Commentary

Right then, that is all we have from this thriller! The caravan will move to Sydney now and it will be Pakistan going up against South Africa. That game will start at 1.30 pm (8 am GMT) on Thursday, 3rd of November. As you all know, you can join early for the build-up. Till then, it's goodbye and cheers!

Rohit Sharma, the victorious skipper of India is in for a chat. He starts by saying he was calm and nervous at the same time by the end of the game. Adds it was important for the group to stay calm and execute the plans to perfections. Informs when Arshdeep Singh came into the side they asked him to focus on the death bowling role. Adds they prepared him well since the past 6-8 months and adds he backed him in this innings as well. Praises Kohli for the forms he has shown at the biggest stage. Also, says that he is impressed with how KL Rahul batted which is another positive signs. Informs that he thinks their fielding was very crucial with the way the catches were taken under pressure.

Shakib Al Hasan, the skipper of Bangladesh talks about the narrow loss and says that it has been a story when they play against India, they are almost there all the time but fail to cross the line. Adds that it was a great game for the fans and players and applauds Das for the way he played. Tells that India’s top four are very dangerous and their plan was to take those wickets early and that is why Taskin Ahmed bowled four overs on the trot at the start. Mentions that they have been pretty relaxed in the dressing room and adds that they played well in this game and would like to do the same in the next game.

Virat Kohli is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH. He says that it was a pretty close game but not as close as they wanted it to be. Goes on to say that he tried to curb his enthusiasm to play risky shots and rather spend some more time at the crease. Adds that he is just in a happy space and is really happy to contribute for the team. Mentions, he was pretty excited to play cricket in Australia and always aims to play good cricketing shot. Informs that he loves to play at this ground. Adds that it makes him feel at home and says Adelaide Oval has been very kind to him.

Time for the Presentation.

Earlier in the game, India posted a big score courtesy of half-centuries by KL Rahul and Virat Kohli. For Bangladesh, Hasan Mahmud took three wickets but overall India were the favourites to win this one going into the second half. They managed to held their nerves after some tense moments in the second half and are right on the track to book a semifinal spot now.

Indian management and their fans would be pretty happy with how the players reacted when they were put under the pump. They were carted all around the ground before the rain break but they lifted their game up after that break and bowled and fielded brilliantly to take this game home. KL Rahul's magical effort in the field was really the turning point but after that Arshdeep Singh bowled brilliantly at the death. Shami too provided a crucial breakthrough and the death bowling which was a concern before the World Cup has been really good so far from the Indians in this World Cup.

There are tears in the eyes of the Bangladesh players and their fans but at one point in time they were the one who were rejoicing as Litton Das came out all guns blazing in this chase. Bangladesh were set a target of 185 initially and they got off to a dream start with Das taking on every Indian bowler with ease. However, the rain gods decided to take the centrestage for some time and Bangladesh then with 10 wickets in hand needed 85 in 9 overs after the game was reduced to 16 overs. However, soon after the break, Das was run out courtesy of a special effort by KL Rahul and after that wickets just kept tumbling. Nurul Hasan in the end, tried his best to take Bangladesh over the line, but it was the case of so near yet so far for Bangla Tigers again.

Wow! This World Cup continues to dish out one thriller after another! What a game this turned out to be. However, much to the agony of the Bangladeshi fans, it is India who have prevailed in this cracker of a game! India now go to the top of the table in this Group 2 and are favourites to take one semifinal spot from hereon. Bangladesh, on the other hand, would feel that they missed out on a golden opportunity to grab two points here. They were in the pole position before the rain break but lost their way after that break and in the end have fallen short despite the late flourish by Nurul Hasan.

Commentary

We are back for the chase! The Indian team is in the huddle and they disperse now to take their respective positions. They are followed by Litton Das and Najmul Hossain Shanto who walk out to open for Bangladesh. It will be Bhuvneshwar Kumar to operate with the new ball. Here we go...

... The Run Chase ...

Right then. India will certainyl back their bowlers to defend this target. Although, this tournament has been full of surprises. Bangladesh came into this game as the undergods but can they do the unthinkable here? Let us find out soon. Chase coming up shortly.

KL Rahul says that it has been a bit of a mixed time and tells that he came into the World Cup with some runs and batted well in the warm-up as well. Adds that things didn’t go well before this match for him in this World Cup but says that he was batting well in the nets and mentions that it feels good to get runs under the belt. Feels that they can defend this total and adds that there is something in the pitch for the bowlers and if they can bowl in the right areas, they can defend this total.

