IND vs BAN, Super 12: IND beat BAN in nail biter by 5 runs

And, India have come out victorious against Bangladesh to stay strong in the race for the semifinal. A sigh of relief for the fans and the team as well. OMG, it was not an easy one. The match was curtailed by rain in the second innings. Bangladesh were already going hard with 66/0 in 7 overs. But rain intervened and every Indian fan hoped it to stop. When it stopped, the target was shortened and Bangladesh needed 151 in 16 overs. India struck some blows after it and Bangladesh started losing their way. It was proving out to be a roller coaster but India held their nerves. Arshdeep Singh, Hardik Pandya were very good and India held on those high catches to win by 5 runs. Earlier, India had scored 184 runs. Now, India have 6 points in 4 games and are at the door of a semifinal spot. They next face Zimbabwe on November 6 and we hope they keep their run going. It was a pleasure bringing this match to you, hope you enjoyed it as well. This is Varun Malik signing off, see you soon.

20 runs are required in the final over. Arshdeep to bowl.

With 31 required off 12, India are all set to clinch this one. Just need to keep the work going.

India have got six wickets now as Pandya scalped the 5th and 6th wicket of Bangladesh. India are now eyeing a win.

Bangladesh are now 5 down. They are giving wickets like anything. But a brillian comeback by India. Hardik Pandya gets the 5th wicket of BAN as Arshdeep holds this one.

Bangladesh have lost their skipper now. Arshdeep Singh has scalped two overs in a one over. This one was also hit high in the sky and this time Deepak Hooda holds a good catch.

Arshdeep Singh has struck for India now. Afif Hossain has been caught by Suryakumar Yadav. I tell you, it went way too high and it wasn't easy, especially under this much pressure.

Shakib has hit 2 fours in Ashwin's over and he is leading his side currently. India need to get him.

Bangladesh's second opener Najmul Hossain Shanto has been caught out. Big wicket as he started to go big. But Mohammed Shami has got a wicket here. Can India capitalise?

Bangladesh have lost their first wicket and it's the big one- Litton Das. The red-hot Das has been run out as KL Rahul hits the stump from the deep. Will this be a turning point?

The match starts and BAN need 151 in 16 overs as the target has been revised due to rain. 85 needed off 54. India need wickets.

Good news. Rain has stopped falling. Notably, the match will start at 4:50 PM IST and it will be a 16-over contest. 151 is the target now.

The good news is coming from the ground. Covers are coming off as the Indians wait for the action to resume. However, there is still a slight drizzle. The cut off time of the overs was 4:28 and we are past that. Looks that overs are now cutting off. 

Take a look at how fans are wanting the showers to end:

According to Harsha Bhogle, from 4:28 PM IST, we will start seeing overs getting chopped

The drizzle seems to have been getting heavier now. Not good news but we hope it stops soon.

And the heavens have opened up. India's another enemy. It has slowed down a bit and the Indian fans hope that it stops. However, DLS par score after 7 overs is 49 and Bangladesh are well ahead of that.

Bangladesh are off to a flier in Adelaide and surely what they would have wanted. Litton Das is playing a gem of a knock here and has already put India under pressure. 

Wow! I am stunned, and I am sure you are too. Litton das has raced away to a magnificent 50 off just 21 balls, and India are in trouble now. Real trouble.

Well, Litton Das is on the attack. He has raced away to 28 off just 11 deliveries. India need to be cautious here.

The Indian cricket team has scored a good total of 184 in the first innings. KL Rahul, Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav have starred for the men in blue as they sent the Bangladesh bowlers round the park. There was some assistance for the bowlers, especially in the starting time but the batters played well. Rahul scored 50 off 32, Virat scored an unbeaten 64 off 44 and Surya scored 30 off 16. Bangladesh bowlers pegged India back a bit in the later part of the innings as they took some wickets. But with Virat out in the middle, India always had the upper hand.

Dinesh Karthik and Virat Kohli are out in the middle as India eye strong finish. Can India get near 185?

A soft dismissal and Pandya walks back. A good bouncer outside off, might have bounced more and Pandya could not find a gap as he gifts it to the backward point fielder. Karthik has walked out with Virat, who is looking deadly now.

Opener KL Rahul has to walk back after a much needed fifty against Bangladesh. Rahul looked brilliant today and it shall give him a lot of confidence. Suryakumar joins Virat now.

KL Rahul is looking good and strong in the middle. He negotiated the early swing and now is going all guns blazing. Eyeing a fifty now.

Virat Kohli has become the highest run-scorer in the history of the T20 World Cup. The Indian maestro has shattered Mahela Jayawardene's record, who has 1016 runs in all editions of the T20 World Cup. Before this match, Kohli needed 16 to break the record and he has done it!

The Indian team is at 37/1 after 6 overs. A fine start for India but they have lost their captain Rohit. Currently, both Virat Kohli and KL Rahul are playing well at the moment. There is some help for the pacers but these two are negotiating it well and are looking good so far. Crucial middle phase coming now.

Skipper Rohit Sharma has been caught out. Relief for Hasan Mahmud as he strikes after dropping the Indian skipper. Virat Kohli is the new batter in
