B Kumar to L Das, A bit of miscommunication but no harm done! Length ball outside off, tapped towards Jadeja at backward point. Liton takes off and stops a bit but then decides to get going. Ravindra has a shy at the striker's end but misses. Didn't look that dangerous but the replay shows that had that hit, Mehidy was a goner. A reprieve for him.

J Bumrah to M Hasan, FOUR! Edged but safe! Mehidy would have had his heart in his mouth. A length ball on the fifth stump channel, seaming away.

This is only the third boundary for the Bangladesh openers in the tournament in Powerplay 1.

B Kumar to L Das, DROPPED! That was a brilliant effort from Karthik though, would have been a stunner had that been taken.

The teams are out for their respective national anthems. After the completion, we are all set to go. Liton Das and Mehidy Hasan will open the batting for Bangladesh. Surprise, surprise! Mehidy was the highest scorer for them in the previous game against India and hence, the decision to give him a shot at the top. Two slips in place. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to steam in with the first new ball. Here we go...
