However, after struggling for the first ten overs, the Indian batsmen counter-attacked in the last ten overs and put on a challenging total in the circumstances. Bangladesh never looked like chasing the total down as India picked up wickets at regular intervals and minimised any chance for the home side to give India a 45-run win in the first match of the tournament.
Here are the stats from the game:
