[JSRAW]

Lucky Bangladesh!!
What a not out!!!
Is that Rohit? Very much nervous team. India is doing shit tonight. Chahal was good though but bad luck he missed it.
Why did India not change any of the player? Shardil Thakur could get a place in the XI.
Wicket  

Rishabh messed up with stumping
Krunal's misfield
Yeah, rohit dropped the catch sitter

Its good that India didn't changed the team. let's give same players full series, if some (Rishabh/Khaleel/KL Rahul) doesn't perform then others are waiting in the line.

Wicket  

Liton Das got lucky twice and still he couldn't make use of it. First the keeper (Rishabh Pant) missed the stumping, and then Rohit Sharma dropped a very easy chance (can't blame Rohit here, as both Dube and Pant were about to collide with him). He was batting at 17, at the time of the missed stumping and had made 26 when Rohit dropped him. But then he got out for 29.

That said, Bangladesh is looking very good here and their run rate is above 8 runs per over. It should not be too hard for them to get to a score of around 170, with nine wickets remaining. Apart from Washington Sundar, none of the bowlers are looking impressive for me. And it looks like we can expect some fireworks after the 15th over from the Bangladeshi batsmen.

Washington Sundar completed his spell and he bowled well for India and Chahal bowled well but once Pant missed the stumping chance then they started score runs against them and if they finish his spell the rest of the three bowlers are pretty ordinary and Bangladesh will score above 170 runs from the way they are playing as they are scoring boundaries at ease and the India fielding is not great either.

Mushi has gone now  
A minimum of 180+ is needed to defend. Don't know if it's possible or not. Soumyo needs to play some big shorts now. Still some good batsman are behind him. We are lucky though  

Soumyo gone as well

Nope.. I guess if Bangladesh scores around 160-170, then they will be having a 50% chance of winning this match. But the problem is that now they are losing wickets at regular intervals. Both Mushfiqur Rahim and Soumya Sarkar are gone now. India has snatched the advantage back, thanks to a fabulous over from Yuzvendra Chahal. Seven overs remaining now and Bangladesh needs to score at least 8 runs per over without losing too many wickets, which is going to take them to somewhere in the vicinity of 160.

As long as Mahmudullah is in the crease they will score above 160 runs and if India is able to break one more partnership then they could restrict Bangladesh well below that, three more overs to go and there will be due when India comes to bat and it will be difficult to score boundaries and spinners will find it difficult to grip the ball, if the top order performs then India will win the match.

5 wickets down. Only Mahmudullah stands on the crease but is playing a quite slow cricket as comparison to T-20 standards. If he starts hitting then Bangaldesh have a chance of reaching 160+ target. On second note Khaleel is leaking runs so I think it is east to achieve that 160-170 mark if they capitalize on loose deliveries properly from here on.

Bangladesh were going so well but all of sudden they have started to lose the way and lost few quick wickets. No matter what they end up with they have to stop the Indian batsmen from making the runs quickly and best way is to take early wickets. This is still anyone game and a lot depend upon how India start their innings.

India bowled really well in the last five overs and took wickets to restrict the flow of runs and they were well ahead to score over 160 runs at one point and now they are well short of that target and if the Indian openers gives a good start then India could win the match as it is not a big total, fielding is really sloppy and batsman are scoring runs for the balls going to the keeper, Pant needs to improve his skills and Bangladesh score 153 runs in their 20 overs.

[RapTarX]

154, not a big target for the Indian batsman unless they messed up everything. Although at the beginning, things were not in favor of India, Chahal brought back. The only one army who always do pretty good job.
India must have won the match without any trouble, let's see if @Little Mouse have missed the pool or not 

[Sithara007]

Very poor finish from Bangladesh after they got to such a great start. They finished at 153/6, but I still believe that they are short by 10-15 runs. If they had got to 160-170, then they had a great chance of defeating India. But now the advantage is with India, unless one of the Bangladeshi bowlers come up with an exceptional performance. The difference of 10-15 runs may not look that big. But it matters a lot in this format.

