8.47pm The TV commentators say that Bangladesh have scored less than the par, but atleast it's a total. With India in a must-win game, the pressure of chasing could get the better of the hosts when we're back in fifteen minutes with the chase.
Time for a quick recap of the innings: Bangladesh's openers gave them a flying start, and Liton survived a missed stumping and a dropped catch, but eventually fell for 29. Naim was tidy with 36 too, but a middle order collapse negated Bangladesh's early advantage. Afif, Mosaddek and Aminul were slow in the death overs, and that allowed Chahar and Chahal to pull things back at the death. India were fairly poor in the field, maybe giving an extra 10-12 runs to Bangladesh due to that. The hosts will hope that doesn't come back to bite them.
Washington Sundar: We thought par was 180, so to restrict them to 153 is pretty good. I want to keep things simple, not to think too much about the opposition and stick to my strengths. Change of pace and hitting the right areas are my strengths, which is back of length and getting it to hip level. I have to think what the batsman is also thinking because they also do their homework.
Tasmeem: "These 18th and 19th overs may have won India the match."
Mickey @ USA: "One may find Ravindra Jadeja an average bowler and/or batsman in comparison to another player, but the skill that sets him apart even at the age of 30 years and 336 days is his unmatched fielding skills. And fielding was a big reason how India won the first ever T20 World Cup in 2007."
Thauhid: "Since his last comeback, Saikat (Mosaddek)has lost his glamorous big hits."
Six balls to go.

RAJ PISHARODY: "Khaleel Ahmed has been India's most consistent bowler in this match.... he has conceded at least 2 boundaries in each of his overs!"
The innings should've been over by now, by the way
Darpan Tikiya: "@Vikas- Sachin has more 5fors in ODIs than Warne, Wasim Akram has a bigger high score in Tests than Sachin. Numbers don't always delineate pedigree. "
