The Indian batsmen made the chase look easy and put in a comprehensive performance.Here are the major talking points from the game:

#1 Is Bumrah India\'s version of Lasith Malinga?

Since making his debut for India, Jasprit Bumrah has been in impeccable form with the ball, doing well in Australia, India and now even in Bangladesh. Behind Hardik Pandya, Bumrah is India's second highest wicket-taker in the 2016 Asia Cup T20.

In 5 matches, Bumrah has picked up 6 wickets at an average of 15.66 and an economy rate of 5.22. Although the number of wickets might not actually prove the threat that the 22-year-old poses, his habit of not giving away easy runs is what makes him a special talent.

With a slingy action that resembles Sri Lanka's frontline bowler Lasith Malinga's, Bumrah is able to bowl the toe-crushing yorkers that are a threat to any batsman. India has long missed the services of a bowler who could prove a real danger to the opposition in the death overs and it seems like Bumrah is the perfect one to execute that role.

If the youngster can go on to replicate his form in the upcoming tournaments and series for his national side, he could turn out to be one of the most intimidating bowlers of the modern era.
