Asia Cup 2018: Jadeja's four keep Bangladesh down to 173

Ravindra Jadeja four-wicket helped India restrict Bangladesh to 173 in 49.1 overs in the Super Four, Match 1 atDubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai on Friday.

India's all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who was added in the squad at the place of injured Hardik Pandya, proved to be the most economical bowler for team India.

He took crucial wickets of Mosaddek Hossain, Mohammad Mithun, Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasanto thrash the batting order.

Pacemen Bhuvneshwar Kumar (3-32) and Jasprit Bumrah (3-37) were also ruthless as Bangladeshi batting couldn't get going with tail-ender Mehidy Hasan top-scoring with a 50-ball 42 with two sixes and two boundaries.

Bangladesh, who were bowled out for a mere 119 against Afghanistan on Thursday, were once again off to a disastrous start during which they lost half the side for just 65 runs.

Mushfiqur Rahman, who scored a brilliant hundred against Sri Lanka, managed 21 while star batsman Shakib Al Hasan failed yet again with 17.

It could have been worse had Mehidy not put on a fighting 66-run partnership for the eighth wicket with Mashrafe Mortaza who made 26 with two sixes.
