T20 World Cup 2022: Top 10 funny Bangladesh memes after a close defeat against India in Adelaide

Team India beat Bangladesh by five runs in a rain-truncated Super 12 contest of the T20 World Cup 2022 at the Adelaide Oval on Wednesday, November 2. Virat Kohli was adjudged the Player of the Match for his match-defining half-century.

The Men in Blue batted first in the contest and posted 184/6 after 20 overs. KL Rahul (50), Virat Kohli (64*), and Suryakumar Yadav (30) helped their side to a healthy total with vital contributions. Hasan Mahmud picked up three wickets while Shakib Al Hasan scalped two.

Litton Das (60 off 27 balls) got his side off to a sensational start in the chase. Das came out all guns blazing, taking the attack to Indian bowlers in the powerplay and helping his side accumulate 60 runs in six overs.

When the rain came pouring down, Bangladesh were 66/0 after seven overs. They were 17 runs ahead of India, according to Duckworth Lewis Method (DLS) at that juncture. After the rain subsided, the match resumed with a revised target. Bangladesh needed to score 151 in 16 overs (DLS).

KL Rahul produced a moment of brilliance soon after the resumption as he affected a direct hit in the eighth over to dismiss Das, giving his side a massive breakthrough.

Bangladesh crumbled under pressure from there, leading to a middle-order collapse. Arshdeep Singh then held his nerves in the death overs and helped his side edge out opponents by five runs.

Speaking at the post-match presentation, Shakib reflected on the loss and said:

"It's been the story when we play against India. We are always there but we never get over the line. It was a great game of cricket. Everyone enjoyed it.

"Someone had to lose. (Litton Das) He's probably our best batter going around. The way we batted in the first six overs, it gave us the momentum and belief that we can win this game. Especially with the conditions on offer."
