5 thrilling matches at the World T20 that don't fade away from our memories

3. India vs Bangladesh, 2016

Mushfiqur Rahim reacts after being caught

India and Bangladesh registered the most compelling game of the ongoing edition of the World T20 – a game which eventually saw India snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat.

Coming out to bat first, India’s superstar batting line-up was expected to set the field on fire with some explosive strokeplay, but that was not to be as constant dismissals aided by a wicket on the slower side allowed the Men in Blue to only post 146 on the board.

Bangladesh started off their chase with intent and dominated the middle orders much thanks to some decisive stroke play from the blades of Shakib-al-Hasan.

At no point of time did it seem that Bangladesh was going to lose the match, even though a few of the Indian bowlers managed to cut the flow of runs towards the end of the innings. What eventually lost Bangladesh the contest was brain freeze when after managing to make eight off the first three deliveries of the final over, the batsmen pressed the self-destruct button.

It was Mushfiqur Rahim, who first after getting the required equation down to 2 off 3 starting celebrating. He was caught at long-on off the very next ball. 2 needed from 2 balls. Mahmadullah, the other set batsman in the middle tried smashing a high full toss over deep midwicket and held out to Ravindra Jadeja in the deep. Two balls, two wickets, the score hadn’t moved.

The final delivery saw the batsman playing and missing, and Dhoni doing a dash to the stumps – doing a Johnty and breaking the bails before the non-striker could manage to complete the bye. India kept their semi-final hopes alive with this win knocking Bangladesh out of the tournament.
