Suryakumar Yadav and his team will aim to secure the series victory on Wednesday as India take on Bangladesh in the second T20I. The Men in Blue delivered an impressive performance in the first match, earning a 7-wicket win and taking a 1-0 lead in the series. The hosts handed debut caps to Mayank Yadav and Nitish Kumar Reddy in Gwalior and are likely to give them another opportunity in the New Delhi match.
Bangladesh was limited to a modest total of 127 in the first T20, thanks to three-wicket performances from Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakravarthy. Debutant Mayank Yadav made an impressive start with a maiden over and soon claimed his first international wicket by dismissing Mahmudullah in his following over.
Openers Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma got off to a quick start, but Sharma was run out for 16. Samson then teamed up with Suryakumar Yadav, and the duo put up 71 runs during the PowerPlay before the skipper departed. The chase was finished in style by Hardik Pandya, who blasted an unbeaten 39 off just 16 deliveries, sealing the victory with a six in the 12th over, with 49 balls to spare.
Men in Blue are likely to remain unchanged for the second match, however, Harshit Rana may make his debut, potentially replacing Washington Sundar.
Bangladesh, fielding a squad similar to their World Cup lineup earlier this year, boasts experience but has struggled to find their rhythm in the first match. Their batting remains a key weakness, and it came as no surprise when they faltered against India’s well-executed bowling performance.
