Bangladesh, who won the toss and batted first, posted a very impressive score of 307, their highest against India in ODIs. In response India only managed to score 228 in 46 overs.
The rapid 102-run opening stand between Tamim Iqbal and Soumya Sarkar was instrumental in Bangladesh's 307 score.But the star of the match was nineteen year-old Mustafizur Rahman, who stumped India with his assortment of cutters. He is now the second Bangladesh bowler after Taskin Ahmed to claim a five-wicket haul on debut.
Rohit Sharma was the only Indian batsman to put up some resistance as he scored 63 in 100 balls.
The 79-run victory means Bangladesh needed to win only one out of their next five ODIs to cement their spot in the 2017 Champions Trophy, which will be contested by the top eight ranked ODI sides as of September 30, 2015.
