To chase 177-run target set by India, Tigers managed to score 159 for 6 in 20 overs in the match.

For Bangladesh, Mushfiqur Rahim hit 72 off 55, to fire eight boundaries and one six to keep the hope to win against India alive. But the hope did not come true.

Sent in to bat first, India scored 176 for 3 in 20 overs where skipper Rohit Sharma played an innings of 89 off 61 balls, including five boundaries and five sixes, in his opening place.

R Sharma, who was run out on India’s final collection after facing Rubel Hossain, shared a partnership innings of 102 off 8.4 overs in the 2nd wicket stand with Suresh Raina in another partnership of 70 off 9.5 overs in the opening stand with Shikhar Dhawan.

S Raina hit 47 off 30 balls, to fire five boundaries and two sixes, before being caught by Soumya Sarkar off Rubel on 172/2 in 19.1 overs.

Rubel bowled out S Dhawan who scored 35 runs from 27 balls with five boundaries and one six for Bangladesh’s first breakthrough and to dismiss S Dhawan from the opening stand.

Pace bowler Rubel got two wickets for an economic 27-run in four overs for the Tigers.
