Young opener Abhishek Sharma was the standout performer, smashing 75 runs off just 37 balls with 6 fours and 5 sixes. Hardik Pandya added a valuable 38 (29 balls). However, skipper Suryakumar Yadav (5), Shivam Dube (2), and Tilak Varma (5) fell cheaply.
For Bangladesh, Rishad Hossain impressed with 2 wickets for 27 runs in 3 overs, while Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Mustafizur Rahman, and Mohammad Saifuddin claimed one wicket each.
