India face an unpredictable Bangladesh in the second match of the Nidahas Trophy Twenty20 tri-series in Colombo on Thursday. The Rohit Sharma-led team were humbled by hosts Sri Lanka by 5 wickets in the first match on Tuesday. With the win, Sri Lanka halted India's seven-match winning streak against the island nation in T20Is. India were favourites coming into the series but the shock loss to the hosts has opened up the series. India, defending a competitive 174 for five, were let down by the bowling department as Kusal Perera, who scored 66 off 37 balls, did not spare the bowlers and hit boundaries at will. Yuzvendra Chahal, the only frontline spinner in the team was also not spared. (SCORECARD)
Captain Rohit, however, backed the young guns to deliver against Bangladesh. "Our bowlers tried everything they could, but sometimes it doesn't come off the way you want it to. I felt we have enough experience in our bowling line-ups. Yes, they are new on the scene, but they've put in performances. I had a lot of confidence going into the game," Rohit said.

India back on track after a mini setback in the tournament opener and with that, they continue to dominate Bangladesh as they make it 6-0 in T20Is. Was as comfortable a game as they could have hoped for. First did the job with the ball by restricting Bangladesh to 139, with Jaydev Unadkat leading the charge with a 3 fer, and now, have cruised through the chase courtesy a superb Shikhar Dhawan fifty. His and Suresh Raina's stand of 68 runs more or less sealed the deal, with Manish Pandey then adding the finishing touches like he usually does. Plenty to ponder for the Tigers, time to rejoice for the Indians.

And there's the game! INDIA WIN BY 6 WICKETS! Comfortable victory for the Men in Blue. Manish Pandey hits this towards the man at cover and calls his partner through to complete a well-deserved victory.

Length ball outside the line of off stump, cut away towards the covers, where a half-stop from the fielder lets the batsmen take a single.

Just back of a length, slightly cramped for room but it doesn't matter to Pandey who punches it down the ground for a single.
Rubel Hossain is back on.

Mustafizur Rahman to Manish Pandey
FOUR! Shouldn't be bowling there to Pandey. He has width, so he uses it well and cuts it fiercely through cover-point for a boundary.

Mustafizur Rahman to Manish Pandey
Angling in sharply, Pandey picks it off his pads and works it 'round the corner, but finds the man positioned there.

Bit of width offered outside off, cut down to third man by Dinesh Karthik for a run.
