India secured a six-wicket win over Bangladesh in their Group A clash at the Dubai International Stadium on Thursday, February 20. After opting to bat, Bangladesh collapsed to 35/5 but managed to recover and post 228 runs. India struggled in the middle overs but reached the target with 21 balls to spare.
“I don’t think there would have been (any tension) among the fans. It’s Bangladesh… you guys have made me praise them so much as if they are an incredible team,” Virender Sehwag said on Cricbuzz Live.
I Could See This Match Getting Over in 35 Overs - Virender Sehwag
Virender Sehwag felt that India could have wrapped up the chase much earlier. He stated that Shubman Gill played a composed innings and added that the match would have finished in just 35 overs had Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, or Shreyas Iyer stayed at the crease longer.
Bangladesh Had a Chance to Put India Under More Pressure
Bangladesh had a chance to put India under more pressure by exposing their lower middle order during the chase. However, Jaker Ali dropped a catch in the deep off Taskin Ahmed’s bowling in the 37th over, giving KL Rahul a reprieve. After that, India comfortably chased down the target to secure victory.
However, India overcame them in Dubai and will now turn their focus to their upcoming match against Pakistan at the same venue on Sunday, February 23.
