Hardik Pandya delivered India the finishing blow against Bangladesh by hitting three sixes during his fifty-run knock at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. Rishabh Pant set them off quickly before captain Rohit Sharma displayed both natural skill in batting as well as defensive prowess on field.Semi Finals
Kuldeep Yadav delivered a brilliant bowling performance to help India contain Bangladesh, who struggled to 146-8 after being asked to bat. Tanzim Hasan Shakib’s double-wicket over and captain Najmul Hossain Shanto’s 40 were their only signs of intent for Bangladesh, whereas India remain unbeaten and could cement their semi-final spot when playing Australia later in the evening.Semi Finals

India made impressive progress toward reaching the semi finals of the T20 World Cup with a comprehensive victory against Bangladesh with a clinical performance from both bat and ball, led by Hardik Pandya’s fifty. India batted first and amassed 196/5 at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound Antigua; Bangladesh struggled against India’s bowlers to post only 146-8 at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium with only Najmul Hossain Shanto (34) and Tanzim Hasan (34) impressing with bat.Semi Finals
An emotional earthquake had ensued when South Africa failed to win against Australia despite high hopes that they would run them over in a convincing fashion in Group stage matches, showing their opponents up as mere mortals in comparison. It left everyone reeling with disappointment.Semi Finals
However, the Men in Blue failed to appreciate how Australia had evolved since their defeat at Chennai. They neglected the fact that Australia’s players had matured significantly since their victory there and no longer looked for individual milestones to reach before reaching goals collectively.Semi Finals
As it stands, India’s chances of reaching the semi-finals remain limited despite two wins. They will need to beat Australia by an overwhelming margin in their final Super 8 match while hoping that Afghanistan and Bangladesh both lose. Even then, an emphatic win against Australia won’t guarantee them qualification into the semifinals.

Indian fans were still reeling from Pat Cummins-led Australia’s stunning loss against Afghanistan when Hardik Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav led the Men in Blue to victory against Bangladesh, making up for it with another emphatic win against them and taking first place in Group 1. Hardik’s superb batting performance led them all the way while Kuldeep Yadav ensured their bowlers produced another solid performance under pressure and secured another Super 8 win to propel the Men in Blue to top Group 1 standings.
India, having won the toss, set an aggressive target of 196 in 20 overs after winning the toss. While early strikes from Bangladesh bowlers gave them some comfort, India managed to put together runs at an alarming rate to finish with 286/5 runs scored in their innings.
India recorded their third win in this edition of the World Cup and now hold seven points, moving closer towards reaching the semi-finals.
Indian’s win against Bangladesh gave India a four-point edge over Australia and two over Pakistan and Bangladesh; all three teams still have two matches left and it will come down to Net Run Rate at the end of it all.

India was expected to win after defeating Australia in their group stage encounter, yet were left devastated when defeated by Pat Cummins’ Australian squad that broke billions of Indian hearts.
India’s loss meant their Net Run Rate dropped below that of New Zealand and Afghanistan, making them less likely to qualify for the semi finals. Afghanistan may still make it through, however, provided they win against South Africa while Sri Lanka defeat New Zealand.
India-Pakistan matches in the semi-finals would be among the biggest ever seen at an ICC T20 World Cup, watched by millions. They share one of cricket’s fiercest rivalries – prompting wild celebrations when victory is achieved and heated accusations when losses occur; additionally they have been involved in four wars since independence from British rule in 1947.
India-Pakistan matches will take place at Eden Gardens in Kolkata if both teams finish first in their groups; otherwise they’ll take place at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium. Despite political tension between both nations, they’re hoping to use cricket diplomacy as a vehicle to bridge rifts through sport – the last T20 World Cup match between them took place back in 1992, when India defeated Pakistan by seven wickets at Sydney; thereafter only one winner emerged out of seven other matches between them since.
