He along with KL Rahul, added 180 runs for the opening partnership, their best of the tournament.

Kohli (26), Pant (48) and Dhoni (35), helped India to score a total above 300 on board. Although at one time India looked like scoring anything above 375 in the innings. Mustafizur restricted India to 314 in 50 overs as he took 5 Indian wickets in his ten overs quota.

Bangladesh in reply had a solid start, as their openers added 39 runs in 9 overs before Shami rattled Tamim’s defense and the ball crashed into the wickets. To chase down a target of more than 300, Bangladesh required one great partnership in the middle, but the batsmen with only chipped with low scores and small partnership.

After losing their best batsman Shakib in the 34th over at the score 179, the fans thought it was all over but Sabbir Rahman and Mohammad Saifuddin added 66 runs in 10 overs brought back the hope of winning the match.
