Bangladesh's opening batters provided a promising start, forming a solid partnership of 60 runs. However, the team lost two quick wickets. The entry of Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mehidy Hasan into the crease marked a turning point as they embarked on a magnificent partnership, amassing a remarkable 194 runs together. Unfortunately, the partnership was interrupted when Mehidy had to retire hurt due to a hamstring strain. Subsequently, Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim were both run out within a mere 5-over span, introducing two new batters. Captain Shakib Al Hasan took charge to ensure that the team capitalized on their strong start, contributing a rapid-fire 32 off 18 balls.
