World T20 2016: India v Bangladesh – Statistical Highlights

The match between India and Bangladesh might end as the best in the current edition of WT20 as India sneaked in with a 1-run win from edges of defeat. Bangladesh kept the chase on from the very first ball. Despite losing wickets, the depth in their batting lineup took down the game to last over where they needed 11 runs. Mushfiqur Rahim hit boundaries on 2nd and 3rd ball to bring down the equation to 2 needed from last 3 but Rahim and Mahmudullah got out in successive deliveries off Pandya. A sharp work behind the stumps from Dhoni made sure India didn’t concede any run on the last ball.

Earlier after being put into bat, India got off to a decent start. However, every Indian batsman failed to convert the start they got as India finished on 146/7 in 20 overs. Here we look at all the stats and records recorded during the game.
