Yuzvendra Chahal, later on, removed Bangladesh skipper Mahmudullah (8) in the 17th over and delivered the final blow. Chahal also secured his 50th T20I wicket and he joined fellow bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Ravichandran Ashwin in the list of Indian bowlers for picking up 50 wickets in T20I cricket.

Bangladesh lost the match in the end by 30 runs as they failed to recover from Naim's dismissal in the game.

The right-handed Iyer also smashed to his maiden 50 in the 15th over.

Wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant (6), once again failed to deliver with the bat as Soumya Sarkar removed him and Iyer (62) in the 16th over. 

Manish Pandey came in and played some big shots in the last over to take India's total past the 170-run mark.
