After losing the toss and batting first, India collected 184 runs in the scheduled 20 overs. In response, opener Liton Das got off to a flying start. At one end, when Nazmul Hossain Shanto scored 2 runs from 10 balls, Liton took the second fastest half-century of this year's T20 World Cup in just 21 balls.
However, the game was stopped when rain started in the seventh over of the innings. Then Liton Das remained unbeaten with 59 runs off 26 balls. But when the game started after the rain, the target for Bangladesh was 151 runs in 16 overs. But after the rain, Liton went back to the pavilion and was run out after batting for just one run.
And this is the danger for Bangladesh. The way Liton was batting and if he could have played 15 balls, maybe Bangladesh would have won the match two more overs earlier. And that was said by Pakistan's legendary fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar.
While giving his reaction after the match between Bangladesh vs India on his YouTube channel, he said at one point, "There was no need for Liton Das to take those two runs then. The ball was coming into the bat, he should have stood up and played. But he had to get run out in the end while taking two runs. That turned the match”.
"But if Liton Das could have survived then there is no question that Bangladesh would have won this match long ago within 14 or 15 overs". Well right Bangladesh, nothing to be disappointed about. You are a very good team. You have played very good cricket”.
