"Sharma's innings included five sixes as he reached his fourth T20 half-century in response to Bangladesh's decision to field first in Wednesday's encounter. After a middle-order wobble by India, Hardik Pandya scored 38 off 29 balls, but the total felt as though it was little more than a par effort on a slow wicket at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium."
"Bangladesh were bowled out for 127 in reply despite Saif Hassan's fourth T20 half-century. He scored 69 off 51 balls, but it wasn't enough to help his side to a second Super Fours victory as they chased a similar target to the one that saw them overcome Sri Lanka on Saturday. The margin of victory could have been much greater, but India's fielding left much to be desired again with five dropped catches."
India posted 168-6 after Abhishek Sharma's explosive 75 off 37 and contributions from Hardik Pandya. Sharma struck five sixes and formed a 77-run opening stand that propelled the innings on a slow Dubai wicket. Kuldeep Yadav returned figures of 3-18 as Bangladesh were bowled out for 127 in reply. Saif Hassan top-scored with 69 off 51 but lacked support from the rest of the batting line-up. India dropped five catches, reducing the margin, yet dominant batting and spin ensured qualification for the final and eliminated Sri Lanka.
