India made 238 runs batting first, with three key contributions with the bat. And despite rain impacting Bangladesh’s run chase, forcing the implementation of the DLS method and a revised target of 165 from 29 overs, India did enough to hold on for a 16-run victory. The Tigers were all out for 146 off 28.3 overs.
Kundu anchored India’s batting innings with 80 off 112, perfectly complementing Vaibhav’s more aggressive approach. The pair produced a 62-run stand for the fourth wicket to help lay strong foundations, while Chouhan’s 28 off 26 helped with the finishing touches from their 50 overs.
“(Kundu) is batting really well in this tournament, and is in form also, so it’s really nice for us that he’s batting really brilliant and scoring some runs for our team,” Mhatre continued.
