Will India script a comeback?

The first T20 at Delhi made headlines for more reasons than one. For starters, the polluted weather reportedly made two Bangladesh players vomit. Other than that, the match also saw Bangladesh defeat India in a T20 International for the first time after being led by Mushfiqur Rahim's valiant batting effort. Both, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul, delivered ordinary performances in the first match as they scored 22 and 15, respectively. India managed 148 in their innings which was chased down by Bangladesh in 19.3 overs. Mushfiqur Rahim scored an unbeaten 60 and took home the Player-of-the-match award.
