India once again came up with a complete all- round show to outclass Bangladesh by 7 wickets in a Super 4 Asia Cup encounter in Dubai on hot humid day.
All rounder Ravindra Jadeja getting an opportunity in absence of injured Hardik Pandya grabbed his chances to take an impressive 4/ 29 . Well supported by seamers Bhuvneshwar Kumar (3/32) and Jasprit Bumrah (3/37). Bangladesh were bowled out for 173. The tigers managed to reach that far thanks to a fighting partnership of 66 runs for the eight wicket between Mehidy Hasan Miraz (42 off 50) and captain Mashrafe Mortaza (26 off 32) before the team was all out in 49.1 overs.
India in reply was never in trouble , Shikhar Dhawan in sublime form got going again coring (40 off 47) and provided a solid start with a 61-run stand with skipper Rohit Sharma . Rohit on the other hand was at his brilloiant best again hammering stroke- filled unbeaten 83 off 104 balls. Mahendra Singh Dhoni too chipped in with 33 off 37 balls. But the total was too less to test the Indian batting line- up on slow surfaces. India romped home comfortably.
