INDIA v BANGLADESH 1997-98 Wisden CricInfo staff - January 1, 1999
At Mumbai, May 25 (day/night). India won by five wickets. Toss: Bangladesh. Despite being gifted 21 wides, Bangladesh struggled to set a three-figure target. They managed, thanks to 44-run partnership between the watchful Khaled Masud and the more aggressive Hasib-ul-Hassan, who had come together at 71 for eight. Kumble took three for 17. India began at a sprint until Tendulkar, returning after a two-match rest to play before his home crowd, was first out in the tenth over – with the score already 72. His departure abruptly changed the game; it took India almost 20 more overs, and four more wickets, to reach the target. Bangladesh had needed a large total to boost their run-rate; their qualification now depended upon a titanic Kenyan collapse to the last qualifier. Man of the Match: A.
