Bangladesh were shredded to pieces in the first 10 overs of the match after captain Najmul Hossain Shanto won the toss in Dubai and opted to bat first. Bangladesh lost as many as five wickets in the first nine overs and were reeling at 35/5. It would've been six wickets and a hat-trick for Axar Patel in the ninth over had it not been Rohit Sharma dropping an absolute sitter off Jaker Ali.  (AFP)
