3 reasons why India lost the first T20I against Bangladesh

3. Khaleel Ahmed’s 18 runs over

India was in a controlled position until 18 over. But 19th over guaranteed the win for Bangladesh. Mushifiqur Rahim smashed 4 consecutive boundaries to Khaleel Ahmed in 19th over when they needed 22 runs in the last 2 overs.

The match was totally in hands of Bangladesh now. They just needed 4 runs from the last over and they chased down the target with 3 balls remaining.

What’s next?

Two matches are still to go in this series. India can still make a comeback and win the series. Next 2 matches are two played at Rajkot (7th November) and Nagpur (10th November)
