Umesh Yadav was the most successful Indian bowler having bagged four wickets for 31 runs.Other other pacemen Mohit Sharma and Mohammad Shami claimed one and two wickets respectively while Ravindra Jadeja got two.
Earlier, coming to bat for India, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli and Azinkya Rahane were out when the team's total was at 115 off 28 overs.Till then Bangladesh bowlers were giving out a spirited performance and fielders doing a commendable job giving a scare to India.