BTW, I would be very surprised if India doesn't drop Khaleel Ahmed for the next match. He had a poor match on Sunday and he had another pathetic performance today. He was the lone weak spot in the Indian bowling attack as everyone else had a good outing. Both the spinners were outstanding, as was the opening bowler (Deepak Chahar).

Todays game looks like Bangladesh was missing something around the match. And yea It's the Tamim and Shakib. Lastly Bangladesh has been facing lack of experienced   batsman heavily.  The score should be 170-180. Then it would be fighting score Against India.

Despite that I still think that it was a poor performance from Khaleel Ahmed continuing in the same way from the first T-20. Things just went in place with Chahal's crucial wicket break of Rahim and Sarkar otherwise it would have gone Bangladesh way and India would have faced a 170+ target.

Right now things are looking good with Rohit and Dhawan picking it up slowly and seems like trying to settle down and build up the score.

Well.. I have to disagree there. No one was talking about either Shakib or Tamim after Bangladesh won the match on Sunday. Their batting is doing better than expected against the Indian bowlers. I would say that now the bowling has turned to be their weak spot. I agree that Shakib is a legend, but for now it looks like the team has managed to do well even without him.

For now, India looks to be on the driver's seat. They have made 38/0 after 4.0 overs and Rohit Sharma is smashing the hapless Bangladeshi bowlers all around the ground. Both the opening bowlers have failed and the game is quickly slipping out of Bangladesh's hand. It looks like the series will be tied at 1-1, and the 3rd match at Nagpur will turn out to be decisive.

[RapTarX]

Rohit is on fire. I thought to place a bet but didn't  Unlucky me.
It's an easy win now.

When you lose, you make complain. That's true for everyone. Bangladesh missed their batting consistency tonight to be honest. They were not able to play their-selves after losing wickets. No one was able to play a longer match and that's where they have lost the match. Otherwise, the score could be much higher.

Rohit is gone... but not before making a well played 85 with a strike rate of around 200. The Bangladeshi bowling was in tatters, perhaps with the exception of the leg-break bowler Aminul Islam. The series is now tied 1-1, and whoever wins the 3rd T20 will win the series. But looking at the display put up by the Indian batsmen today, I don't have much hope for Bangladesh for the remainder of the series.

If Rohit did not perform then it would have being a tight match with the batting line up India had and hence you do not need to be sad, we will make that up in the third T20 and even i missed the betting pool as the wallet was offline today, Rohit Sharma lost his wicket now and India just need 21 runs at 3 runs per over and India leveled the series in grand fashion.

The target was not very challenging for India, especially with world class batsmen such as Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan opening the innings. First of all, Bangladesh needed a score around 170 to put some sort of pressure on India, which they failed to do. A target of 154 is like cakewalk for India, especially in a surface like Rajkot which is batting-friendly.

Bangladesh needs to introspect why they could not get to 170-180, even after getting such a good start. Some of their batsmen, including Mohammad Naim, Liton Das, Soumya Sarkar and Mohammad Mahmudullah were scoring runs relatively quickly. But none of them could get to a half-century. They were probably short by around 15 runs.

Post Match comment in advance "fingers cross if something goes wrong and ready to eat humble pie "

It was batting pitch but Indian bowlers bowled well today after that Indian batsmen were clinical with their performance. Chase always becomes easy peasy when Top 3 performs like that. glad to see couple of cracking shots from KL Rahul (but i still hate his guts as a cricketer) and Rishabh.

Now series is 1-1

Minus Rahul and Pant

Otherwise same sentiments.

[teosanru]

I think this was an easy win for India. Rohit Sharma looked Fantastic today and this great score by him signifies that he can handle the pressure of captaincy and bat well too. Indian just lost two wickets while chasing the target it almost looked like an altogether different team playing in today's match. Even the bowling side looked completely different from what they looked like in the previous Match. Chahal was much more successful in taking wickets. I think India have risen once again as top favorites in this series.
