In what was the principal ever Asia Cup match played over the Twenty20 arrangement, India were gotten out from the get-go by the greenness of the pitch having been put into bat. At one stage they were 42 for 3 and the Bangladesh group was on their feet, detecting a rehash of their side's memorable one-day global arrangement win over India last June. In any case, a fine, measured innings from Sharma steadied the boat, before he and Hardik Pandya let free in the end overs to see India to an aggregate that looked far off at one stage. 

With the force having been seized, India got on top of Bangladesh's batsmen early, leaving a fruitful pursue continually looking impossible.

While both were gone in the last over as Al-Amin Hossain battled back to complete with three wickets, the harm had been finished. 

Also, India instantly got on top of Bangladesh's answer. Seamers Ashish Nehra and Jasprit Bumrah both discovered a lot of ahead of schedule development to heap the weight on Bangladesh openers Soumya Sarkar and Mohammad Mithum and evacuate both in the initial four overs. 

Still, similar to India, Bangladesh could stop the dying, helped by 44 from Sabbir Rahman. Not at all like India, however, Bangladesh couldn't wrench up the run rate when required. At the point when Shakib Al Hasan was run out in the thirteenth over as he slipped attempting to turn back for a nonsensical endeavor to snatch a solitary and their principle trust Sabbir was gone two or three overs later, the amusement gazed upward. 

Two wickets in two balls for Nehra in the seventeenth over viably put a seal on the outcome. For Nehra, a 36-year-old who just came back from five years in the universal wild toward the begin of the year, it was vindication, both for him and the selectors.
