NOTTINGHAM: Left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha grabbed 4-21 as defending champions India overpowered Bangladesh by 25 runs in the World Twenty20 here on Saturday. Gautam Gambhir hit 50 and Yuvraj Singh cracked a blistering 41 off 18 as India scored 180-5. Ojha then returned the best figures in the competition so far as Bangladesh faded after a rousing start to finish with 155-8. Gambhir held steady at one end for 17 overs before falling to off-spinner Naeem Islam. But it was Yuvraj who set the innings alight with three boundaries and four sixes in a knock that included 19 runs in the 17th over bowled by Naeem. Yuvraj’s blitz helped India plunder 59 runs in the last four overs. The Tigers made a rollicking start, scoring 74 runs by the eighth over for the loss of two wickets. Opener Junaid Siddique led the early charge with 41 off 22 balls including two fours and three sixes. Zaheer Khan was smashed for 20 runs in his first two overs. Ojha turned the game around with two wickets in his first over, the ninth of the innings, including that of Siddique. Ojha, who had removed Shakib Al Hasan with his first ball, later had Mohammad Mahmudullah caught by Yuvraj and bowled Mashrafe Mortaza to effectively end Bangladesh’s challenge. Naeem, who took two wickets in India’s innings, made 28 off 17 balls. India’s rising star Rohit Sharma (36) put on 59 for the first wicket with Gambhir by the eighth over when he was bowled by Shakib. Sharma smashed three boundaries and two sixes during his 23-ball innings. Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (26) helped Gambhir add 53 for the second wicket. Yuvraj took charge at that stage, pulling the spinners and seamers alike hard and high, to help India make a winning start.
