    "editor1": "<p>Colombo, March 8 -&nbsp;India produced an all-round show to thump Bangladesh by six wickets in their second match of the Nidahas Trophy Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket tri-series here on Thursday.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIndia restricted Bangladesh to 139\/8 and then chased down the target with six wickets and 1.2 overs to spare to make a strong comeback after the loss to Sri Lanka in the opening match.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nShikhar Dhawan continued his red-hot form with a 55 off 43 deliveries to play the lead role in India&#39;s batting. But the win was mostly set-up by the bowlers Jaydev Unadkat (3\/38), Vijay Shankar (2\/32), Yuzvender Chahal (1\/19) and Shardul Thakur (1\/25).<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nUnlike the first game against Sri Lanka, Indian bowlers were right on the mark from the start after captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>They took wickets at regular intervals and also choked the rival batsmen by not letting them score freely. Bangladesh, on the other hand, tried to increase the scoring rate but at the end, it only resulted in their losing wickets.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBangladesh openers Tamim Iqbal (15) and Soumya Sarkar (14) tried to take benefit of the powerplay but in the third over medium pacer Jaydev Unadkat dismissed Sarkar to make it 20\/1.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAfter adding 15 more runs to the score with new batsmen Liton Das (34), Iqbal was also sent back to the pavilion by pacer Shardul Thakur.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nWith the scoreboard reading 35\/2, wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim (18) arrived at the crease and played some beautiful shots, but his 14-ball knock was cut short by medium pacer Vijay Shankar in the ninth over.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nUntroubled by the fall of wickets, Das continued to play his shots but lack of support from the other end started bothering the batsmen. Skipper Mahmudullah (1) was also dismissed cheaply.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nNow with half of the side back in the dug-out, it all depended on Das, who was playing beautifully by rotating the strike with new batsmen Sabbir Rahman (30).<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBut just when things seemed good in the middle, Das was dismissed by leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal in the 16th over. In his 30-ball inning, Das could only manage to slam three fours.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nNow, with 107 runs on board, the lower-order got exposed and it did not support Rahman from the other end, which resulted in his wicket. In the 19th over, Rahman was sent back by Unadkat.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIn the last over, Taskin Ahmed (8 not out) and Rubel Hossain (0) tried their best to make as many runs as they could but Hossain got run out while trying to steal a second run.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nFor India, Unadkat scalped three wickets while Tamil Nadu all-rounder Shankar, playing in only his second T20I match, took two.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nDuring the chase, India batted around Dhawan, who stroked to his sixth fifty. He shared an important 68-run third-wicket stand with Suresh Raina (28) after the dismissals of Rohit Sharma (17) and Rishabh Pant (7).<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nRohti cut left-arm medium pacer Mustafizur Rahman on to his stumps, while Pant was bowled by fellow medium pacer Rubel Hossain, to leave India at a spot of bother at 47\/2.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBut Dhawan and Raina didn&#39;t look to be under pressure and scored runs at ease by minimising the risk.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nLater, Manish Pandey remained unbeaten at 27 off 19 deliveries to see India home.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBrief scores: Bangladesh: 139\/8 (Liton Das 34, Sabbir Rahman 30; Jaydev Unadkat 3\/38, Vijay Shankar 2\/32) vs India: 140\/4 in 18.4 overs (Shikhar Dhawan 55; Rubel Hossain 2\/24).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
