Power-Play (starting 6 overs): That’s why Atishi Power did not show up!
Bangladeshi captain Mahmudullah’s decision to bowl first looked good at least in the power-play. The ball was coming to a halt, the bat was moving first. In between, the ball was coming up a little bit. Perhaps this was due to light grass on the pitch. Both opener Dhawan and Rohit landed on the field after a brief break in international cricket, so obviously it took some time to adjust. However, Rohit hit two fours in the first over of Shafiful, but his innings ended in the first over. If one wicket fell, Dhawan came a little past his feet. Their naturalness was missing on the home ground itself! It is all due to that after the first six overs, India’s score was 35 for 1 wicket. At this time Dhawan was on 11 and KL Rahul was on 15 runs.
Wicket Fall: 10-1 (Rohit, 0.6), 36-2 (Rahul, 6.3), 70-3 (Shreyas, 10.2), 95-4 (Dhawan, 14.5), 102-5 (Shivam, 15.6), 120- 6 (Rishabh, 18.2)

Pitch Report: This pitch of Arun Jaitley Stadium looks very strict. There are no cracks anywhere in the pitch, nor is there dryness in this pitch. However, a little grass is definitely visible. In such a situation, the ball will come well on the bat right from the beginning. The spinners do not expect much help from the pitch. At the same time, Bangladeshi captain Mahmudullah said that help is being seen on the wicket. And he wants to restrict India to the least score. That is why he decided to bowl first. We told the pitch report. Now look at the final XI of both countries as well: –
Bangladesh: Mahmudullah (captain), Linton Das, Soumya Sarkar, Mohammad Naeem, Mushfiqur Rahim (wicketkeeper), Afif Hussain, Mosadek Hussain, Aminul Islam, Shafiful Islam, Mustafzur Rahman and Al-Amin Hussain
