Desk News: Tanzim Hasan made the crucial breakthrough for the Liton Das-led side as Waseem failed to manage a short-pitched delivery. 

However, Rahul Chopra (35 off 22) and  Asif Khan (42 off 21) threatened to snatch the game away from Bangladesh. 

But Rahul’s wicket, who became Tanzim’s second victim, triggered a collapse. Bangladesh bowlers bossed the last phase of the game to take the 1-0 lead. 

All five bowlers of Bangladesh were among the wickets, with Hasan Mahmud taking three. Mustafizur Rahman 2-17, while Tanzim Hasan took 2-22. Mahedi, who spent 55 runs in his four overs, also grabbed two wickets. 

The second and final match of the series is at the same venue on Monday.
