India vs Bangladesh, 25th Match, Super 10 Group 2 at Bengaluru, , Mar 23 2016 - Match Result

It's a long night for us at the Cricinfo corner. Hope you enjoyed hanging out with us. India and Bangladesh gave us a fine game and some super fine stories are bound to spring from them. Keep an eye out for that on the site. For now though, this is Alagappan Muthu says good night and sleep right.

"Before this ball, everybody got together and decided what we wanted to do. My idea was to bowl a bouncer, I think that's the toughest ball to hit for a lower-order batsman. He missed it and we won the game," Ashwin says to Star Sports. "It made sense to run to the stumps. It could have ricocheted off. If we didn't win, we could have had a Super Over. I thought when Mushfiq hit that boundary, I thought they would nurdle it around. But Hardik held his nerve. He had to bowl the last over, he and Nehra bowled really well. The other choice was Yuvraj. After we made 146, we knew we had a task. It was a small ground. The thing that was spoken in the huddle was they could take off or they could commit hara kiri. Mushfiq wanted to lap him, but that slog was the game that sealed it. Mahmudullah's shot was the pressure and credit to Jadeja that was a brilliant catch. This is one of those games where it was very tricky. Initially it was all about bowling good balls, but once Tamim was dropped, I knew we were on the back foot. When I came back, it was a catch 22, I didn't know whether to go for wickets or contain and when I am confiused I just go for a wicket. Its a short straight boundary, but I was concentrating on getting the seam right and when I did, it spun a mile. I had to come back and get Shakib out and Soumya along with. We gambled with my over. I have seen one close game that was 2007 World Cup. This was it. It was the closest game"

"I don't want to say everything, but the decision was what length to bowl, what line to bowl. If you are going for yorkers, what is the field and also keep in mind about the strength of the yorker. And also I knew, once the 20th over starts, you can take all the time you want. I cant be fined," MS Dhoni says. "Often it does, at times you look to finish it with the big shot. And if you think you have wickets in hand, you think others can finish it. And when you are batting well, you go for your shots. Its a learning for Mahmudullah. That's what cricket is all about, If that had gone for a six, it was a great shot. Great courage. That's what cricket is. I feel before you play the shot, that's when he has to decide. Bumrah bowled really well, the second over that he bowled, he was under pressure, with the field restrictions. It was a reflection of his misfield and the dropped catch, but he had to forget about what happened and that's what we told. I feel he is somebody who is very good with the yorkers and he did very well. There were two occasions when we had to make the game and instead of using our part-timers and we bowled our frontliners. It was a very good bowling effort. [What did you tell Pandya before the last ball?] There were quite a few stuff we were discussing, one thing was for sure we don't want to bowl a yorker, it had to be back of a length, but how back of a length, that was the question. You don't want to bowl a wide. We were deciding out field and I think he executed really well"

"We were on top till the last three balls, we could have taken singles. But anyways, bad luck. The last three balls, we lost three wickets, we needed only two runs off three balls," Mashrafe says. "Specially today it is really disappointing. Overall we played well, except Pakistan. Today it is disappointing"

R Ashwin is Man of the Match. "We've never really got together and worried so much. I don;t have anything left. I'm drained after today's game. I'll just crash now. He had put down a catch, he was 2 overs for 22, he was down, but Bumrah came back for us. I probably gave him a cheeky idea to try a mankad in the end. We might have taken flak, but why not. We have not probably batted well. Today, we are not real contenders for the tournament, but if it improves we will be. I felt when Tamim's sweep in the air I thought we were in control, but when he put it down, later on I put one down. I had so much of emotions going through. But for the team to go all the way is what's important"

I'm just as drained as Ashwin, but our Match Day crew are ready and waiting for you. Mahela Jayawardene and Ajit Agarkar will be beamed right to you screens if you refresh them. The presentation to come as well

Dhaval: "PHEW! What a humdinger!! Mushy and Mahmudullah needed only 2 runs in last 2 balls and both got out going for the glory! Now, IND vs AUS is a virtual Quarter Final ..."

Sajin : "Probably everybody missed one thing, i believe the Bumrah's second last over changed the game back to India."

jeanluc: "this match will hurt BD team and fans most than any previous match against india. The scars will be deeep. Luck was with them till 39 and half overs. India dropped 3 catches(dhoni, bhmrah,nehra), couple of mis fields, BD got quiet few lucky boundries....and still on loosing side. If not on such day then when else? It really really hurts! "

11.20 pm The World T20 continues to surprise, and after today it has finally had a thriller that every world tournament craves. Bangladesh fought tooth and nail for this. They bowled outstandingly on a slow pitch to keep the total within their reach. Then the batsmen took the chase down to the last over - that was what their fans were worried about - but Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur had done really well until then. Except for those wild slogs. They got out to deep midwicket looking for sixes when Bangladesh needed only two runs off two balls. Mushy was celebrating after a scoop shot. Next ball he was out. And Bangladesh lost a match they should have won because India held their nerve better.

Mike: "Feel so absolutely gutted for Bangladesh. All they needed to do first and foremost was to keep the ball on the ground and play for the mad dash singles. But on another note, India have to be thrown the book for this diabolical over rate. Inexcusable" ---- But necessary. You give a little leeway during tight chases like that.

Rummy: "Don't call it an upset if BD defeats a top team. They're surely making strides in the shorter format of the game."

Nehra, Dhoni, Kohli and Yuvi together but its Nehra doing all the talking. Shuvagata on strike. Third man back. Dhoni has pulled off his right glove to throw in case of a bye . Mid-off is up, cover is up.

Pomil Proch: "Fitting enough to say that the script of this match is way way better than Batman Vs Superman "

Pandya, Nehra and Dhoni looking for plan Z as Shuvagata Hom walks out. But he won't be on strike. Mahmudullah will be because the batsmen crossed. Two runs off two balls... Third man and point are up. Dhawan moves to deep cover, Jaddu now moves to deep midwicket

Now Nehra comes up to talk to Pandya... Then Nehra and Dhoni have a chat... India are well behind the over-rate

jeanluc: "Honestly, this is first nail biter last over match of the tournament."

10 from five now, and Dhoni is up to his bowler to give him some advice. Long conversation this. Kohli trying to get someone's attention... Deep square leg comes up, fine leg comes up....

Nehra, Rohit, Dhoni and Pandya having a mini-meeting. Pats on the back for the man with the responsibility to defend only 10 runs. Mahmudullah on strike. Third man and point are up. Fine leg is up and very fine. Sweeper cover is back (Jaddu being put there instead of Dhawan)

Nick: "Who's praying for a miracle?" --- Pandya?

Long-off, long-on. Third man up.

Chetan: "Dhoni sure doesn't prefer spinners in the end. He gave the ball to Joginder Sharma instead of bhajji in the final. Which means Pandya will bowl the final over today. "

Third man is back now. Three on the leg side boundary

Bangladesh need 17 off 12 balls. Will Bumrah nail his yorkers again? Third man and point are up. Deep cover is back. Mid-off is up

Mushfiqur, a former captain, strides out. So no shortage of experience. Cool heads needed as things head up in Bangalore

Saiham: "Well, imagine my little office space in Bangladesh!"

Fine leg is up. Third man is back. Nehra is around the wicket.

Wilson : "Looks like Hardik will have to bowl one over... doesn't induce any confidence ...!!!"

Usama Bin Karam: "27 off 18, Soumya take that game away from India like the catches you took so far.....# fingerscrossed" --- and his catch of Hardik saved several runs for Bangladesh too. Don't forget that

Square leg comes up. Third man goes back. Fine leg up
