Virender Sehwag hastened the destination for a disoriented Bangladesh team, leaving India to chase 168 for a win in the second match of the Asia Cup 2010 at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium in Sri Lanka.

Bangladesh struggled after the initial start when they were eighty-one for one in the fourteenth over. That is when disaster struck as Mohammad Ashraful was dismissed. The mini collapse saw Bangladesh's top scorer of the match, Imrul Kayes, become Ashish Nehra's second victim while Harbhajan Singh completed the score on four down for 100 when he bowled the Bangladesh captain, Shakib Al Hasan, in the seventeenth over.
Thereafter, apart from a brief resistance from Mahmudullah, Bangladesh were merely a job waiting to be completed. Virender Sehwag helped matters along by picking up four of the last five wickets to fall. Sehwag's figures read an impressive 2.5 overs bowled, six runs conceded, four wickets taken as Bangladesh crashed for 167 in only 34.5 overs, enough time for India to begin chipping away at the runs, both openers going steady.
