2018 under-19 World Cup: Five reasons why India beat Bangladesh in the quarter-final

Bangladesh's middle-order collapse:

When Bangladesh were still in the game in the middle of their innings, some good work by the Indian players on the field turned the game in favour of them in a matter of just four overs. Bangladesh were 76/2 after 22 overs and looked threatening to take the game away from India. But, the Indians kept piling on the pressure and that resulting in the implosion of Bangladeshi middle-order.

Opener Pinak Ghosh, who was the set batsman with 43 runs, tried to slog sweep Anukul Roy and ended up getting caught by Ishan Porel at short fine-leg. It was when the Bangladeshi batsmen pressed the panic button as Towhid Hridoy, who looked good in his brief stay at the crease, was run out by Shivam Mavi and in the very next over, Bangladesh's last recognised batsman Aminul Islam ran himself out in the next over, thanks to some good work by Kamlesh Nagarkoti in the field.

Thanks to the pressure built by the Indian bowlers and fielders, the Bangladesh batsmen were forced to take risks to keep the scorecard ticking and eventually, lost some wickets.