Bangladesh dominated in the Powerplay. They had India under the pump but they faltered in the middle overs. Hasan Mahmud dropped Rohit Sharma early on, but later redeemed himself by picking up three important wickets for his side. Shakib Al Hasan also did really well to apply some pressure in the middle overs by bagging two wickets. Bangladesh will need to turn on the heat with the blade here.

It was a rather slow start for India. They could not take on the new-ball bowlers as they would've liked with the overcast conditions benefitting the seamers. Rohit Sharma was the first one to depart, although KL Rahul found his mojo back and answered the critics with his stunnning half-century. He got a great support by Kohli, who later continued to hit the ball well and remains unbeaten on 64. Suryakumar Yadav and Ravichandran Ashwin both of them played crucial cameos to get over the 180-run mark.

A dominating performance by India! Virat Kohli shines once again in his favourite hunting ground, Adelaide Oval. Bangladesh would be disappointed with their death bowling, as it is India who head into the break with the momentum on their side.

OUT! RUN OUT! Dinesh Karthik is gone and this is a big wicket for Bangladesh! Dinesh Karthik can be dangerous in these death overs. This is full and outside off. Kohli drives it to the extra-cover region. Shakib Al Hasan there makes a good stop and throws it towards the bowler's end as Dinesh Karthik is almost halway down the pitch looking for a run. He though is sent back by Kohli and puts in a dive to get back to his crease. However, Islam fails to collect the ball cleanly and the ball ends up hitting the stumps. Dinesh Karthik is out of his crease as the replays confirm it.

Is that a run out? The umpire takes it upstairs to confirm. The replays later confirm that Dinesh Karthik is short of the crease and he has to walk back here.

16.52

FIFTY FOR VIRAT KOHLI! This man just continues to score runs here at the Adelaide Oval! Another typical Virat Kohli master-class this. A low full toss, outside off. Kohli  drives it to sweeper cover for a couple.

7.21W

OUT! RUN OUT! Litton Das is gone and he is absolutely gutted. Indians are pumped up and they have got a big wicket here just after the break. This is fuller on leg. Shanto skips down the track and clips it to deep mid-wicket;. Rahul in the deep collects the ball and fires a direct hit at the bowler's end. Das who is running back to the bowler's end to complete the second run slips first and then puts in a dive to make his ground. He, however, is short of the crease and Bangladesh lose their first.

Is that a run out? Well looks like it as the batter continues his walk towards the dug out. Later, the third umpire confirms the same. A huge blow for Bangladesh. Is this the shift in momentum that India were after?

Litton Das seems to be in some pain. The physio is out to nurse the same. Hope it isn't serious.

7.11

A fuller delivery on middle. Das drives it to long on for a single. Das slips as he completes this single.

We are ready for the resumption. After slight delay caused due to rain, we have a revised target for Bangladesh. The opening pair strides out to the middle yet again. Followed by the Indian players who take the field. It will be Ravichandran Ashwin who gets the ball in hand now.

Update 4.45 pm IST (11.15 am GMT) - We have a start time folks! The game will start at 4.50 pm IST (11.20 am GMT). It will be a 16-over affair now and  the revised target for Bangladesh is 151. Shakib Al Hasan was probably not happy with the decision and had an animated chat with the umpires.

Update - 4.30 pm IST (11 am GMT) - Good news folks! The covers are being taken off. However, the pitch still remains covered because it is still drizzling but it is expected to stop soon. The groundstaff are looking pretty optimistic out there and we shall start soon once the rain stops.

Update - 4.15 pm IST (10.45 am GMT) - The rain is playing hide and seek at the moment. It was off a few minutes back but it is drizzling at the moment.  The players are near the boundary ropes and while covers are still on the square, the work of drying the outfield outside the circle has already started. We shall start losing overs from 4.28 pm IST (10.58 am GMT).

Will we see a change in bowling now? Oh wait, we need to wait for some action here as the rain gods have decided to make their presence felt.

Update - 4.00 pm IST (10.30 am GMT) - It has suddenly started raining here at the Adelaide Oval! Bangladesh are 17 runs ahead of the DLS par score. Covers have come on and let's hope that it is just a passing shower. There is heavy wind blowing across the ground as well and in all probability it shall not be a long delay.

Commentary

We are back for the chase! The Indian team is in the huddle and they disperse now to take their respective positions. They are followed by Litton Das and Najmul Hossain Shanto who walk out to open for Bangladesh. It will be Bhuvneshwar Kumar to operate with the new ball. Here we go...

