All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja shone brightly for team India as the Men in Blue defeated Bangladesh by seven wickets in the Super Four, Match 1 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai on Friday.
India's skipper Rohit Sharma's unbeaten 83 inspire the team towards victory in 36.2 overs for the loss of three wickets.
Jadeja's four-wicket haul helped India to restrict Bangladesh to an achievable score in 49.1 overs.
He took crucial wickets of Mosaddek Hossain, Mohammad Mithun, Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan to wreck Bangladesh's batting order.
Veteran pacer 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.
