A half-century from KL Rahul helped India trap Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, who took five wickets to bundle out the tourists for 186 in 41.2 overs. Shakib backed his skipper Liton Das’ decision to bowl a brilliant first over in which the ball fell India Captain Rohit Sharma (27) and Virat Kohli (9) Leave them tottering.
Rahul fought a lone battle of a well-crafted 73 off 70 but received little or no support from others as Shakib ran through India’s batting line-up with figures of 5/36. He was well supported by Ebadot Hossain, who took 4/47, while Mehdi Hasan Miraj took one wicket.

India started cautiously but the arrival of the spinners made them struggle. Mehidy struck first when he reverse-swept Shikhar Dhawan for 27, before Shakib struck twice in an over that saw Liton take a one-handed catch at cover to dismiss Kohli. Great diving effort.
At 49/3, Rahul moved to join Shreyas Iyer in the middle and a brief recovery took place, raising India’s hopes. However, Abadot broke the partnership for 43 runs in the 20th over by dismissing Shreyas for 24 runs.
Washington Sundar was dropped for 12 but failed to capitalize on the chance to add just seven more to his total before the end.
The Indian lower order was dealt with swiftly by Shahbaz Ahmed (0), Shardul Thakur (2), Deepak Chahar (0).
Rahul’s dismissal in the 40th over ended India’s hopes of a respectable score. He hit five fours and four sixes during his innings.
Brief Scores: India 186-all out in 41.2 Overs (KL Rahul 73, Rohit Sharma 27) vs Bangladesh (Shakib Al Hasan 5/36, Ebadot Hossain 4/47)
