Bangladesh's decision to bowl first paying early dividends

Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bowl first. Indian captain Rohit Sharma survived a close LBW call in the fourth over but was dismissed on the first ball of the sixth.

Hasan Mahmud bowled a length delivery around off stump that seamed away, resulting in an outside edge that Shanto easily caught. Rohit scored six runs off 19 balls with the help of one boundary.

Shubman Gill, batting at No. 3, was caught out down the leg side. The 25-year-old had a disappointing outing, getting dismissed for a duck off eight balls. Virat Kohli also struggled to make an impact and became Mahmud's third wicket.

At the time of writing, the hosts were 46/3 after 13 overs with Yashasvi Jaiswal (20) and Rishabh Pant (8) at the crease.

Playing XI of both teams:

India: Rohit Sharma (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Deep, and Mohammed Siraj.

Bangladesh: Shadman Islam, Zakir Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto (ck), Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan, Litton Das (wk), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed, and Hasan Mahmud, and Nahid Rana.
