India (221/9) beat Bangladesh (135/9) in the 2nd T20I to seal the series 2-0 with one match remaining in the 3-match T20I series

[Cricket Warrior]

Despite featuring two debutants and several fresh faces, India cruised past Bangladesh in the first T20I in Gwalior, comfortably chasing down 128 in under 12 overs. While India were always the favorites, the match highlighted how far Bangladesh still lag in T20I cricket.

India's performance demonstrated that Suryakumar Yadav and Gautam Gambhir are carrying forward the aggressive approach established by Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid, which helped them win the T20 World Cup earlier this year. Except for Nitish Kumar Reddy (16* off 15 balls), every Indian batter struck at a rate above 150. Furthermore, India has addressed the issue of their batters not contributing with the ball, fielding eight bowling options in the first T20I—something Suryakumar referred to as a "happy headache."

In contrast, Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto conceded that his batters struggle to post 180 in T20Is, as they're accustomed to playing on 140-150 run pitches at home. Overcoming this obstacle will be essential if they hope to keep the series alive.


Squads:

India Squad: Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Nitish Reddy, Hardik Pandya, Riyan Parag, Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar, Varun Chakaravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Mayank Yadav, Jitesh Sharma, Tilak Varma, Ravi Bishnoi, Harshit Rana

Bangladesh Squad: Parvez Hossain Emon, Litton Das(w), Najmul Hossain Shanto(c), Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Jaker Ali, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Mahedi Hasan, Tanzid Hasan, Rakibul Hasan, Tanzim Hasan Sakib

Delhi ground is small. If the wicket is anything like what we saw recently in IPL it will be carnage.

 

[Hellion]

Playing this 9th ranked team with no talent whatsoever is absolutely pointless for India.

In a way it is fine that we can introduce new players in an inconsequential series like this.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD should bowl first if they win the toss.

Need to show a better performance in this game. Last T20 was pathetic.

 

[Mas-LFC]

InshAllah Bangladesh will win this match. Bangladesh won t20 last time they played against India in Delhi, also won odi match in Delhi against Lanka. Delhi could be lucky ground for team BD.

 

[mominsaigol]

Ik that India will win, But I am hoping against hope that Bamgaldesh wins so that these crybabies then cry some more

 

[Mas-LFC]

Yh. Chasing is their best chance. Batters need to step up and perform. Why didn’t they pick Sabbir, Soumya, Mossadekk. These are BD’s best options for t20s. Yes they havent done well last time they played but the truth is these players still have plenty of years left, experienced, and are the right calibre t20 players. Got to persist with them. Only t20s though. In ODI’s maybe not.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Useless captain need to perform with the bat, his timid slow sr kills the momentum. The ever talented Liton Das need to fix up his wild type of tailender shots! Experienced players with very poor mentality. Jees!

 

[FearlessRoar]

[Nikhil_cric]

InshAllah Bangladesh will win this match. Bangladesh won t20 last time they played against India in Delhi, also won odi match in Delhi against Lanka. Delhi could be lucky ground for team BD.

Kohli, Rohit, Bumrah, Kuldeep, Axar - none of them are playing. This team was supposed to be easily beaten by BD no ?

Hopefully , BD will go against their history of being bullied by India and give us a fight in this match

 

[Mas-LFC]

win it for Mahmdullah who is retiring after this series. His best knock has to be that one in the Nidahas trophy semi final against Lanka, under so much pressure. Thats when I thought Bd truly actually turned a corner in t20s in that series they chased 214 against Sri Lanka! But they go one step forward, 10 steps back!

 

[Hellion]

BD will be chasing under heavy dew. No excuses not to beat an India who are an average team without their stars as per posters here

india is the best test and t20 team. top 2 in odi.
but yes we are missing several players. best chance to win is now in t20
also in tests we are in a transition phase. in batting and bowling too. we are going through changes. still very strong.

Why are these players playing their last matches in a tough tour like India? It is never a good idea.

Shakib found it out by scoring a duck and went out losing in his final test which lasted for 2 days.

These Bangladeshi legends should have had their farewell games in Bangladesh.

