India 71-1 (10 ovs) vs B'desh | Scorecard

Pacer Hider comes back into the attack. The first ball deceives Rohit, who is beaten by the change of pace, but the thick outside edge flies past the wicketkeeper for a four.

Three singles before Dhawan lofts the left-arm pacer down the ground for a four to take the score to 49 for no loss in six overs.

Left-arm spinner Nazimul comes back. A single to Rohit off the first ball brings up India's 50, in the seventh over. Dhawan (22) skies the third ball high on the leg side but Liton Das puts down a tough chance close to the ropes to give the left-hander a lifeline.

In the next over, Dhawan pulls Hasan through midwicket for a four to get nine runs from the eighth over.

This has been a conservative approach by the two openers, taking calculated risks to keep the run rate going while looking for singles throughout. They have laid a solid platform for the middle order and if they can have a strong finish they could end up in a total in excess of 175.

A good over from Nazimul conceding just four runs in his third as Bangladesh look to build some pressure and force the batsmen into a mistake.

Pacer Hossain comes back and he makes the much-needed breakthrough with the wicket of Dhawan.

The left-hander, who made 35 from 27 balls, plays all over a full straight delivery only to miss it and is bowled.

Suresh Raina nearly falls off the very next delivery. He flicks the first ball uppishly off his hips but the fielder on the fine leg fence is late to react and misses out on a possible opportunity!
