Dhoni, Karthik take India past 100

September 28, 2018 23:12

India 117-3 (25 ovs) vs Bangladesh 222 | Scorecard

Bangladesh looking to build some pressure on the experienced Dhoni as they bring in six fielders inside the circle against left-arm spinner Islam.

Dhoni punches the second ball through the covers for a single before Karthik pulls a short ball into the stands over long-on for a six.

Bangladesh are desperate for a breakthrough as they bring back the experienced Mustafizur, who bowled just three overs in his first spell.

He does well to start his new spell with a tidy over, conceding just a single off the last ball to Dhoni, who has made a slow with just five from 19 balls.

Another tidy over from Islam from the other end as he also concedes just a single as Bangladesh look to dry up the runs.

Dhoni breaks the shackles as he hammers Mustafizur through the covers for a boundary and then turns the fifth ball on the leg side for two runs.

In the next over, he chips down the track and lofts spinner Hasan down the ground for a four.

At the halfway stage, India are 112 for three in 25 overs, needing another 111 runs for victory at an asking rate of 4.4.

Karthik looks well settled at the moment on 28, while Dhoni, on 17, is looking to cut loose with a few boundaries.
