World Twenty20: India edge past Bangladesh in thriller...
India revived their World Twenty20 hopes with a thrilling one-run victory over Bangladesh in Bangalore.
The hosts' second win of the event puts them second in Group 2 but third-placed Australia have a game in hand.
Seven
of the nine India batsmen reached double figures, with nine fours and
six sixes, but Suresh Raina's 30 was the top score in their modest
146-7.
Needing 11 from the final over and two from three balls, the Tigers lost three wickets from the final three balls.
India's
final group match is against the Australians in Chandigarh on Sunday,
while Bangladesh face the already qualified New Zealand in Kolkata a day
earlier.
Tigers throw it away
Bangladesh
had lost all four previous T20 encounters with India but seemed
destined for a famous victory that would have left all four other teams
in the group bidding to join the Kiwis in the semi-finals level on two
points.
Wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim had thumped the second ball
of Hardik Pandya's final over to the extra-cover boundary and somehow
collected four more off the glove past counterpart MS Dhoni's dive.
But
an adrenaline-fuelled Mushfiqur tried to end the match in style and
holed out to deep mid-wicket, Mahmudullah suffered the same fate and a
calm Dhoni ran to the stumps to thwart Mustafizur Rahman's quest for a
bye that would have forced a super over.
