At 45/3 after the powerplay, India found themselves in a precarious position. Nitish Kumar Reddy, starting cautiously, found a reliable ally in Rinku Singh, who began striking boundaries with ease from the moment he arrived at the crease. However, once Nitish found his rhythm, Rinku took a backseat, allowing Nitish the majority of the strike. Nitish went on an aggressive spree, reaching his maiden half-century in just 27 balls. Together, the duo stitched a rapid 108-run partnership, setting the stage for a big finish before Nitish was eventually dismissed by Mustafizur Rahman.
A decent end for Bangladesh, reining India in that last over as they wrap their innings at 221/9. After being asked to bat first, India got off to a flying start, capitalizing on the opening over and making it clear that the pitch was a batting paradise. However, Bangladesh's captain Najmul Hossain Shanto quickly introduced his ace pacer, Taskin Ahmed, who expertly varied his pace and struck with the first breakthrough, dismissing Sanju Samson. Abhishek Sharma showed positive intent and looked to keep the momentum going but couldn't build on his start, falling in the very next over to a fierce delivery from Tanzim Hasan Sakib. Najmul's decision to trust his pace attack paid off again, as Mustafizur Rahman claimed another wicket inside the powerplay, this time the dangerous Suryakumar Yadav, helping Bangladesh finish the powerplay on a strong note.

A single to end the innings! Rishad offers flight, full and on off, Mayank Yadav reaches out and smears it along the ground to long on and takes a single. An eventful final over. Three wickets and 8 runs off it. India finish with 221 on the board!
OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Rishad drops it short and on middle, Arshdeep Singh gets on the back foot quickly for the pull shot and swings a bit early. Gets a top edge that goes straight up beside the pitch on the leg side. The keeper, Litton Das calls for it and takes a safe catch. Washington Sundar yet to face a ball in the last over. Mayank Yadav is the new man in.

SIX! BOOM! Rishad dishes out a flighted delivery, turning into the left-hander, fuller and on middle, Arshdeep Singh gets down and slog sweeps it to the left of deep mid-wicket for a six.
Arshdeep Singh walks in next!
OUT! TAKEN! Not quite the correct option chosen by Varun Chakaravarthy with Washington Sundar at the other end. Bangladesh won't mind one bit. Rishad loops it up and serves it full, on off, Varun Chakaravarthy skips down the track to go back over the bowler's head. Ends up hitting it straight down the throat of long off where Parvez Hossain Emon takes a few steps back and snaffles it.

Rishad pushes it through, shorter and quicker, on the pads, Varun Chakaravarthy plays all around it and wears it on the pads.
Varun Chakaravarthy walks out to bat at number 9!
OUT! CAUGHT! A timely wicket and that surely will help Bangladesh stem some runs towards the end! Rishad Hossain slows it up and keeps it outside off, on a shorter length, Hardik Pandya throws everything at it in an attempt to slash it over on the off side. The ball turns away and goes off the upper half of the bat to deep cover. Mehidy Hasan at the deep is quick across the turf to his left and takes a good running catch to see the back of Hardik Pandya!

Tanzim Hasan Sakib 50/2(4)
OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Tanzim Hasan Sakib finally gets his man! Tanzim rolls his fingers over the ball and bangs it into the deck, on off, Riyan Parag tries to flat bat it down the ground by staying deep in the crease. He loses his shape and skies it high in the air towards long on where Mahmudullah runs to his left and takes it with ease.
