Adelaide: Breathless at the Oval! India nearly slipped on the proverbial banana peel before a fortuitous rain break worked in their favour on Wednesday night as they pulled off a 5-run win (by D/L method) over Bangladesh. As their bowlers pulled things back in dramatic fashion in a curtailed 16-over game, Bangladesh's old bugbear, pressure, undid opening batter Litton Das' extraordinary effort.
It's not easy to overshadow Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav all in one day, but that's exactly what Litton (60 off 27 balls; 7x4, 3x6) nearly managed to pull off.
When Bangladesh began their chase of 185, it was as if Litton knew exactly when the rain would come and exactly what he had to do.
The ferocity of his onslaught perhaps took the Indian pacers by surprise. By the time the rain came, seven overs had been bowled and Bangladesh were 66/0, a clear 17 above the D/L par score, with Litton on 59 off 26 balls. To put things in perspective, his opening partner Najmul Hossain Shanto had only managed 7 from 16 balls at the other end by then.
