India 108-2 (14 ovs) vs B'desh 139-8 | Scorecard


Off-spinner Hasan bowls a tight over, giving away just two singles from five balls.

Dhawan looks for a boundary off the last ball as he comes down but is hit on the pads.

The umpire turns down the LBW appeal as Bangladesh take the DRS but the ball is clipping the leg stump which means the decision stays with umpire's call.

Mustafizur comes back into the attack. Raina picks one before Dhawan charges down to the pacer but fails to make proper connection for a single over mid-off followed by three more singles to get five from the over.

Captain Mahmudullah brings himself into the attack. Raina pulls the first ball to deep square leg for two runs and then takes one.

Dhawan then pulls a short ball high over midwicket for a six followed by two more singles as India continue to cruise with the bat.

Left-arm spinner Nazimul Islam comes into the attack as Bangladesh look for a breakthrough to bring themselves back into the contest.

Dhawan paddles the second ball fine on the leg side for a four to race to his fifty, from just 35 balls, his second in a row in the series.

He gets a lifeline off the next ball as wicketkeeper Rahim misses an easy opportunity to stump the left-hander.

This is proving to be too easy for India as they collect nine runs from the over.

They need another 32 runs from six overs for victory.
