Skipper Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan scored brisk half-centuries as Bangladesh posted a competitive 9-272 off 50 overs in the first one-day cricket international against India on Sunday.
Rahim hit three fours and as many sixes in his 63-ball 59 and Shakib scored 52 off 58 balls after Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium in Dhaka.
India, fielding a young side and without eight of their regular players, dominated with the ball initially but Bangladesh regrouped and made up for the slow start towards the end.
Paceman Umesh Yadav picked 3-48 including the wicket of opener Anamul Haque for 44 which contained seven hits to the boundary.
Off-spinner Parvez Rasool, making his ODI debut, grabbed two wickets while giving away 60 runs.
