Both Rahul ahd Shreyas had failed to put up a show against the Bangla Tigers in the first game as the former could only manage to contribute 15 runs while the latter chipped in with 22 runs as India posted a moderate 148/6 in the 20 overs. In return, Mushfiqur Rahim's unbeaten 60 guided the visitors home with three balls to spare.
It was also the maiden victory for Bangladesh over the Men in Blue in the shortest format of the game.
