Mirpur: Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza chose not to be harsh on senior player Shakib Al Hasan, who dropped Rohit Sharma's catch which proved costly in the final context of the Asia Cup opener as the hosts lost to India by a comprehensive margin of 45 runs.

Rohit was batting on 21 when Shakib dropped a straight forward chance at point off Taskin Ahmed's bowling. The Indian then took the game away with 83 off 55 balls.
