19.1 Pandya to Mahmudullah, 1 run, goes full and wide, steered to deep cover
19.2 Pandya to Mushfiqur Rahim, FOUR, slower ball goes wrong - it is short of a length and wide outside off - Mushy smacks it through extra cover! That's a top shot, and he went so deep in the crease!
19.3 Pandya to Mushfiqur Rahim, FOUR, fist pumps, bat swinging, yells! Mushy wanders outside off and scoops it away. Past Dhoni. It was not timed properly. Just one of those shots that just had enough bat to fit in the gap. But fine leg was up and the plan was sound
19.4 Pandya to Mushfiqur Rahim, OUT, he's caught at deep midwicket, did they cross, with Mahmudullah be on strike? The slower ball, the short ball, the pull shot and without the pace it comes straight down Dhawan's throat
Mushfiqur Rahim c Dhawan b Pandya 11 (15m 6b 2x4 0x6) SR: 183.33
19.5 Pandya to Mahmudullah, OUT, and its Jaddu again! The man who was moved from cover, their best fielder was positioned there by Dhoni and he comes into the play immediately because Mahmudullah went for a slog off a full toss! Jadeja ran in, then to his right and took the catch reverse cup! Pressure catch. And now its two off one
Mahmudullah c Jadeja b Pandya 18 (48m 22b 1x4 0x6) SR: 81.81
19.6 Pandya to Shuvagata Hom, OUT, have they run the bye? Third umpire called into play. Dhoni did not throw. He ran up to break the stumps. How fast is the cutter man? Mustafizur is out! India win! India keep their campaign alive and look at those celebrations. Kohli exults wildly. Pandya is out of breath. He is hunched over his knees after defending only 10 runs! It was a short ball outside off, wide outside off, Shuvagata can't reach it. and Bangladesh have fallen agonisingly short
Mustafizur Rahman run out 0 (2m 0b 0x4 0x6) SR: -
