Shreyas Iyer misses out against Mehidy Hasan Miraz. This was not required at the moment as India were easily cruising along. KL Rahul is the new batter in. IND 178/3 (29.1)

Shubman Gill's wicket has given Bangladesh some hope of clamping down the run-rate with which India is going. Shreyas Iyer is the new batter in.

Half century comes up for Shubman Gill. This is looking like a cakewalk right now for India. Bangladesh need a wicket soon else kiss the game goodbye.

You live by the sword, you die by it! Rohit Sharma departs after failing to clear the boundary at backward square leg. Hasan Mahmud picks up his first wicket. India 103/1 (13)

First powerplay comes to an end as both Indian openers look fairly comfortable on the crease. Mahmud Hasan has been the most potent bowler in this innings so far. 

Indian openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill have begin the chase with some sumptuous shots from the middle of the bat. Bangladesh have brought in spinners early. Nasum Ahmed comes in to bowl. 

However, it's the outstanding fielding, particularly India's remarkable catching, that deserves special mention. The team displayed spot-on catching skills, which contributed significantly to their performance. As they head into the chase at Pune's MCA stadium, India's target stands at 257. 

BAN: 256-8 (50)

India holds the upper hand, thanks to a stellar opening partnership by the Bangladesh batsmen that amassed 93 runs. The combined efforts of Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah on the bowling front proved instrumental in containing the Bangladeshi batters, limiting them to a respectable total of 256.

BAN: 233-7 (47)

Nasum Ahmed departs for 14, Siraj gets his second of the match. Can Bangladesh score 250 from here?

BAN: 205-6 (44)

Super catch by 'Sir Jadeja' at point region, diving to his right. Bumrah bowled a short and wide delivery and Mushfiqur couldn't resist the temptation to cut it. Jadeja dove to his right with both hands outstretched and snatched the ball. Mushfiqur departs after scoring 38 runs.

BAN: 179-5 (37.2)

Just when we said the partnership is getting better, Bangladesh lost their fifth. Gill took an easy catch of Hridoy, wicket for Shardul.  

BAN: 178-4 (37)

Mushfiqur Rahim and Towhid Hridoy have given Bangladesh a good platform to accelerate their innings in the final overs. The duo has stitched a partnersip of 41 runs. 

That is the biggest wicket of the innings - Litton Das holes out to a Shubman Gill standing at long-on as he takes a simple catch. Bangladesh losing wickets quickly. BAN 137/4 (27.4)

KL Rahul's fine catch down the leg side sees the end of Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Big wicket for India in the context of the game. Litton Das, on the other hand, is another big wicket India must be thinking of.

BAN 63/0 (10)

"It's a good pitch, has a history of lot of runs. It's a pitch where the seamers wouldn't mind bowling first up or maybe under lights as well. I don't see a turner. Definition of true pitch - you can bat really well, if you are a quality fast bowler, you get something out of it as well. It's a black soil pitch, there's grass covering which is not green. It'll hold the pitch nicely. High-scoring pitch for sure. I'll use the bouncer very regularly on this pitch. You can plays shots on the up. If anyone will get turn, it's Kuldeep Yadav," Sanjay Manjrekar and Irfan Pathan reckon.

"Proud moment for me and my family. We'd like to bat today. Looks a fresh wicket. If we put some good score, it'll be good for the team. He (Shakib) is struggling a bit, Nasum is coming in for him. We have some great memories against India, hopefully we continue our form. I hope it'll be a great match. We love to see the crowd, hopefully they'll support both teams. Hasan comes in for Taskin," Najmul Hossain Shanto said at the toss.

" I would have bowled first. It's working at this point of time, don't see any reason to change it. That's important in this WC, keeping everybody in good space. The boys are in good shape, good mental space as well and enjoying the cricket. So far so good, we want to continue this momentum, Same team," Rohit Sharma at the toss.

Bangladesh have won the toss and elected to bat first against India at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune. 

No Shakib Al Hasan for Bangladesh today. Najmul Hossain Shanto is donning captain's hat for Bangla Tigers.

India probable 11: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya (vc), Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.

Mohammed Shami's inclusion in the last 12 by the Indian team raises the possibility that he might feature in the Playing 11. We are not that far away from toss to be certain.
