India beat Bangladesh off last ball by five wickets for first win at Hong Kong Sixes

After losing three matches in a row at the Hong Kong Sixes, India finally registered their first win, beating Bangladesh by five wickets off the last ball in a match at Mong Kok's Mission Road Ground on Sunday.

India won the toss and chose to bowl, so Bangladesh batted first. They scored 116 for 5 in six overs. Captain Abu Hider Roni remained unbeaten on 62 off 18 balls, with eight sixes and three fours. Habibur Rahman Sohan made 18 off six balls, Sabbir Rahman 13 off four balls and Chowdhury Mohammad Rizwan 12 off five balls.

Captain Krunal Pandya was India's most successful bowler, taking three wickets for 25 runs in two overs. Rahul Tripathi took one wicket.

Chasing 117, India took the game to the final ball. Shashank Singh hit 50 off 15 balls, with seven sixes and one four, but unfortunately retired hurt. Rahul Tripathi made 32 off 12 balls, with three sixes and three fours. Nitish Rana was not out on 10 off four balls and Rahul Tewatia not out on 16 off five balls. Krunal Pandya was named Player of the Match.

Twelve teams are taking part in the tournament, and India have been placed in Group C. They had lost to Pakistan by four wickets in the first match, to the UAE by six wickets in the second and to England by three wickets in the third. After Sunday's win over Bangladesh, India are 11th in the standings.

The Indian squad is full of players who have played international cricket, yet the team's performance so far has not been as good as expected. After the loss to arch-rivals Pakistan, questions are being raised about the team's preparation for the tournament.
