Mushfiqur Rahim’s perfectly paced, unbeaten 60 guided Bangladesh to a seven-wicket win over India, their first again▨st the Men in Blue in nine attempts.
Mushfiqur’s late charge against Khaleel Ahmed completely changed the game in Delhi. The Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batsman smacked Khaleel for four consecutive boundaries in the penultimate over and made the last over look-like a formality.
Earlier, India was restrꦏicted to 148 for six after being asked to bat in the first T20I at the Arun Jaitley stadium by Bangladesh skipper Mahmudullah.
The visiting team’s bowlers used the conditions superbly to keep Rohit Sharma & Co. in check. The captain himself flopped with the bat, scoring just nine runs.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to Bangladesh’s win over India:

Another defeat batting first. I think India tend to be too conservative 𝔍upfront, something they cannot afford to be in a run c𒊎hase.

Excellent chase by . At one stage looked like they were being choked by India’s bowlers, but Mushfiqur’s experience and class came thru. Big win in shadow of Sakib controversy. India below par inಌ batting, bowing and fielding today🅰.

First T20I win for Bangladesh without Shakib and Tamim in the playing XI. Lost the p♛revious three without them!
