Over 15.4 | Score 119/1 (Tamim 57*, Litton 7*)

Soumya Sarkar run out 54 (40b)

Over 12 | Score 93/0 (Tamim 43*, Soumya 47*)

These two continue to punish the Indian bowlers. While Tamim is bringing all his experience into play, Soumya has played some superb strokes all across the ground with his fearless approach.

Over 8 | Score 66/0 (Tamim 30*, Soumya 33*)

The Bangladeshi openers changed gears in the sixth over of the innings. Tamim Iqbal, who had a slow start till that over, smashed Umesh Yadav for three boundaries and a six in the sixth over of the innings. Soumya followed it with two boundaries each in the 7th and the 8th over. The intention has been very positive from these two and they are trying their best to send India on the backfoot with their aggressive approach.

Over 5 | Score 27/0 (Tamim 10*, Soumya 15*)

Both Bhuvan and Umesh have bowled with a disciplined line and length so far. Soumya has already scored two boundaries so far. Tamim is taking his time to settle down, but it's extremely important from Bangladesh's perspective that he finds his rhythm. Bangladesh's success over the years in limited-overs cricket has depended a lot on how Tamim has shaped his innings. The local crowd is cheering for each and every run scored by their team.

Over 1 | Score 5/0 (Tamim 4*, Soumya 1*)

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to bowl the first over. Tamim Iqbal and Soumya Sarakar will open the innings for the hosts. Good first over from Bhuvan, just five from the first over. He got some good swing from the wicket as well, positive signs for India.

TOSS: Mashrafe Mortaza won the toss and he has decided to bat first

After the rain-marred one-off Test, the cricket fans would be hoping to see their favourite stars in action in the three-match ODI series.

MS Dhoni, along with several others limited-overs specialists – Ravindra Jadeja, Suresh Raina have joined the Indian team for the ODI series. There has been a lot of speculation as to how Dhoni will play in coloured jersey now that he has retired from Tests.

India are a batting powerhouse with players like Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma - all having a good record on sub-continent tracks.

Bangladesh, on the other hand have been a much improved side and they continue to excel. In Taskin Ahmed and Rubel Hossain, they have two of the most impressive pacers Bangladesh have produced in recent times.

In the batting department, a lot will depend on Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib al Hasan and Soumya Sarkar, the youngster who showed a lot of promise in the ICC World Cup 2015.
