The second match on day 35 of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022, Team India clashed against Bangladesh. At the Adelaide Oval, Rohit Sharma lost the toss and was asked to bat first in a crucial match that would decide their qualification hopes. India also entered the field with the intent to disprove Shakib Al Hassan’s comment of causing the Indian team an upset by defeating them.

India was hoping that KL Rahul delivers some important runs in the tournament and today was the day he showed a great positive sign. The Karnatak-born Indian opener scored a half-century in just 32 balls to give the men in blue a head start after captain Rohit Sharma departed early.

Run machine Virat Kohli again was the dominant force as he stayed till the end of the innings to score 64 of 44 with Surya Kumar smashing a quick 30 of 16. R Ashwin who started his career as an opener showed his batting skills as he finished the innings with a six and a four in the last over to bring the Indian total to 184 for 6.

Hasan Mahmud took 3 wickets and captain Shakib Al Hassan bagged 2 wickets for the team as Taskin Ahmed remained the only economical bowler. For Bangladesh, Litton Das started the innings off in a flash as he smashed every bowler that came in front of him. He got run out on 60 of just 27 with an amazing near-boundary throw from KL Rahul who did nothing wrong today.

There were showers of rains that restricted the game to only 16 overs where the target was reduced to 151. Afif Hussain, Yasir Ali, and Mosaddek Hussain went early with Nurul Hasan and Taskin Ahmed on the crease as Bangladesh lost the game with 6 runs remaining on the board.
