India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Can Bangladesh Halt India’s Juggernaut?
India vs Bangladesh Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024: 6 matches, 5 victories, 1 no result owing to rain – should India's dominance at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 be translated into numbers, we can use these figures. Not that Rohit Sharma's men have never found in precarious positions – for majority of the match against Pakistan, they were not in the driving seat. Then, against the USA, they had a few anxious moments when both Virat Kohli and the captain was dismissed early.
But whenever India have been dealt with a punch, not only have they got back on their feet and regained composure, but launched a counter-punch with twice the venom.
Now, standing on their way to what would be a sixth victory in this competition, are Bangladesh. Like the yin and yang, they are at times brilliant, yet often dismal. Can they halt India's juggernaut, or will the steamroller prove to be unstoppable yet again?
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: What To Expect in Antigua?
In a word – runs.
The Indian batters heaved a sigh of relief when they moved base from New York to Barbados, and the smiles could be broader today, for in the last match, we saw Australia scoring 100 runs off 11.2 overs against Bangladesh on this ground.
Earlier, we have seen South Africa scoring 194, while the USA putting up 176 in response. England scored 122 runs in just 10 overs against Namibia.
The bottomline being – there are big runs to be scored, should the batting be up to the mark.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Will We See Any Changes in India's Playing XI?
Will India opt to fix what's not broken? Or, is something broken, but the wins have concealed it?
Should they decide to make a change, Sanju Samson could be considered to strengthen the middle-order, considering Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are likely to continue opening the innings.
We will know in 8 minutes.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Bangladesh Bowl First, Opt to Bowl First
The toss has happened, and the news from the centre is – Bangladesh have won the toss and decided to bowl first.
Bangladeshi captain Najmul Hossain Hossain stated "We would like to restrict them to a small total. That is our plan. We know the conditions here and also about the wind factor."
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, however, was not at all disappointed after losing the toss, for he wanted to bat first anyway. "We wanted to bat and that is what we got," said Sharma.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: No Changes in Indian Team, 1 Change in Bangladesh XI
Along expected lines, India have decided to make no changes to their team. That means Sanju Samson is still sitting out.
Bangladesh, quite interestingly, have opted for an additional batter today, fielding Jaker Ali in Taskin Ahmed's place.
India Playing XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah.
Bangladesh Playing XI: Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das (wk), Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Towhid Hridoy, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, Jaker Ali, Rishad Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Mustafizur Rahman.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Let's Play
The national anthems of both nations – written by the same person, that is, Rabindranath Tagore – has been played out in Antigua. Virat Kohli & Rohit Sharma are out at the crease. Time for live action now.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Mahedi Starts Proceedings
Interesting choice from Najmul Hossain Shanto. Bangladesh started the innings with off-spinner Mahedi Hasan, who has bowled a decent first over, conceding 8 runs. Rohit Sharma struck a boundary, but that was off the edge.
India: 8/0 after 1 over.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Shakib Taken to the Cleaners
Baffling call from Bangladesh, are they opted to have spin from both ends. Shakib Al Hasan bowls the second over and gets taken to the cleaners, with Sharma hitting a four and Kohli hitting a sublime six.
India: 23/0 after 2 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Kohli in the Mood
Virat Kohli looks in the mood today. Another boundary in the third over, this time off a trademark Kohli wrist flick against the in-form Tanzim Hasan Sakib.
India: 29/0 after 3 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Rohit Departs
WICKET!
Rohit Sharma will be furious with himself. He was batting very well, had already struck a six and a four off Shakib Al Hasan's second over, and there was absolutely no need to attempt another big hit in the same over. But he did so, got outfoxed by the spin, and ended up getting caught by Jaker Ali at cover.
India: 39/1 after 4 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Mahedi Again
Mahedi Hasan is re-introduced into the firing line, and it is evident that the batters might not be taking too many risks after how Rohit Sharma was dismissed. Just three runs came from the over.
India: 42/1 after 5 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: The Kohli Everyone Wanted to See
Excellent batting. To bowl the last over of the powerplay, Shanto turned to his most prized bowling asset – Mustafizur Rahman. Kohli, however, is unperturbed, as he hits a four and follows it up with a six.
India: 53/1 after 6 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Mahedi Stringent
While nearly every Bangladeshi bowler has faced the wrath of the Indian batters, Mahedi Hasan has been very miser so far. Only three runs come from his third over.
India: 56/1 after 7 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: In Comes Rishad, Out Goes the Ball
In-form leg-spinner Rishad Hossain is introduced, and he gets the same treatment as everyone else. Virat Kohli hits a six, while Rishabh Pant gets a move on with a four.
