Bangladesh 58-0 (8 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

The pitch is quite flat and nothing for the fast bowlers so far. Bhuvneshwar tries the bouncer but it stills up quite well for Das, who pulls it through square leg for a four.

The next ball is full but down the leg side as Das glances it fine for another boundary.

An early change in the bowling for India as leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal comes in to bowl the sixth over.

He starts off well with three dot balls, bowling full and on the stumps as Hasan defends.

He throws his bat at the next ball but gets an inside edge which narrowly misses the stumps for a single past Dhoni.

Das lifts the next ball over midwicket for a single to Jadeja who does well to race across and release the ball quickly before Hasan takes one off the last ball.

Change of ends for Bumrah as he takes over from Bhuvneshwar, who bowled three overs for 15 runs.

He starts with a slower ball as Hasan mistimes the drive to point and defends the next which is again slower in pace before he turns the third ball to fine leg for one.

A short ball from Bumrah which is pulled for a four by Das before he keeps strike with a single from the last ball.

Das on the attack as he sweeps Chahal over square leg for a six and then takes one.

Hasan clips Chahal through midwicket for two runs as Bangladesh race past 50 in the eighth over.

Das continues his assault as he heaves the last ball for another six, the second of the over, which goes for 16.

Bangladesh are off to a flier as they race to 58 for no loss in eight overs, with Das hitting 41 from 26 balls and Hasan on 15 from 22 balls.
