Sent to bat first, India were in a some trouble losing both openers within six overs, but Rahul’s 35-ball 52 steadied the innings at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium on Sunday. Iyer then reached his fifty off 27 and lengthened the innings to 62 before being out after six more balls. After losing wickets in quick succession again as Soumya Sarkar took Iyer and Rishabh Pant in the 17th over, Manish Pandey helped India post 174 for five with a quickfire 22. Shafiul Islam gave Bangladesh quick breaks by sending back openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan. India would have to do without Iyer had Aminul Islam not dropped a sitting catch when the batsman came in the sixth over.