... The Run Chase ...

Right then. India will certainyl back their bowlers to defend this target. Although, this tournament has been full of surprises. Bangladesh came into this game as the undergods but can they do the unthinkable here? Let us find out soon. Chase coming up shortly.

KL Rahul says that it has been a bit of a mixed time and tells that he came into the World Cup with some runs and batted well in the warm-up as well. Adds that things didn’t go well before this match for him in this World Cup but says that he was batting well in the nets and mentions that it feels good to get runs under the belt. Feels that they can defend this total and adds that there is something in the pitch for the bowlers and if they can bowl in the right areas, they can defend this total.

Bangladesh dominated in the Powerplay. They had India under the pump but they faltered in the middle overs. Hasan Mahmud dropped Rohit Sharma early on, but later redeemed himself by picking up three important wickets for his side. Shakib Al Hasan also did really well to apply some pressure in the middle overs by bagging two wickets. Bangladesh will need to turn on the heat with the blade here.

It was a rather slow start for India. They could not take on the new-ball bowlers as they would've liked with the overcast conditions benefitting the seamers. Rohit Sharma was the first one to depart, although KL Rahul found his mojo back and answered the critics with his stunnning half-century. He got a great support by Kohli, who later continued to hit the ball well and remains unbeaten on 64. Suryakumar Yadav and Ravichandran Ashwin both of them played crucial cameos to get over the 180-run mark.

A dominating performance by India! Virat Kohli shines once again in his favourite hunting ground, Adelaide Oval. Bangladesh would be disappointed with their death bowling, as it is India who head into the break with the momentum on their side.

It's a great atmosphere out there with a jam-packed Adelaide Oval! The players from both sides walk out to the middle for the national anthems. It will be Bangladesh's anthem first followed by the Indian national anthem.

Rohit Sharma, the skipper of India is in for a chat. He says that they were looking to bat first anyways. He hopes that they can play some good cricket and gather crucial points. Adds the weather is nice and would love to perform well after the loss in the previous encounter. Mentions there is a single change to the side with Axar Patel coming in for Deepak Hooda.

Shakib Al Hasan, the captain of Bangladesh says that they will bowl first because of the overcast conditions and they don’t know how the pitch will behave. Tells that it is a big game for them and adds that the boys know what is coming their way and they are looking to do well. Mentions that they have played quite well so far and are looking forward to this game. Informs that they have one change with Soumya Sarkar missing out and Shoriful Islam will be replacing him.

INDIA (Playing XI) - KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma (C), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik (WK), Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel (In for Deepak Hooda), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammad Shami, Arshdeep Singh.

BANGLADESH (Playing XI) - Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das, Shakib Al Hasan (C), Afif Hossain, Yasir Ali, Nurul Hasan (WK), Mosaddek Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud, Shoriful Islam (In for Soumya Sarkar), Taskin Ahmed.

TOSS - The coin goes up and lands in favour of Bangladesh. They have opted to FIELD first.

We should have been done with the toss till now, but the first game of the day finished a bit late, so there is a slight delay in the toss. As far as overhead conditions are concerned, it is bit overcast at the moment.

So, the first game of the day between Netherlands and Zimbabwe is completed now. The Dutch have come out on top in that game and have registered their first win in the Super 12 stage in this World Cup. Time to get ready for the action from this game now!

Bangladesh, on the other hand, are coming into this game on the back of a thrilling win against Zimbabwe. However, they need to be at the top of their game in this one to get another two points in their kitty. Bangladesh’s bowling attack is pretty formidable with Taskin Ahmed leading the way and Mustafizur Rahman showing all his class in the last game. A lot though will depend on how their batters perform and if they can get their act together, we might have an interesting contest here. Stay tuned for the toss and further updates. 

India have played some good cricket in this World Cup and though they lost their last game, they surely are the favourites to win this one. The biggest positive for India so far is the way their pacers are bowling while most of the batters have also got runs under their belt. The concern though would be the form of KL Rahul and it is high time that he joins the party. However, it would be interesting to see if India persist with Deepak Hooda or make a change or two in their playing XI.

Hello and a very warm welcome folks! We are at the picturesque Adelaide Oval and it will be India going up against Bangladesh in this important Group 2 fixture. This has been a fascinating World Cup so far and expect these two Asian sides to put on a show here as they look to grab two crucial points from this game.

... MATCH DAY …
