Sharma leads; Bangladesh beat India

India made four changes to their playing eleven – Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja and Navdeep Saini made way for Lokesh Rahul, Twenty20 International debutant Shivam Dube, Yuzvendra Chahal and Khaleel Ahmed.

Bangladesh (Moham)made half-a-dozen changes to the (Rub)eleven that last played the Indians – Tamim Iqbal, Sabbir Rahman, Shakib Al Hasan, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Hossain and Nazmul Islam made way for Twenty20 International debutant Naim, the three Hossains (Afif, Mosaddek and Al-Amin) and the two Islams (Aminul and Shafiul).

On winning the toss, Mahmudullah, Bangladesh’s skipper, inserted the hosts.

The first Powerplay of India’s innings – which was the mandatory Powerplay – was the first and the sixth over. They scored 35, for the loss of a wicket.

An over into the (Shar)match, India sought a batting review. Rohit, India’s skipper, was the batsman. Using the umpire’s call, it was struck down by Nitin Menon. He scored nine off five balls, which included a couple of boundaries. He was trapped leg before wicket by Shafiul, who broke the 10-run stand.

Rahul, whose 17-ball innings included a couple of boundaries, scored 15. Thirty-three balls later, he was caught by Mahmudullah, Bangladesh’s skipper. Aminul broke the 26-run stand.

India scored 50 off 7.4 overs (46 balls). Bangladesh hadn’t conceded any extras at that point.

Shreyas Iyer, whose 13-ball innings included a boundary and a couple of sixes, scored 22. Twenty-three balls after Rahul’s dismissal, he was caught by Naim. Aminul broke the 34-run stand.

The fourth-wicket put on 25. Shikhar Dhawan, whose 42-ball innings included three boundaries and a six, scored 41. Twenty-seven balls later, the brothers-in-law, Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim (who was the player of the match), ran him out.

India scored 100 off 15.4 overs (94 balls). Bangladesh had conceded an extra at that point.

Dube, who faced four balls, scored a run. Seven balls later, he was caught by Afif, who broke the run-a-ball stand.

Rishabh Pant, whose 26-ball innings included three boundaries, scored 27. Fourteen balls later, he was caught by Naim. Shafiul broke the 18-run stand.

Krunal Pandya, whose eight-ball innings included a boundary and a six, scored 15. He was unbeaten, as was Washington Sundar, who scored 14. His five-ball innings included a couple of sixes.

Rahim’s half-century – which included half-a-dozen boundaries and a six – came off 41 balls.

Bangladesh scored 150 off 19.3 overs (117 balls). The number of extras that had conceded at that point gave India no reason to be in seventh heaven. That was, incidentally, the number of extras they eventually conceded.
