So, India's upward spiral in T20 cricket keeps going. Bangladesh need to go back and work on what went wrong. The had the surface and the toss, but still came short. That's brings an end to proceedings. However, we have another game coming up tomorrow, it is Sri Lanka taking on UAE. Tune in for that encounter. For now, goodnight and sleep tight.
Dhoni: That's not really in our hands (referring to the toss). It would have been good to win the toss. I felt it was a 55-45 sort of toss. The ball was doing a bit and Rohit batted well. That's his (Pandya) strength and we have to promote him more often. He is a good fielder as well. In these conditions he can be an effective third seamer. I will be able to say tomorrow (speaking about his back). Not really (when asked if he has kept count on the number of times he has finished with a six). I think in the last year or so my role has changed. At times it is easy to go and express yourself.
Rohit: It is important for me to carry on from where I left. It is important to carry that confidence. It is a perfect platform leading up to the World Cup. We batted well and came back and defended it well. It was not the easiest wicket, but we knew we had to lay the foundation. I had to bat through for us to get to that target. I was trying to do my basics right. Left the good balls and used the pace of the bowlers to score runs.
Rohit Sharma is the Man of the Match for his match-winning 55-ball 83.
Mortaza: The last 15 years I have been saying that (referring to the loud cheer with which he was greeted). We win or lose they keep supporting us. We were in the game for the first 14 overs, but Rohit took the game away from us. We could have done certain things differently, but it was not to be today.
India continue their supremacy in the shortest version of the game with another convincing win. The good thing was that they did not take the opposition lightly and after being pushed to the corner during the first innings, came back hard to stamp their authority. Bangladesh, once again, found themselves short of the firepower in the middle to hunt down a big target. While they had a sporting track to test the opponents with some talented quick bowlers, they never had the batting to tackle the Indian attack on this surface.
Once India had 166 on the board, it was always going to be tough for the hosts. Eventually, they crumbled under pressure. Rohit Sharma's innings proved to be the difference between the two sides as Bangladesh failed to find a sheet anchor. Sabbir Rahman tried to hold one end but never looked threatening enough to overhaul the target. Indian pacers, led by Ashish Nehra, were brilliant. There was some dew around but that did not deter the spinners from executing their job to perfection. In hindsight, Bangladesh would feel that India got 20 more runs than what could have been a chaseable score.
End of over 20 ( 4 Runs )BAN 121/7 19.6Ravindra Jadeja to Mushfiqur Rahim. no run, India win by 45 runs. Dhoni collects a stump as a souvenir as he so often does. The players shake hands. India are off to a winning start in the Asia Cup. Coming to the ball, it was full and fast on off, Rahim drives it to cover and doesn't want to risk taking a single
19.5Ravindra Jadeja to Taskin Ahmed. 1 run, tossed up on off, Taskin comes down the track and slog sweeps it along the ground to deep mid-wicket
19.4Ravindra Jadeja to Taskin Ahmed. no run, flatter and slanted across Taskin, who cuts and misses
19.3Ravindra Jadeja to Taskin Ahmed. no run, round the wicket and quicker, Taskin kneels down and goes full-throttle on the slog sweep, only to be hit on the body
19.3Ravindra Jadeja to Taskin Ahmed. wide, once again Jadeja pushes it through down leg, Taskin lets it pass this time, another run added to the total

19.1Ravindra Jadeja to Mushfiqur Rahim. Pandya and Nehra all gave away 23 runs in their 4 overs... Last over and Jaddu to bowl...
End of over 19 ( 9 Runs )BAN 117/7 18.6Jasprit Bumrah to Taskin Ahmed. SIX, at last one off the middle and one out of the ground. A full toss from Bumrah, Taskin takes his front leg out of the way, gives himself a free swing of the bat and sends it over the long-on fence
18.5Jasprit Bumrah to Taskin Ahmed. no run, angled across the left-hander, Taskin tries to send it into orbit, gives it his all but fails to connect
18.4Jasprit Bumrah to Taskin Ahmed. 2 runs, was that the slower one? Taskin had all the time to stoop low, went down on one knee to play the slog sweep, mistimes it over mid-on and collects a brace before Raina hunts the ball down
18.3Jasprit Bumrah to Taskin Ahmed. no run, where was Taskin going? Rahim stayed put at the non-striker's end. Full toss on off, Taskin wrists it to mid-on and sets off, but is sent back in time
