Chasing 143, Bangladesh lost both openers Shakib Al Hasan and Mohammad Naim in successive overs of the power-play but Soumya Sarkar and Litton Das (44)came to the rescue. (Image: AP)

Despite an early exit of Mushfiqur Rahim, it seemed that Das and skipper Mahmudullah seal the game for the Bangladeshis. However some disciplined depth over bowling and the dismissal of Das with just an over to spare turned the tables. (Image: AP)
