A look at India and Bangladesh’s respective last matches in the Asia Cup:

Rohit Sharma and Co. will enter the contest on the back of a 41-run victory over Sri Lanka on Tuesday, September 12.

Batting first, Rohit (53 off 48) and his opening partner Shubman Gill (19 off 25) provided a promising start to Team India. The duo shared an 80-run partnership for the first wicket. Left-arm spinner Dunith Wellalage then spun a web for the Indian players. He dismissed Rohit and Gill before sending back Virat Kohli (3 off 12) cheaply.

KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan then stitched together a 63-run partnership for the fourth wicket. Wellalage broke the stand by dismissing Rahul caught and bowled. His spin partner Charith Asalanka then joined the party as India lost the next five wickets for just 32 runs. Axar Patel (26 off 36) and Mohammed Siraj (5* off 19) helped the visitors reach 200-run mark.

Wellalage and Asalanka ended up with career-best figures of 5/40 and 4/18, respectively.

Just when Sadeera Samarawickrama (17 off 31) and Charith Asalanka (22 off 35) started to pull the hosts back into the game, Kuldeep Yadav took two quick wickets to reduce the hosts to 73/5. KL Rahul provided a lightning-fast stumping to dismiss Samarawickrama before taking the catch of Asalanka.

Ravindra Jadeja also joined the party by sending Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka (9 off 13) back into the den, thanks to a sharp catch from Rohit at slips.

Wellalage (42* off 46) and Dhanajay de Silva (41 off 66) then stitched together a 63-run partnership for the seventh wicket to keep the Islanders' hopes alive in the game.

Jadeja broke the crucial partnership as Silva played it straight into the hands of Shubman Gill at long-off.

Wellalage eventually ran out of his partners as Hardik Pandya dismissed Maheesh Theekshana before Kuldeep Yadav ended the tail. Sri Lanka were bundled out for 172, losing the game by 41 runs.
