Bangladesh skipper Jahanara Alam won the toss and asked hosts India to bat first in the Women's World T20 2016 opener

Vanitha Vellaswamy also got into the act as the Indian opening pair brought up a half-century stand in quick time.

Mithali Raj, the skipper of India Women's team, got off to a positive start.

Nahida Akter ended the stand by dismissing Vellaswamy Vanitha, while Smriti Mandhana followed soon after.

Harmanpreet Kaur took over after Mithali Raj's dismissal, dealing in regular big hits.

Useful knocks from Harmanpreet Kaur and Veda Krishnamurthy helped India post 163/5, their highest total in T20Is.

The Indian bowlers kept it tight, not giving Bangladesh women too many scoring opportunities.

Sharmin Akter tried to hold the innings together.

A slow start and regular wickets hurt Bangladesh in the chase.
