Halfway into their batting stint against India, Bangladesh were progressing towards their fourth defeat in as many outings.

In the last league game of the tri-series, India, having put Bangladesh in to bat, reduced the hosts to 96 for five in 25 overs. Skipper Shakib Al Hasan (25 not out) was joined by Mahmudullah (0 not out) after the top order surrendered meekly.
