Pacer Shami returned to an ICC tournament with a five-wicket haul to help his team bowl out Bangladesh for 228. In reply, India completed the chase with 21 balls to spare.

Gill made an unbeaten 101 off 129 balls, and skipper Rohit Sharma blazed away to a characteristic 36-ball 41 while completing 11,000 runs in ODIs. This was Gill's eighth ton in the format.
Earlier, Towhid Hridoy's (100) maiden international century, and his sixth-wicket partnership of 154 runs with Jaker Ali (68), lifted Bangladesh after they slipped to a hopeless 35/5. On the day, Shami also picked up his 200th ODI wicket.

Axar Patel (2/43) would have had a hat-trick if India skipper Rohit had not dropped a regulation catch from the blade of Ali (68 off 114 balls) at first slip. On his way to a century, Towhid was helped by Hardik Pandya who gave him a lifeline on 23.
