That's a wrap:

Three wins in as many games for India with their last two efforts being clinical ones. A day's break tomorrow will help the team rejuvenate before they face off against Pakistan for the second time in this Asia Cup.

Post-match:

Ravindra Jadeja (Man of the Match): "Finally, I am playing after 15 months in an ODI. I always wanted to make a mark when I get a chance. Finally, I got a chance today and I am very happy. Kuldeep and Chahal were also bowling well and luckily I was getting wickets at the other end. That's how bowling works. I try to prove and perform in every format. I will try to play my role with bat too if the opportunity comes against Pakistan."

Rohit Sharma, India captain: "It was a clinical performance right from the start to restrict them to 170-odd. We always knew it was better batting under lights. It is important on this pitch to rotate bowlers as batsmen get used to the bowlers quickly. Conditions were challenging but our bowling unit responded very well for us. Chahal and Kuldeep have been bowling really well. Jadeja played an ODI after very long time. To come out and play an ODI like this is exceptional. Kuldeep and Chahal will have an odd off game. All the bowlers bowled according to the plan. When everything goes to plan, it looks easy. We always knew that it will never be easy for the new batsmen so we wanted one of the top-order batsmen to be out there till the end. We will go back and recover and come back fresh against Pakistan and try to replicate this performance."

Mashrafe Mortaza, Bangladesh captain: "If you look at the batting, we lost wickets from the start. Against Sri Lanka we lost wickets but had a middle-order partnership that did well. You have to back yourself, it was a decent wicket to bat on. We couldn't make any partnership today. We could have made 250-260. It might have been a better track for batting later but 260-270 would have made for a good match. You can't ask bowlers to defend 170 in a 50-over match, so I think our batsmen have to take more responsibility to build the innings. One match can change everything; we are still in the tournament, and we need to do well against Afghanistan next time. They're a tough side to beat because of their bowling, but we can definitely beat them if we get 260-270 on the board."

Comfortable win for India:

Rohit and Karthik complete the formalities as India cruise to victory with 13.4 overs to spare and seven wickets in hand. A clinical performance from India, with contributions coming from most of the team members. First it was Jadeja and the seamers who helped restrict Bangladesh to 173. Rohit (83*) then combined with Dhawan and Dhoni in two half-century stands to help India extend their unbeaten streak in this Asia Cup.

Dhoni doesn't finish it this time:

With four required, Dhoni tried a big shot off Mortaza but wasn't able to clear the fence. He departs for 33.

Fifty-run stand:

A wrist shot to the cover boundary, followed by a slap over Mortaza off a free hit, and a couple for Dhoni and the half-century stand is raised in the 32nd over. Only 15 more required.

India in cruise mode:

A useful stand between Rohit and Dhoni is taking India closer. They have added more than 30 runs already, with Rohit continuing to find the boundaries regularly. India are 142 for 2 after 30, needing only 32 more.

Wicket for Rubel:

Rayudu has to depart for 13, ending a 45-run second wicket stand. He tried to drive on the up but got an inside edge. The umpire thought otherwise but Mushfiqur was hell bent on a review and his call was justified as they was a nick. MS Dhoni walks out to bat at No. 4 with India needing 68 more.

Rohit pulls and pulls it into the orbit!

Massive six as Rohit trampled back to pull one off Mehidy. A few overs later, he sends a Shakib delivery into the stands to bring up his fifty in style. India are 105 for 1 after 23.

End of the opening stand:

Dhawan is trapped in front by Shakib after missing a sweep. He thinks about the review and consults Rohit but the Indian skipper advises him against it. India are now 61 for 1 with Ambati Rayudu at the crease. Replays reveal that it would have been umpire's call and would have made no difference had Dhawan reviewed.

Fizz expensive:

A flurry of boundaries for the Indian openers off the left-arm seamer. Rohit oozed class when he went over the bowler's head while Dhawan has been using the field and the bowler's angles to his advantage. Fifty up for India in the 10th over.

Fizz into the attack...

...at the start of the fifth over. He ends up being pulled by Dhawan for the first six of the innings. India move to 27 for 0 after 5.

Indian openers impose their authority:

While Rohit gets off the mark by caressing a drive to the cover boundary off Mortaza, Dhawan takes on the Bangladesh captain in his next over, smashing a couple of fours through the offside, taking full toll of full deliveries. India are 15 for 0 after 3.

Innings end:

Bangladesh's innings comes to an end with five deliveries remaining in the innings. Bumrah bags the last two wickets as Bangladesh finish with 173. Despite a late fightback from Mehidy and Mortaza, the damage that was done earlier has meant that Bangladesh still finish with a substandard total. Can they make a game out of this?

Meanwhile, Afghanistan have done a good job with the bat to set Pakistan a challenging target. Read more about that,


Ironic that ODI fortunes slipped after that run out of Hardik v Pakistan in ICC CT final. Lately, he has replaced Hardik Pandya in the final Test at Oval & today in the ODI Vs Bangladesh. How life comes around.
