Nasum scored an unbeaten 32-ball 31 following the completion of the 44th over to propel Bangladesh to 217 for seven, with Sheikh Mahedi Hasan not out on eight at the other end.
Earlier, Towhid Hridoy brought up his fifth ODI fifty after got dismissed soon after when he tried to take on Mohammad Shami over square leg. The ball was there to be hit and Hridoy managed to get good bat on it but the elevation outweighed distance on that occasion and the ball fell into debutant Tilak Varma's hands at deep square leg.