India: 71/1 after 8 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Sakib Dismisses Kohli
BOWLED!
The Indian fans are stunned. Virat Kohli danced down the track against Tanzim Hasan Sakib, went for a big hoik over midwicket, but the ball kept low and struck the stumps. Kohli has to depart for 37, as his wait to score a half-century in this tournament gets further prolonged.
India: 71/2
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Suryakumar Gone
ANOTHER WICKET!
Tanzim Hasan Sakib has turned the game on its head. India were looking in cruise control till the last over, but there are panic alarms ringing in the camp now.
Suryakumar Yadav starts with a six, as he often does, but ends up losing his wicket in the very next delivery by edging the ball into wicketkeeper Litton Das' gloves.
India: 80/3 after 9 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Mahmudullah Introduced
Another spinner is introduced into the attack – on this occasion, it is the veteran Mahmudullah Riyad. Only three runs came from the over. A fourth wicket could prove to be fatal.
India: 83/3 after 10 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Pant Breaks the Shackles
Rishabh Pant has decided he has had enough, no more un-Pant-esque batting. Mustafizur returns and is taken to the cleaners again, as Pant strikes a six and a couple of fours.
India: 97/3 after 11 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Pant Departs
WICKET!
Oh dear, Pant has thrown his wicket just how skipper Rohit Sharma did. He had already struck a six and a four off Rishad Hossain's bowling, but went for a risky reverse-sweep. It proved to be fatal, as the ball went straight into the hands of Tanzim Hasan Sakib.
India: 110/4 after 12 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: 5 Runs from Mahmudullah's 2nd Over
Another fine over from Mahmudullah Riyad, as only five runs came off it. Bangladesh's off-spin pairing of Mahmudullah and Mahedi Hasan have been very economical today.
India: 115/4 after 13 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Scoring Rate Dips
After two expensive overs, Mustafizur Rahman has finally bowled an economical over, conceding just 5 runs. India's scoring rate is dipping now.
India: 120/4 after 14 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Hardik Gets a Move On
Najmul Hossain Shanto persisted with an off-spinner against Hardik Pandya, and paid a hefty price. Having found his footing, Pandya took the attack to Mahedi Hasan, who conceded 14 runs in his last over.
India: 134/4 after 15 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Dube Joins the Act
Poor captaincy from Shanto. Left-arm orthodox spinner Shakib Al Hasan is asked to bowl to left-handed batter Shivam Dube, and the result is a huge six. 12 runs came from the over.
India: 146/4 after 16 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Inching Closer to 180+
Tanzim Hasan Sakib returns into the attack, and even he concedes a six. But the other five deliveries were decent, which resulted in just three runs.
India: 155/4 after 17 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Dube Dismissed
WICKET!
Shivam Dube has to depart, but the Indian team management will be satisfied with what they have seen from the all-rounder today. Dube starts off the 18th over with six over deep mid-wicket, and attempts something similar on the second delivery. But this time, Rishad Hossain has knocked his stumps.
India: 170/5 after 18 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Hardik Hammering Bangladesh
Brilliant batting from Hardik Pandya. The Indian vice-captain is proving why he still is an indispensable part of the national side. Another six of the 19th over, which takes him to 35 runs off 21 deliveries.
India: 178/5 after 19 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Hardik Heroics
Heroic from Hardik Pandya. A half-century for the record books. A redemption for all the sceptics.
India could not have asked for a better last over, which yielded 18 runs as Pandya struck not one, but three boundaries. Mustafizur will look for a place to hide for the rest of the day, after conceding 48 runs in his four-over spell.
And so, India have scored 196/5. Bangladesh need 197 runs to win.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: First Over Boundary
As usual, Arshdeep Singh will start with the ball for India. Litton Das and Tanzid Hasan will open the batting for the Tigers. The latter opened his account with a boundary on the 5th ball.
Bangladesh: 5/0 after 1 over.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Bumrah into the Attack
Jasprit Bumrah starts from the other end and concedes just 2 runs from the over.
Bangladesh: 7/0 after 2 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: A Couple of Fours
Arshdeep Singh is back and Tanzid Hasan slams another boundary against the pacer to open the over with. The batter punishes Arshdeep with yet another four.
Bangladesh: 16/0 after 3 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Spin Introduced
Axar Patel has been brought into the attack with spin. He starts with a dot ball, but Hasan follows up with a boundary. Three singles are taken before Litton Das joins the boundary-hitting spree, ending the over with another four.
