Melbourne: There are always ifs and buts, but Bangladesh may consider themselves unlucky after the Indian innings in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 quarter-final. There were two decisions, which could have gone in their favour, and possibly turned the tide in their direction. Instead, India breathed a sigh of relief and the two batsmen went on to make a big impact on the game. If India go on to win this game, the debate about those two calls may rage on with the umpires and the Decision Review System (DRS) in focus.

When Suresh Raina was on 10, Mashrafe hit him in front of the stumps. The umpire did not give it out. As a result, Bangladesh went upstairs. On the first look, it seemed out as it hit him in front and the ball would have gone on to hit the stumps. They then checked with the ball trackers, which showed that the ball had marginally pitched outside the leg-stump. There was some part inside the line, but a part of it was outside. As a result, the third umpire had to back the on-field call and not overturn it. Had Raina been given out and then referred it, he would have had to head to the pavilion.

The second contentious call came in the 40th over, when Rubel Hossain bowled a high full toss to Rohit Sharma. Rohit pulled it to square-leg, where he was caught quite easily. The umpire signalled it a no-ball for height. Replays showed that it was just on the waist at the point of contact with the bat and Bangladesh could have had their man. Rohit was on 90 then and he went on to make 137. Raina survived the call on 10 and went on to get 65. Those two batsmen changed the course of the game at a time when Bangladesh were looking to restrict India. READ: CONTROVERSY! Rohit Sharma saved as Bangladesh robbed in World Cup quarter-final
Bangladesh would say that had they dismissed those batsmen, they may have had India for much lesser than 302. They now face a tall task to win the quarterfinal.
