A bottom edge on the final delivery, reaches Pant on one bounce.

This is the highest score at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua. India got their thanks to Hardik Pandya’s 27-ball half century. Bangladesh batters have had their troubles this World Cup and they’ll need to put on their best show to get past an in-form India bowling unit.

Mustafizur will bowl the last over. FOUR! Hardik swings for the hills on the leg-side but gets an outside edge that goes to the deep third boundary. This is punched through cover by Hardik for one more. Short and pulled away by Axar for a single. Full outside off and driven by Hardik for two more to deep point. Mustafizur has also over-stepped and that is a no-ball. Free-hit coming up! FOUR! Sliced away by Hardik and he beats the wicketkeeper to find the boundary. This is too wide outside off and called wide. Another extra in the final over. Into the pitch and Hardik swings on the leg-side and misses. Precious dot ball for Bangladesh. FOUR! Boundary to end the innings and Hardik also reaches his fifty, off 27 balls. 

Tanzim will bowl out. He starts off with a dot ball as Axar misses a slower one while trying to steer this to deep third-man. This is cut away by Axar for a single. Last 10 balls of the innings coming up. Bouncer and Hardik goes for the uppercut but misses. SIX! Slower one again and Hardik waits for this one and pulls this for a flat six over deep midwicket. Full toss and thumped to long-off for a single by Hardik. He feels he has missed out on that one. Now Axar is looking for the uppercut over short-third but misses. 

Rishad again. SIX! Dube rocks back and pulls this over deep midwicket for maximum. OUT! And Rishad bounces back again after taking a beating. Dube swings his bat again but there is a hint of turn and the ball crashes into the stumps. 

Axar Patel comes in next. Gets off the mark with a single. SIX! In the slot for Hardik and he carts this over long-on for a maximum. He is beaten off the last ball of the over due to some extra bounce.

FOUR! Width again and slapped through cover by Hardik for a boundary. Turned away through square-leg by Dube for a single to end the over. Mahedi ends with 0/28 from his four overs despite taking a beating in this one. 

Mustafizur again. Over the wicket to Hardik, who steers the first ball to deep third for a single. Short and pulled away by Dube for just a single. Another quiet over as yet again just five singles come from it. 

Mahmudullah with the ball. He starts off with a wide down leg-side. Just five runs from the over. Four singles and the wide. 

Rishad Hossain again. SIX! Pant steps out and hammers this over midwicket for a maximum and his bottom hand comes off the bat handle in trademark fashion. FOUR! This is swept away to the boundary behind deep square-leg by Pant. OUT! Pant has reverse swept this straight to short third man and his brief but bright knock comes to an end. 

Hardik Pandya comes in next and there’s a slip in place for him. Starts off with a single off a misfield in the cover region. Clipped off the toes by Dube to end the over with a single. 

Rishabh Pant c Tanzim Hasan Sakib b Rishad Hossain 36 (24b 4x4 2x6)

Tanzim. Kohli charges down the track, tries to slog, misses the ball completely and the ball crashes into the stumps. Kohli is gone for a well-made 37 off 28 balls.

Suryakumar Yadav. Short ball, hooks and SIX! Brilliant way to start the innings. Appeal for caught behind and umpire raises the finger! Surya is gone for a two-ball six.

Suddenly India is three down. Shivam Dube at crease. Tanzim welcomes him with a bouncer that the left-hander leaves. It’s a wide. He’s off the mark with a single. Terrific over that for Bangladesh. 

Rishad Hossain into the attack. In the slot and Kohli lofts it straight over the bowler’s head for SIX. A single on the next ball. Two wides already in this over by Rishad.

Mahedi for his third over. Kohli gets a single on the second ball. Pant gives him the strike back on the next ball. Just three singles in that over. 

Mustafizur Rahman. Kohli drives towards covers and gets a double. Not a fast outfield here. Slight misfield by cover fielder inside the circle and Kohli takes a single. Pant pushes the ball towards deep fine leg for a single. SIX! Kohli slaps the ball towards midwicket. Classy shot. Pushes the ball towards mid off for a single to end the PowerPlay. 

Mahedi is back. Kohli takes a single on the second ball. Pant comes down the track and defends. Drifting down the leg, Pant guides it fine of short fine leg and takes a double. Defends again. 

Shakib continues. Rohit comes down the track and lofts him straight for a SIX! Brilliant shot. Nice way to begin the over. Now Shakib drags his length back and Rohit cuts it for four! OUT!

Rishabh Pant in at number three. He begins with two dot balls. 

Tanzim Hasan with his right arm pace now. Kohli tucks the first ball towards square leg for a single. Rohit takes a quick single on the next ball. On the pads and Kohli flicks it towards square leg for four! Six runs from the over. 

Shakib Al Hasan from the other end. Kohli takes a single on the first ball. Rohit times his sweep to perfection and gets a boundary. He takes a single on the third. SIX!

Najmul Hossain Shanto: We would like to bowl first. We would like to restrict them to a small total and that is the plan. We know the conditions here and also about the wind factor. Looks a good wicket. 150-160 will be a good score I reckon. We have one change. Taskin is not playing.

Rohit Sharma: We wanted to bat and that’s what we got. Looks like a good wicket and depends on how much the sun is beating down and making the pitch slow. Important to assess the conditions quickly. We are playing the same team.
