... The Run Chase ...
Right then.
KL Rahul says that it has been a bit of a mixed time and tells that he came into the World Cup with some runs and batted well in the warm-up as well. Adds that things didn't go well before this match for him in this World Cup but says that he was batting well in the nets and mentions that it feels good to get runs under the belt. Feels that they can defend this total and adds that there is something in the pitch for the bowlers and if they can bowl in the right areas, they can defend this total.
Bangladesh dominated in the Powerplay. The had India under the pump but they faltered in the middle overs. Hasan Mahmud dropped Rohit Sharma early on, but later redeemed himself by picking up three important wickets for his side. Shakib Al Hasan also did really well to apply some pressure in the middle overs by bagging two wickets. Bangladesh will need to turn on the heat with the blade here.
It was a rather slow start for India. They could not take on the new-ball bowlers as the would've liked with the overcast conditions benefitting the seamers. Rohit Sharma was the first one to depart, although KL Rahul found his mojo back and answered the critics with his stunnning half-century. He got a great support by Kohli, who later continued to hit the ball well and remains unbeaten on 64. Suryakumar Yadav and Ravichandran Ashwin both of them played crucial cameos to get over the 180-run mark.
A dominating performance by India! Virat Kohli shines once again in his favourite hunting ground, Adelaide Oval. Bangladesh would be disappointed with their death bowling, as it is India who head into the break with the momentum on their side.

Kohli drives it to the extra-cover region. Shakib Al Hasan there makes a good stop and throws it towards the bowler's end as Dinesh Karthik is almost halway down the pitch looking for a run.