 

[kron]

apparently shanto had some words to say about speedster mayank.
apparently bdesh have a few bowlers as quick as mayank and he isnt exactly a challange according to him.
interesting

will mayank take this personally and will bdesh feel the wrath of mayank's medium pace?
he is medium pace compared to speedsters of yesteryear pakistani greats here.

 

[kron]

arshdeep potentially got a test call up. as a reserve. he played well in that recent duleep trophy.
maybe he deserves it. i know he isnt rated highly as a test bat but he has good mental strength, can bat and i believe can keep one end tight. if he can do the donkey work he deserves a shot.

 

[kron]

seriously how much is mamdullah age fudging by? must be 45 lmao

Good for Shanto, should put them in his XI, unless he's talking about hypotehtical Atul Sharmas of Dhaka and Sylhet

 

[Vikram1989]

Pr guy departs

 

[sweep_shot]

India - 17/1 (2 overs).

Taskin gets Samson.

 

[Rajdeep]

Except Shashi Tharoor and @Smbhayi , no one finds any talent in Samson.

 

[kron]

sanju kanju career over lolbye bye mallu fans

 

[sweep_shot]

seriously how much is mamdullah age fudging by? must be 45 lmao

LOL.

Age fudging is often done by people in Bangladesh. My cousin reduced his age by 3 years. ROFL.

 

[kron]

Except Shashi Tharoor and @Smbhayi , no one finds any talent in Samson.

sanju kanju is crap in t20
but he did do well in odi last time in SA

 

[sweep_shot]

Top over from Taskin. 2 from it and a wicket too.

 

[kron]

cochin ganju manju gone lmao.

I agree that Sabbir should've been picked.

Not sure about Soumya but this format suits batters like him.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

seriously how much is mamdullah age fudging by? must be 45 lmao

Towhid hridoy doesnt look 23 either

 

[kron]

tanzim is the rapist right? smash him hard abi

 

[sweep_shot]

Tanzim is playing today instead of Shoriful. Good move.

Tanzim is a better T20 bowler. He can bat better too.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Sanju Samson is such an enigma. He has all the talent in the world. But gets out playing a brainless shot.

This was a golden opportunity for him opening against a weak opposition at home to cement his place in the team. But wasted 2 opportunities.

 

[sweep_shot]

tanzim is the rapist right? smash him hard abi

Rapist? No!

You are confusing Tanzim with that Nepalese cricketer probably (Lamichhane).

 

[kron]

gone. not to tanzim abiiii cmon. ah well

 

[Champ_Pal]

Sharma gone on an inside edge. Cleaned up.

 

[mominsaigol]

Lol, So much hype on abhisheikh and sanju and look at this lot.

And where is the mighty jaiswal? Did he take a nap because Bangladesh was not worthy of his highness?

 

[sweep_shot]

Tanzim gets Abhishek.

India - 25/2 (3 overs).

 

[Champ_Pal]

Lets see what Nitish can do.

I have high hopes for him.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh are bowling better today.

 

[Mas-LFC]

147kph to get A Sharma out! from my homie Tanzim who lives in the same district and subdistrict as my origin in BD. Good bowling by the seamers! Tanzim is BD’s best t20 bowler but was left out by the ignorant coach Haturusinghe, unjustly.

 

[kron]

Lol, So much hype on abhisheikh and sanju and look at this lot.

abhi is good. i never rated sanju ganju.

jaiswal is rested.

 

[nish_mate]

And where is the mighty jaiswal? Did he take a nap because Bangladesh was not worthy of his highness?

You dont roll out a nuke to deal with rag tag team of guerillas .....

 

[Rajdeep]

I have a feeling big knock from Soorya Koomar coming up today

 

[kron]

Lets see what Nitish can do.

I have high hopes for him.

want to see him in test side.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Today all Indian batsmen will get a chance to have an outing.

Good opportunity for Nitish, Riyan to showcase their talent.

 

[Devadwal]

If india lost this T20 then lots of poster comes to criticize Indian team and relase their frustration.

 

[mominsaigol]

You dont roll out a nuke to deal with rag tag team of guerillas .....

I think your confusing jaiswal for Travis head an actual Nuke.

All I see is Jaiswal hiding.

 

[sweep_shot]

Taskin is bowling with good pace.

147, 145 etc.

 

[mominsaigol]

abhi is good. i never rated sanju ganju.

jaiswal is rested.

