IND vs BAN Match Highlights
What a day it has been for Team India in the business as they seal another crucial win in the T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8. After being put to bat first by Bangladesh, Rohit Sharma and his boys notched up 196 runs in the first innings at the loss of 5 wickets.
India rode on the back of strong performances from all-rounder Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant and Shivam Dube after a couple of handy knocks from the openers.
Skipper Rohit Sharma (23 off 11) provided a quick start, though, he couldn’t convert his start into big innings. Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant paired for the second wicket and added 32 runs before Kohli fell after a well-made 37 runs off 28 deliveries.
Tanzim Hasan Shakib removed Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav in the same over in a span of 3 deliveries to bring Bangladesh back into the contest. Rishabh Pant and Shivam Dube continued following the two quick wickets and added another 23 runs before Pant fell.
The innings was then carried forward by Shivam Dube and all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who gave a strong finishing touch to the innings. While Dube scored 34 runs off 24 deliveries, Hardik remained unbeaten at 50 runs in 27 deliveries as he aided Team India to post a massive 196 runs in 20 overs.
Bangladesh needed a strong start to counter India’s big total at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua, which they got to some extent. The openers added 35 runs before the fall of the first wicket in 4.3 overs. Following a decent opening punch, Bangladesh kept slipping with wickets consistently.
Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto remained the sole player who played a good 40-run knock, but his sole performance was not enough to take Bangladesh over the rope against Team India.
Indian bowlers kept dealing in wickets and eventually restricted Bangladesh to a score of 146 runs in 20 overs. Mystery spinner Kuldeep Yadav scalped three wickets, while Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh got two apiece in their bags and Hardik Pandya got one for himself too.
At the end of the 20 overs, Bangladesh fell 50 runs short of the 196-run target set by India and lost the fixture.
The Men in Blue with two wins on the trot in the Super 8 has put its one foot on the semi-finals. Unless something goes drastically wrong for the team, no one can come between India and its semi-final berth.
