Litton Das won the toss and chose to bat first and revealed that Nasum Ahmed replaced Hasan Mahmud in the XI. India also had two changes as Umran Malik came in for Kuldeep Sen and Shahbaz Ahmed was replaced by Akshar Patel.
Indian bowlers were at the top as Bangladesh was reduced to 69/6 in 19 overs with Mohammed Siraj removing Anamul Haque (11) and Litton Das (7), and Umran Malik then clean bowled Najmul Hossain Shanto for 21.
Washington Sundar got rid of Shakib Al Hasan (8) and Mushfiqur Rahim (12). This brought together Mahmudullah and Mehidy Hasan Miraz and the duo negated the Indian bowling after that, as they added 148 runs for the seventh wicket.
