Dinesh Karthik’s last ball 6 helps India win Nidahas Trophy final
For what was a celebration of Sri Lanka’s independence, the two visitors have got a chance to win the trophy. India finally managed to maintain its unbeaten record against Bangladesh in the Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) with this 4-wciket victory.
Indian stand-in captain Rohit Sharma has hit form with bat while Washington Sundar has been doing damages with ball.
Chahal added three wickets and Unadkat picked up two wickets for Bangladesh.
India are yet to lose a T20I at the hands of Bangladesh. These games are not easy and these guys have not played a lot for the national team.
Team India with Nidahas Trophy 2018. But the team needs to keep its temper under control, especially after the unsavoury incidents that took place after the contest.
Soumya Sarkar was given the charge by Bangladesh bowler Shakib Al Hasan to bowl the last over the match. The match will begin at 7:00 PM IST time. Instead of Siraj, Jayadev was back in the game.
What time will live coverage of the final between India and Bangladesh start? Due to the behaviour of Shakib, he was fined, therefore, in the game they maintained the decorum and played really well. Das was followed by his partner Tamim Iqbal, who was caught out by Shardul Thakur at the long-on boundary on 15 off Yuzvendra Chahal’s ball. Jaydev Unadkat chose to ball for India. He dismissed Litton Das and then ran through his overs quickly.
WICKET! Shakib Al Hasan provides Bangladesh with the crucial breakthrough as he removes Shikhar Dhawan. Bangladesh have also chased successfully twice, but will have to set the score in the final. Can they do the seemingly impossible, or will India predictably take the cup home?
Captain Rohit Sharma was the other major contributor as he scored 56 off 42 balls at the top of the order but India kept losing wickets as they fell behind the required-rate.
WHAT AN OVER! It is Rohit Sharma all the way as he smacks two sixes and one four in this over. However, It’s a cloudless day, and all signs point to an uninterrupted game of cricket.
Despite having made his debut over 14 years ago, wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik has been in and out of the Indian team, unable to cement a spot. With India still needing 70 runs from the last 6.4 overs, all-rounder Shankar was sent in to bat for the first time in his worldwide career, much to the surprise of quite a few in the dugout.
2 ducks for Rubel against India, joint-most in India-Bangladesh matches.
With 12 needed off the last over from Sarkar, it was left for Karthik to be the hero and he stepped up when India needed him.
