With the Indian top-order firing against a lacklustre bowling attack, what chance did Bangladesh have of defending a total of 256\/8. Kohli, Gill and Sharma waited for the loose deliveries, which kept tumbling out of Bangladesh\u2019s closet frequently. The Indian openers scored 63 in the first Powerplay, the same as Bangladesh, but both the teams had a different approach. Bangladesh were more desperate to push the scoring rate whereas India had the luxury of enjoying the journey with the destination in sight.Earlier, Kohli also got to roll over his arm as he completed Hardik Pandya\u2019s over with three balls to spare after the all-rounder twisted his ankle trying to stop a straight drive with his right foot and had to leave the ground. He was taken to a hospital for scans and the exact nature of injury is yet to come out.<\/p>\n

A total of at least 280 was needed to create an upset. Afghanistan scored 284 to deflate England by registering a 69-run win and Netherlands scored 245 in 43 overs to edge out South Africa by 38 runs. Bangladesh\u2019s 256\/8 were never going to cause any trouble for the in-form hosts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
