That's It! KL Rahul finishes things off in style. India end the chase in the 47th over. It seemed like things were comfortable in the end but for a long time in the middle overs, it looked an uphill task. The pitch got slower and it was Bangladesh's poor fielding paired up with the small target on the board, which helped India. They will have to be careful if they lose the toss in the next game. Shubman Gill has been phenomenal and India starts their campaign comfortably with a victory.

Hundred! Shubman Gill is back to his best. Started his innings positively and never allowed the control to drift away from his hands. Punched up big shots with his strike rotation and comfortably played a main role in the chase. He also brought up his century in just 125 deliveries. This is his 8th ODI century.

After a phase of struggle, India have negotiated the situation well with KL Rahul and Shubman Gill out on the crease. KL Rahul gave an opportunity early in the innings but Jaker Ali dropped it. The duo didn't look back after that. Accumulated singles and doubles with occasional boundaries. Things are well in control for India now.

Out! The chase is getting tougher for India now. They will be relying on Shubman Gill on one end to take them over the finishing line. This time it was floater Axar Patel who got dismissed by Rishad Hossain. It was a google which Axar didn't pick and he went for the big shot, the ball skied and the bowler himself settled under it for the catch. Axar c and b Rishad Hossain 8(12).

Out! Big wicket for Bangladesh and they will still hope. Shreyas Iyer falls while trying to go for consecutive boundaries. Tries to hit one over mid off but Mustafizur Rahman uses the change of pace well which grips. The miscued shot lands comfortably in the hands of mid off fielder. India are still ahead but they will have to be cautious from here. Shreyas Iyer c Shanto b Mustafizur 15(17).

Fifty! Shubman Gill is playing a crucial knock for India here. He has controlled the innings so far and is looking determined to bat till the end for his team and take them over the winning line. He brings up his half-century but he knows that the pitch is slowing down and he will have to be around for India to be comfortable in the chase.

Out! After a short phase of struggle, Virat Kohli departs. He was not in rhythm against spin and the pitch was slowing down too. Tries to cut one from the backfoot but ends up playing straight to the hands of point. Kohli c Soumya Sarkar b Rishad Hossain 22(38).

India's scoring rate has slowed down to some extent after Rohit Sharma's dismissal and after spinners were introduced. Shubman Gill has been the aggressor while Virat Kohli is taking his time and providing him with support. India are well ahead here and it is Bangladesh who will need to force things.

Out! Rohit Sharma tries to continue his aggressive strokeplay in the powerplay and falls to Taskin Ahmed. Charges at the bowler once again, miscues the shot and Rishad Hossain settles under it to take a very good catch. Bangladesh finally get their first wicket, but it might be too late. Shubman Gill has looked really good so far. Rohit c Rishad Hossain b Taskin Ahmed 41(36).

A solid start from India. They were a little passive and cautious in the first three overs, but then Rohit Sharma started to charge and Shubman Gill was already in good form. Some runs have come quickly in favour of India and now Bangladesh is clearly under a lot of pressure.
