India put a foot in the semi-finals of the Twenty20 World Cup following their nervy five-run victory against Bangladesh in a rain-hit Group 2 humdinger in Adelaide.
Virat Kohli made an unbeaten 64 to maintain his red-hot form and KL Rahul (50) ended his run drought as they fired India to a commanding 184/6 at Adelaide Oval.
Chasing a revised target of 151 in 16 overs after rain interruption, Bangladesh looked on course with Litton Das (60) going great guns but his exit unhinged his side who eventually finished on 145/6.
India moved to top of Group 2 with six points, one ahead of South Africa who have played one game fewer.
Earlier, Zimbabwe's hopes of reaching the semi-finals of the World Cup effectively evaporated following their five-wicket defeat by the Netherlands.
Zimbabwe were all out for 117 in 19.2 with only Sikander Raza (40) and Sean Williams (28) reaching double digits.
Kiwi-born Max O'Dowd led the Netherlands' reply with 52 and Tom Cooper made 32 as the Dutch side, who have already crashed out, registered their first Super 12 win with two overs to spare.
