T20 WC: India vs Bangladesh: How Rahul turned rain-hit game India’s way

India prevailed over Bangladesh by five runs via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method in a Super 12 contest of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 in Adelaide on Wednesday (November 2). With this victory, India is on top of the Group 2 table with six points from four games.

It was a brilliant comeback by India after rain interrupted Bangladesh’s run chase of 185. KL Rahul’s direct hit to run out Litton Das proved decisive after Bangladesh was handed a revised target of 151 in 16 overs.