Bangladesh: 27/0 after 4 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Hardik Strikes!
WICKET!
Skipper Rohit Sharma has turned to Hardik Pandya early in the game. After making an impact with the bat, the vice-captain now shines with the ball, providing the first breakthrough by removing Litton Das immediately after conceding a six to him.
Bangladesh: 38/1 after 5 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Powerplay Done
Bumrah returns to the attack, starting with a full toss that Tanzid manages to squeeze out for two runs. On the next delivery, Pant drops a catch, giving Tanzid a reprieve. Total four runs come from the last over within the powerplay.
Bangladesh: 42/1 after 6 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Good Start For Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja has been introduced after the completion of powerplay, and he has bowled a fine first over. Only four runs came from the six deliveries.
Bangladesh: 47/1 after 7 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Kuldeep Introduced
Spin from both ends now, as Kuldeep Yadav has been called into the action. And he bowls an excellent delivery, conceding just three runs.
Bangladesh: 50/1 after 8 overs,
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Shanto on the Attack
Interesting call from Rohit Sharma. Ravindra Jadeja is held back after bowling just one over, as Hardik Pandya returns to the attack. But the attacking shots in this over was played by Najmul Hossain Shanto, who struck a four and a six.
Bangladesh: 64/1 after 9 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Kuldeep Strikes
WICKET!
It has taken Kuldeep Yadav just 10 deliveries to get his first wicket of the match. The ball pitches outside off and Tanzid Hasan Tamim tries to make room for a cut, but there's sharp turn off the surface and the Bangladeshi opener is trapped leg before wicket.
Bangladesh: 67/2 after 10 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Shanto Continues Fighting
It will be an uphill battle for Bangladesh from here onwards, but Najmul Hossain Shanto is continuing to fight.
Bangladesh: 76/2 after 11 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Kuldeep Strikes Again
WICKET!
Kuldeep Yadav has worked his magic again, and Bangladesh most in-form batter Towhid Hridoy has to depart. Trying to play a sweep, he ended up getting out leg before wicket. Not only that, but he also lost a review.
Bangladesh: 80/3 after 12 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Jadeja Expensive
An expensive over from India's perspective, as Ravindra Jadeja concedes a four and a six in his third over. However, the match is all but out of Bangladesh's reach.
Bangladesh: 91/3 after 13 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: 3rd Wicket For Kuldeep
ANOTHER WICKET FOR KULDEEP!
The wrist spinner is running riots here, as he has picked up three wickets in absolutely no time. His latest victim is Shakib Al Hasan, who tried to hit a six but could only find Rohit Sharma at extra cover.
Bangladesh: 100/4 after 14 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Hardik Back
Hardik Pandya is back into the attack. Except Mahmudullah Riyad's boundary, this was an uneventful over, yielding 8 runs. The outcome is a foregone conclusion.
Bangladesh: 108/4 after 15 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Bumrah On the Money
BUMRAH STRIKES!
It is impossible to keep Jasprit Bumrah away from wickets, as he has opened his tally by dismissing Najmul Hossain Shanto. The Bangladeshi skipper got outfoxed by a slower delivery and found Arshdeep Singh at third.
Bangladesh: 110/5 after 16 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Arshdeep Won't Be Left Behind
SIXTH WICKET!
Arshdeep Singh has decided he will not be left behind, as he gets among wickets as well. Jaker Ali goes for a big hit but finds Virat Kohli at deep mid-wicket. Bangladesh are collapsing like a house of cards here.
Bangladesh: 122/6 after 17 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Rishad Reduces Margin of Defeat
Axar Patel returns, and is welcomed with two sixes from Rishad Hossain. If nothing else, the Bangladeshi leggie is reducing the margin of defeat for his team.
Bangladesh: 137/6 after 18 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Bumrah Again
Another one bites the dust!
Jasprit Bumrah gets his second wicket of the match, calling curtains on the shortlived but entertaining cameo of Rishad Hossain.
Bangladesh: 142/7 after 19 overs.
India vs Bangladesh Live Score: Victory for India
VICTORY!
The Indian juggernaut proved to be unstoppable again. The steamroller has rolled over Bangladesh. India have beaten Bangladesh by 50 runs.
Only four runs came from Arshdeep Singh's last over, and also the wicket of Mahmudullah Riyad. Bangladesh could only muster up 146/8.
Despite the victory, India will still have to wait before they officially qualify for the semi-finals. The next match is against Australia on 24 June, and it has all the making of a humdinger.
We will bring you live updates from that match. Till then, good night!
