IND VS BAN, Rising Stars Asia Cup Semifinal Highlights: Bangladesh clinch win in Super Over

“Should apologise to everyone supporting us. I knew the equation but I don't know what happened in my mind and I threw the ball (during the last ball). So in the Super Over, when we were going in with the ball, I just said whatever happens, I take responsibility. When me and Sohan were going, we had our sight on 180. But the way Meherob and Yasir finished the game (innings) was incredible. Hats off to them. The way their openers started, we didn't bowl that bad, but they executed brilliantly. Came down to the wire. The way Ripon bowled 19th over gave us a boost. Sometimes in hindsight you can think that I should go with seamers, but at that moment I felt Rakibul can do it and he did. Still trying to soak it in. Of course we'll take some rest and go to the drawing board tomorrow.”

“Good game of cricket, good learning for us, I will take all responsibility, as a senior I should finish the game. It's about the learning, not the losing. You never know, these guys may win World Cup for India some day. In terms of talent they're touching the sky. It's all about learning and experience. My wicket was the turning point. I know how to handle these situations. They bowled really well. Whoever bowled the 19th over, credit to him. All 20 overs we were in control, don't blame anyone. It's a good game, that's it. They are masters of powerplay (Vaibhav and Priyansh) but in the death me, Ashu and Raman are who can hit at will. So it was team decision and my decision (lineup for Super Over). That leftie guy who played the innings, incredible to play such shots, they also have incredible future.”

Suyash to Akbar Ali – Wide. Bangladesh win the thriller.

Googly spins sharply down leg. Akbar misses the glance, the keeper misses the stumping, and the umpire stretches his arms. The extra seals it.

Bangladesh snatch victory by the barest margin.

Suyash Sharma to Yasir Ali – Out. Caught by Ramandeep at long-on.

Tossed up generously outside off. Yasir looks to clear the ropes but gets too much under it. Ramandeep settles under the skier and pouches it safely.

Bangladesh 0/1 after the first ball, the drama never ends.

Ripon to Ashutosh Sharma – Out. Caught at extra cover. Another pinpoint full delivery on off. Ashutosh steps forward to loft, slices across it, and it flies straight to the fielder. Two wickets in two balls! Bangladesh on fire, India 0/2. BAN need 1 run to win.

Ripon to Jitesh Sharma – Bowled! Perfect yorker spears right into the blockhole at the base of middle stump. Jitesh telegraphs a reverse-lap, gets into position too early and is castled. Dream start for Bangladesh – India 0/1 after one ball. Ashutosh Sharma comes to bat.

India batted second, so they will bat again. Jitesh Sharma and Ramandeep Singh stride out to the middle. Bangladesh hand the ball to Ripon Mondal. A smart choice under pressure. Here we go.

Match has become and excellent thriller.

Harsh Dubey mishits a full ball outside off to long-on. The batters settle for a reluctant second run.

The throw comes in wide. Keeper Akbar Ali panics and attempts a wild under-arm flick at the stumps. He misses completely. No one backs up. The ball rolls away.

India steal the third run and level the scores. The Indian camp erupts in celebration.

A monumental error gifts India a Super Over!

19.3 – Six Ashutosh gets under another flat dart and lofts it cleanly over long-on – massive!

Players of both teams walk out in the middle for the National Anthems. It's a classic Rabindranath Tagore moment. Both the national anthems are sung by Tagore. India go first, followed by Bangladesh.

India A captain Jitesh Sharma has won the toss and opted to field first. The Boys in Blue go with an unchanged playing XI.

India A should be wary of both Ripon Mondol and Rakibul Hasan, who have been key bowlers for Bangladesh. In fact, Ripon is the highest wicket-taker so far in the tournament with seven scalps.

Despite making a hundred, India's Vaibhav Suryavanshi is placed second in the list of most run-getters. Pakistan A's Maaz Sadaqat tops the list with 201 runs. Bangladesh's Habibur Rahman Sohan is his team's leading run-scorer with an unbeaten ton to his name.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been India's standout batter in the tournament. All eyes will be on the 14-year-old when India A take on Bangladesh A in the first semifinal. Toss coming up soon
