The openers added 180 runs for the first wicket before Bangladesh led by Mustafizur Rahman staged an outstanding comeback with a five-wicket haul. The Tigers staged a brilliant chase with Shakib Al Hasan leading the troops before Mohammad Saifuddin took over the reins. But an outstanding spell from Jasprit Bumrah sealed India’s berth in the top-four.
