i have a strange feeling that match was fixed...and that we'd never get to know of it coz *cough* the richest cricket team
If you look at the game - 2 runs needed off 3 balls.

3rd last ball - Mushfiq hit's it up in the air
2nd last ball - Riyad hits a FULL TOSS up in the air

When you need 2 runs of 3 balls YOU DON'T HIT THE BALL IN THE AIR. These two batsmen are very EXPERIENCED batsmen and I wonder how you can do two massive mistakes in a row. It just doesn't make sense.

Is cricket turning into a game of politics? The more India win - the better for the game. The more money ICC makes.

But I really don't know I really hope these matches aren't scripted. What is the point of sport then? Cricket/sport used to be a game where teams would compete to represent their nations and bring pride back to their respective countries. To find out that these games are being played for money and are being scripted would be really shit.

Didn't look fixed to me... but then again, this is India vs Bangladesh so anything could be possible. I'd be disappointed if it was because Bangladesh are building a great reputation in the short form, and this would be a huge step backwards for them.

Keen for Aus vs India, hoping for some fireworks on the field ;)

I too felt it was fixed, but I really hope it wasn't.  :(

Ugh I'm so annoyed!! But then again India didn't start off very well. It was only when Virat and MS Dhoni batted together did the team stand a chance. I was hoping the first players would get out quickly, so Virat and Dhoni could come in. West Indies were awesome though. I really think India should have made more use of the rule where only two people can stand outside the boundary for the first six overs. India should have hit a lot of fours and sixes then.
I watched India batting, and then I watched one over of WI batting but then I had to go to bed. :P
Who does everyone think will win the whole thing? West Indies or England? :D

it was only because of the two no-balls (else I think India had the game)

Yep... either one of those wickets would've changed the game dramatically.
