, the wicketkeeper-batter, scored 25 off 14 balls but failed to finish it well.  Liton was the highest scorer for Bangladesh with 60 off only 27 balls with seven fours and three sixes. But his effort went in vain as the other batsmen failed to continue on the foundation he laid down. Bangladesh ended up on 145 for six.  For India, Arshdeep and Hardik Pandya scalped two wickets each.  “It's been the story when we play against India, we are almost there but we don't finish the line,” Bangladesh Captain Shakib Al Hasan said after the match.  “Both teams enjoyed it, it was a great game and that's what we wanted. In the end, someone has to win and someone has to lose.” 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.  Shoriful Islam, who was picked up in this match replacing Soumya Sarkar, conceded 57 runs and failed to bag any wickets. Hasan Mahmud, the other pacer, bagged three wickets but conceded more than 11 runs an over.  Bangladeshi bowlers were impressive in the powerplay 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.  Read more:T20 World Cup 2022: Shakib and Afif out, Bangladesh at 101 for 4 Taskin was imperious from the first over.

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 Shoriful Islam who came to the playing XI replacing Soumya Sarkar. 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 and Lokesh added 67 runs on the board off just 37 balls. But, Bangladesh somewhat 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 three with Virat 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 to get 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, India topped the points table of Group 2 of Super 12 with six points from three wins, and South Africa are right behind them with five points.

But Zimbabwe lost 3-20 in six overs as van Meekeren and Glover made early inroads. Sikandar Raza, who top-scored with an aggressive 40 from 24 balls, and Sean Williams (28 from 23) steadied with an innings-high 48-run partnership.

Raza and Williams did really well to get us back into the game but unfortunately we couldn’t finish it off,” Ervine added. “With the ball, we didn’t find enough movement."
