Following a 93-run stand for the first wicket between Tanzid Hasan and Litton Das, Bangladesh failed to build up a decent partnership as Indian bowlers dominated the middle overs. After opener Tanzid (51) and skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto's (8) departures, Indian wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul took a giant leap on his left to dismiss all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz on Mohammed Siraj's delivery.

On the first ball of the 25th over, Siraj bowled a back-of-length delivery down the leg side that found the edge of Hasan's bat and KL Rahul did a brilliant job behind the stumps. KL Rahul dived to his left to take a one-handed stunner to pick the third wicket for India.
