Chasing a daunting 233-run deficit, openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma ignited a spectacular innings, reaching fifty runs in just the third over.
While Rohit fell to Mehidy Hasan Miraz in the fourth, Jaiswal continued the assault, supported by Shubman Gill.
Their 72-run partnership ended after the Tea break, with both Gill and Rohit dismissed cheaply by Shakib Al Hasan. As Virat Kohli stepped in, a pivotal moment unfolded involving a missed run-out opportunity.
The first ball of the 18th over was a no-ball, which Rishabh Pant nudged for a single. On the next delivery, Kohli attempted a drive but inside-edged the ball onto his pads and set off for a run.
Pant, who had called for the single, tried to stop Kohli as the bowler, Khaled, chased the ball. Khaled, however, missed a straightforward direct hit, allowing Kohli to escape.
