Kohli Helps India Beat Bangladesh In Last-over Drama

The megastar Virat Kohli has reached new heights after leading India to a high-stakes victory in the Twenty20 World Cup by beating Bangladesh by five runs and prevailing against a deluge in Adelaide.

In the action-packed match that took place at the Adelaide Oval on Wednesday night, India climbed to the top of Group 2 while putting Bangladesh’s chances of advancing to the semifinals in jeopardy.

Kohli scored 64 not out to become the player with the most runs scored in World Cup history, and Kohli also led all scorers in this competition with an average of 220. India finished with a score of 6-184.

After that, the opener Litton Das responded by smashing 60 runs off 27 balls, but his team’s momentum was stalled by the 52-minute rain delay, which brought their aim down to 151 runs from 16 overs.

The final score for Bangladesh was 6-145, with India taking the lead over South Africa (six points to five), despite the fact that the Proteas still have a game in hand.

Bangladesh is still in the competition with four points, which puts them in the “mathematical possibility” basket to move on to the knockout stages.

Litton slammed a half-century off of just 21 balls and dominated an opening stand with Najmul Shanto: after the six-over Powerplay, he had made 54 of 60 runs total.

After one more over, rain put a stop to the game, and when it did, Litton had hit three sixes and seven fours, and his team’s total was 0-66, which was 17 runs higher than the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern par score.

As a result of the weather delay, Bangladesh needed further 85 runs from 54 balls. After the break there was an immediate resumption of the drama.

During the first delivery that took place after the delay, Litton slipped while turning for a second run, which resulted in him requiring medical attention for his left wrist.

When he was diving to score a second run, the next ball, KL Rahul hit him with a direct hit with a rocket throw, and he was out.

The Bangladeshi team’s downward spiral began when Litton was taken out of the game, and it continued as India took control of the match.

But Nurul Hasan (25 not out off 14) and Taskin Ahmed (12 not out off seven) put Bangladesh within touching distance, and with 20 required from the final over, there was still a chance that Bangladesh could pull off an upset.

It wasn’t until Hasan hammered the second ball of the over high over square leg for six that the Tigers fans started to believe.

However, he was only able to score seven runs off of the final four balls, and India was able to pull out an important victory by five runs thanks to Arshdeep Singh (2-38) not losing his composure.

Prior to that, Kohli scored 1065 runs in 25 World Cup innings thanks to a magnificent performance off 44 balls. This put him ahead of the Sri Lankan great Mahela Jayawardene, who scored 1016 runs in 31 innings.

The Indian dynamo now holds the record for the most runs scored in this competition, having amassed 220 runs despite being dismissed only once.

Kohli’s latest performance also extended a love affair he has with Adelaide Oval, where he has averaging 75.58 with five tons and three half-centuries across all three formats of international cricket played there: Tests, ODIs, and T20 Internationals.

KL Rahul hit four sixes on his way to a 50-run knock off of 32 balls, while Suryakumar Yadav scored 30 runs off of 16 deliveries while Kohli and KL Rahul were a part of an explosive 67-run partnership.

In the final game in the group, which will take place on Sunday, India will be a heavy favorite to win against Zimbabwe.

South Africa takes against Pakistan on Thursday and then the Netherlands the following day, while Bangladesh takes on Pakistan on the same day.
