5:57 PM IST The Presentation ceremony...

5:56 PM IST Earlier in the game, India was inserted to bat first. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who were due for runs, provided a very steady and solid opening stand as both got off the blocks pretty early and negotiated the Powerplay overs playing good strokes. Virat Kohli played some colossal hits and settled well. Rohit Sharma struck a couple of sixes but couldn't extend his innings and perished on 23 off just 11. Virat Kohli then got out on 37 and Suryakumar Yadav too followed without wreaking any damage. But those quick wickets didn't bother Rishabh Pant at all who continued with his magnificent form and inflated the scoring rate without breaking a sweat. But it was Hardik who stayed till the end with a quickfire cameo half-century helping India to mount 196 on the board. Into the chase, Bangladesh got a good start but they failed to capitalise in the mid-overs and kept losing wickets. Najmul Hossain Shanto kept fighting but in the end, the Indian bowlers totally got on top and didn't give any respite to them.
