India skipper Rohit Sharma on the eve of the first T20I had suggested that they wanted to defend totals to cover that loophole but not at the cost of losing a game. On Sunday, after losing the toss to Mahmadullah Riyad, he had no choice but to bat against Bangladesh and even failed to defend the 148 runs that his team posted.
Before the game Mahmadullah's men had to tackle Delhi's hazardous pollution and the controversy about Shakib Al Hasan's ban but the experience of Soumya Sarkar, wicket-keeper batsman Mushfiqur Rahim and the skipper himself helped them get the job done with seven wickets and three balls to spare.
