5 memorable last-ball wins in ICC World T20 history

India vs Bangladesh (2016)

This is Bangladesh’s most painful memory of recent times. The Tigers have been the subject of many devastating losses from absolutely clearcut winning scenarios. However, this game inflicted so much pain in their hearts that perhaps only the Asia Cup final defeat to Pakistan could rival it.

Some exceptional bowling from the Tigers restricted India to a mere score of 146. It seemed like a reasonable target on a pitch were 160 was achievable. And Bangladesh were cruising when Sabbir Rahman was at the crease.

However, some quick wickets put Bangladesh in a tricky position, but with 11 needed off the last over, the match was in balance. The next 3 balls produced 9 runs. Win in the bag for Bangladesh, everyone thought.

But thanks to some irresponsible batting from Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahamudullah, and some calm fielding by India, Bangladesh couldn’t muster another run and lost the game off the last ball.
