India entered the✨ ⛄final of the Nidahas Trophy 2018 after a 17-run win over Bangladesh on Wednesday.
Chasing 177 runs, Bangladesh fell short of the target as they finished their 20 overs with 159/6. Mushfiqur Rahim remained unbeaten on 72 as he missed out guiding his team to a win. Washington Sundar was th🍸e star bowler for India as he struck thrice in quick succession sending back Tamim Iqbal (27), Liton Das (7) and Soumya Sarkar (1) to the pavilion in powerplay overs.
Earlier, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma🐽 (89) led from the front and helped India post 176/3 against Bangladesh in the fifth match of the tri-series.
Rohit, who was out of form for quite a long time, returned to the form and slammed his 13th fifty off 42 balls. Suresh Raina’s quick 47 also helped Team India in setting a fighting total on the board.
Here is how Twitter reacted to India’s win:

Very impressive from Washington Sundar. Looks a quick learne𝔍r apart from being clever. Well done India on reaching the finals. Hitman♍ back in form is great news as well.

The one quality needed to be successful as a spinner in T20s above everything else,🐻 is courage. Washington Sundar seems to have it.👏👏👏

This was one big knock Suresh Raina had been searching for and it came at a critical🦂 juncture of the game with India’s run rate almost drifting away. Expect another one from in the Finals now

Good Lord, Rohit Sharma seems to have saved his runs for the important games – this one and the Finals!!!! Cometh the Hour, Cometh the Hour

7 Afg v Zim (2015-18)
7 Ind v Ban (2009-18)— Deepu Narayanan (@deeputalks)
Mushfiqur Rahim 72* is🧔 the HIGHEST individual score by a WK 🍌batsman in an unsuccessful run-chase. Previous: Wesley Barresi 70* v SCO, 2013
