India have won easily here, yet again, keeping the winning habit
Although Bangladesh played much better this time around they still
could not trouble India
Even a second string Indian side, missing many of its senior
players, was just too good for Bangladesh

India have won easily by four wickets with more than seven overs to
spare

Virender Sehwag's debut as captain results in a win
We'll have to wait and see who the Man of the Match is, should be
Gautam Gambhir or perhaps Ajit Agarkar
And the Man of the Match award has been given to Gautam Gambhir for
his innings of 71
We thoroughly enjoyed bringing this game to you, we hope you had
fun!
Till the next game, it's a very good evening to you all from the
Wisden CricInfo teams!
