Bangladesh, though, will rue the missed chances. Gambhir was dropped by Farhad Reza on 56 and Raina by Mahmudullah. On both occasions, Mashrafe Mortaza was the unlucky bowler © AFP
India celebrated an early strike, sending back the opener Nazimuddin for 6. The debutant Pragyan Ojha also claimed his first ODI catch © AFP

Yuvraj Singh chipped in with a run-a-ball 36 and along with Raina took India to a seven-wicket win, with 40 balls to spare © AFP |
