India in desperate need of a wicket gave the ball to the part-timer Kedar Jadhav and the man with the golden arm took the wicket of Mehidy Hasan and broke a threatening partnership. Chahal followed the breakthrough provided by Jadhav with the wicket of Imrul Kayes.
Jadhav, who was not yet done with the one wicket, also sent back Bangladesh's highest run scorer of the tournament, Mushfiqur Rahim. Just when Bangladesh were looking to build another partnership, a brilliant stop from Ravindra Jadeja created confusion between the batsmen and the Mohammad Mithun had to sacrifice his wicket to save Liton Das who was ball watching.
With India pulling things back, Kuldeep Yadav too joined the party and sent back dangerous Mahmadullah. Even after Liton Das maiden century, Bangladesh have been in deep trouble as they reduced from 120-0 in 21 overs to 160-5 in 35 overs.
