After team India defeated Bangladesh by 17 runs in the 5th T20I of the Nidahas Trophy tri-series on Wednesday, thus sealing a spot for themselves in the final. The side which is led by Rohit Sharma gave Bangladesh 177 target to chase with the skipper scoring match-winning 89 runs. Bangladesh failed to reach the target set by India, just reaching 159 runs for loss of 6 wickets in their 20 overs with Indian spinners Washington Sundar and Yuzvendra Chahal bowling economical spells. Sundar, who recorded figures of 22/3 in his four overs addressed the press conference after the match and said that it was important for him and Chahal to bowl well in the middle.

“It’s a very good feeling when you bowl under 6 every day. It was very important for me and Chahal to bowl well. Our 8 overs were very important. Mine and Chahal’s four overs were very crucial and both us bowled well. It is not an easy wicket to defend any kind of totals. You saw them (Bangladesh) chasing down 215 odd runs. So we had our plans,” the 18-year-old said.

While Sundar took the wickets of set batsmen Tamim Iqbal 27 runs, Liton Das departs for 7 runs and Soumya Sarkar went cheaply for 1 run to dismantle the top order of the opposition, Chahal too recorded figures of 21/1 in his four overs to restrict Bangladesh’s middle-order. India is the first team to qualify in the final of Nidahas trophy.
