FOUR! Anamul gets off the mark in authoritative fashion, punches a length delivery outside off through covers for a boundary.
Here are the playing XIs:
India: RG Sharma, S Dhawan, SK Raina, Yuvraj Singh, V Kohli, MS Dhoni*†, R Ashwin, RA Jadeja, A Mishra, B Kumar, Mohammed Shami.
Bangladesh: Tamim Iqbal, Anamul Haque, Shamsur Rahman, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim*†, Nasir Hossain, Mahmudullah, Ziaur Rahman, Sohag Gazi, Mashrafe Mortaza, Al-Amin Hossain.
FOUR! After a dot ball, Anamul plays a sublime leg flick to make it three boundaries in the over. Bhuvneshwar Kumar's first over costs 13 runs. This is a positive start from Bangladesh.
Ravichandran Ashwin will bowl from the other end.
The Bangladesh batsmen have taken a rather cautious approach against the spin of Ashwin as only two runs are scored off the second over.
Oh boy! Dhawan misses a simple run out. Anamul pushes it to mid on, he sets off but then stops, Tamim has taken off and is nearly half way down. He is sent back, Dhawan rushes in, is very close to the stumps, dives and misses his shy. How can he miss it ? He was inches away from the stumps at the non-striker's end. Tamim had given up!
FOUR! Another thumping shot from Anamul. Stands tall and punches a good length delivery outside off through covers for a boundary.
An eventful third over comes to an end. 5 runs off it. An over in which India could have had the wicket of Tamim Iqbal but for Dhawan's simple run out miss.
OUT! The missed run out doesn't cost much as Tamim Iqbal edges one to first slip, Raina pouches a brilliant low catch. Ashwin draws first blood removing the dangerous Tamim. It was a tad full and spinning away, Tamim pushed at it and got an outside edge.
Tamim Iqbal c Raina b Ashwin 6 (10b 1x4 0x6)
Samshur Rahman is the new batsman.
OUT! A golden duck for Rahman, He goes for the slog sweep and hands it straight into the hands of Rohit Sharma at deep square leg. Not clever cricket at all. Ashwin is on a hat-trick now. Shamsur Rahman c Sharma b Ashwin 0 (1b 0x4 0x6)
Shakib Al Hasan is the new batsman.
OUT! Not the delivery you want to get out to! High full toss outside off, Sharma is a bit surprised, he looks to slash but ends up mistiming it straight to point. He would have loved to finish off the match and hence is disappointed. Nonetheless, a job well done. RG Sharma c Nasir Hossain b Mashrafe Mortaza 56 (60m 44b 5x4 1x6)
As expected, skipper MS Dhoni strides out to the middle.
FOUR! Dhoni gets his first boundary. Muscles this one over mid off for a one bounce boundary. Getting some batting practice ahead of some important games.
SIX! The Indian skipper enjoyed that one. Hammers a good length delivery outside off over deep mid-wicket for a flat maximum. He walks over to Kohli with a bright smile.
10 runs off the over. India need 10 off 18 now.
They are doing it in singles now. 4 runs off the Mortaza over. India need 6 from 12 balls.
Dhoni finishes it off in style! India beat Bangladesh by 8 wickets! Full outside off, Dhoni just smashes it straight back over the bowler's head for a thumping maximum.
India have qualified for the semi-finals of the World T20. Ravichandran Ashwin is named the Man of the Match!
