India beat Bangladesh by 50 runs: T20 World Cup 2024 Super Eight – updates

That’s it from our live coverage of India against Bangladesh at the T20 World Cup.

A win for Australia against Afghanistan in the next Group 1 match will mean both India and the Australians qualify for the semifinals.

We’ll be back on Sunday with holders England’s chances of qualifying in the balance when they take on USA.

Do join us if you can.

For now, though – from me, Kevin Hand – it’s goodbye!

“We know what is expected of us and what we need to do and how we need to play,” the India captain said at the post-match ceremony. “We adapted to the conditions – there is a small factor here in that -and then be smart.

“All batters need to play their role. We saw only one guy got fifty and we still got 195. How you put pressure on the opposition is what matters. All the batters did that from the word go.

“We have to understand conditions as well, but there is a lot of experience in that squad and we back them to make those decisions on the field.

“The way Hardik batted was excellent but the way we batted to put us in a very good state to set the platform to finish that game was brilliant.”

“We were thinking about 160-170 but, the way they bat, credit goes to them,” the Bangladesh captain told the ICC broadcast.

“We have a lot of batting options but we didn’t show the intent we needed – especially in the first six overs and I should have finished the game.

“I should mention Rishad and the way he bowled in this tournament. He has done well.”

The win moves India to four points in the group. If Australia beat Afghanistan in the next Group 1 match in six hours time then India and the Aussies will both qualify for the semifinals.

“We played really good cricket. More than anything we stuck together and executed our plans. In certain situations everyone has stepped up at the right times,” he told the ICC broadcast.

“Batters wanted to use the breeze, so I put the ball in short and bowl wide so it was just about being one step ahead of the batters.

“As a group, we can get better in a lot of places. Losing wickets in bunches is something we would like to rectify and get better at. Otherwise, everyone is looking good and in the right mind.

“For me, I’ve always been very fortunate to play for the country. It was a freak injury in the [2023] Cricket World Cup, I did try to come back but I’ve been putting in the hard work to get the opportunities for luck to come my way.

“Luck comes to people who work hard. It doesn’t come to people who sit at home.”

The final ball is driven for a single by Tanzim and India wrap up a comprehensive victory.

Mahmudullah pulls the penultimate ball of the innings to deep square to hand Arshdeep his second wicket.

The left-arm seamer starts with a wide. A slow bouncer then leaves Mahmudullah hooking thin air. The right-hander clips the second ball off his pads for a single.

Bumrah notched up 15 dot balls in his four overs, more than half his deliveries, and finishes with figures of 2-13.

The last ball of the over was late cut for four by Mahmudullah.

The right-hander is tucked up attempting to pull Burmah and the ball squirts off an edge to cover where Rohit takes the catch.

Rishard hasn’t given up. The last ball of the over goes back over Axar’s head for six more for Rishad, who now has 24* from 8. Mahmudullah has 11* from 10. The target is 197.

Rishad thumps his fellow spinner’s second delivery over long-off for six.

Rishad cuts his second ball for four then slaps the last ball of the over for six with a pull off a slower ball from Arshdeep.

That’s 75 to win from the final four overs. Never say never.

That didn’t last long as the right-hander gets underneath one from Arshdeep and Kohli runs in from deep midwicket to collect the catch.

Jaker joins Mahmudullah in the middle. Just two runs off Bumrah’s third over and he now has figures of 1-8.

Now, 87 needed from 24.

The left-hander swings across the line to the third ball of Bumrah’s over and skies a thick edge to deep third.

A slow bouncer from Hardik hits the back of Najmul’s helmet after a failed hook. The physio conducts the obligatory concussion check.

Mahmadullah found his first boundary, two balls previous, with a cut for four.

Just two singles and a leg bye start the over.

Mahmudullah joins Najmul. This is the partnership that is the one that needs to do all the legwork for Bangladesh now.

Bangladesh need 97 from 36.

Shakib smashes six and then goes again but this one is skied to Rohit at extra cover. A third wicket for Kuldeep.
