India survived in incredible fashion to keep their hopes of a semifinal place at the World Twenty20 very much alive with a dramatic one-run victory over Bangladesh in Bangalore. The hosts had appeared set to fall victim to the biggest upset of the tournament to leave their chances hanging by a thread ahead of their final group game against Australia.Bangladesh needed just 11 runs to win from their final over and two from their final three balls. But somehow they threw it away. After Hardik Pandya had already gone for two boundaries to leave Bangladesh’s victory appearing a mere formality, both Mushfiqur Rahman and Mahmudullah were caught playing unnecessary aerial shots when singles would have done the job.It was all set up for an unbearably tense final ball. Bangladesh needed two runs to win and one run to force a decisive Super Over. The pressure was all on 22-year-old Pandya, who managed to beat the bat of Shuvagata Hom outside off-stump. Still the single and a tie was a possibility, but Dhoni had just enough pace in his 34-year-old legs to sprint up to the wicket and whip off the bails just in time. - See more at: http://www.tajavdo.com/videos/t20-india-vs-bangladesh-match-highlights/#sthash.O6SEe9aB.dpuf
