Tigers trapped in Ojha’s web
The night was cold and reception warm, but the Blues dished out red hot stuff to get off the blocks in style at the World Twenty20 Championship here on Saturday.Debutant left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha was the star of the night, turning the match around with his 4/21 to script an authoritative 25-run win over party-poopers Bangladesh at Trent Bridge.
Making first use of the wicket, the defending champions smashed their way to 180/5 via the knocks of Gautam Gambhir (50), Rohit Sharma (36), Mahendra Singh Dhoni (26) and an 18-ball blast that fetched 41 by Yuvraj Singh before restricting their opponents to 155/8, thanks to Ojha’s bag of tricks.