Why? His highness thought the pitch was too dirty?

 

[sweep_shot]

Nitish is injured. SKY's straight drive hit him.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Taskin is bowling with good pace.

147, 145 etc.

They all have upped their pace for today's match.

Playing for pride.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Lot of slow balls from BD

 

[Mas-LFC]

Tanzim has gone lot faster MashAllah. He used to bowl 140kph before but now going over 145kph often!

 

[sweep_shot]

Tanzim has gone lot faster MashAllah. He used to bowl 140kph before but now going over 145kph often!

I don't know why Tanzim didn't play the first game. He is better than Shoriful when it comes to LOI.

 

[nish_mate]

I think your confusing jaiswal for Travis head an actual Nuke.

All I see is Jaiswal hiding.

Not really mate, unless Head's taken Indian nationality in last 48 hours.

You see what your eyes want to see.

But glad we both agree that BD is a rag tag team.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Jaiswal hiding from mighty Banglas

 

[kron]

Why? His highness thought the pitch was too dirty?

australia is the best team
t.head is the best player
starc is the best bowler
cummins is the second bes bowler in all formats

jaiswal is faking an injury. he is intimidated by the side he got destroyed by recently in tests.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD should try to restrict India to 160 or less.

IND - 31/2 (4.3 overs).

 

[Vikram1989]

tanzim is the rapist right? smash him hard abi

Taskin Ahmed I believe

 

[mominsaigol]

Jaiswal hiding from mighty Banglas

I just find it funny how all the jaiswal fans were talking smack and yet here is not even playing

 

[mominsaigol]

Not really mate, unless Head's taken Indian nationality in last 48 hours.

But glad we both agree that BD is a rag tag team.

Who on earth wants an Indian passport?

I've heard of Indians migrating to Australia and seeking pr status mever heard of the opposite happening

 

[Mas-LFC]

Pathetic keeper Liton Das drops a catch!

Tanzim bowling with a lot of venom!

 

[sweep_shot]

Litton drops a catch. That should've been taken.

 

[sweep_shot]

India - 36/2 (5 overs).

Tanzim and Taskin are bowling great. Pacy stuff.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India is targeting 200. Everyone is taking chances

 

[nish_mate]

I just find it funny how all the jaiswal fans were talking smack and yet here is not even playing

I know you have Pakistani heritage my dear chaps but then your Ozzie upbringing must have introduced you to work load management and bench strength testing....Unfortunately India rightly or wrongly believes in both- maybe looking at Ozzies on how to manage their players.

 

[sweep_shot]

Mustafiz is in the attack.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Shanto can't even field lol

 

[Devadwal]

Jaiswal hiding from mighty Banglas

Jaiswal is taking rest but Travis head is playing with amature player's in australia domestic ( Certain poster im sure don't know) right now.

Head is confused as where he can bat as an opener or number 5.

 

[mominsaigol]

I know you have Pakistani heritage my dear chaps but then your Ozzie upbringing must have introduced you to work load management and bench strength testing....Unfortunately India rightly or wrongly believes in both- maybe looking at Ozzies on how to manage their players.

Yes, But aussie players genuinely need work load management and rest.

Jaiswal is a young blood and already he's tired?

 

[Mas-LFC]

Yesssssss!!! SKY GONE!!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ball is holding

 

[nish_mate]

Who on earth wants an Indian passport?

I've heard of Indians migrating to Australia and seeking pr status mever heard of the opposite happening

On the first- unfrotunately a lot of folks from BD- that's why we are never sure if their fans are visiting fans or foreverstaying back chaps.

Then why Head is being mentioned as an Indian nuke in a match between India and BD

 

[Rajdeep]

Shoorya Koomar out...Bangladesh looking charged up today

 

[sweep_shot]

Poor fielding. Gave away 2 extra runs.

 

[Vikram1989]

Pitch seems to be 2 sided.are our openers so blind on hitting mode with out even realising how the pitch is behaving ?.They should have sent message to dressing room about the revises target .

 

[mominsaigol]

Jaiswal is taking rest but Travis head is playing with amature player's in australia domestic ( Certain poster im sure don't know) right now.

Head is confused as where he can bat as an opener or number 5.

Because he prides himself on national duty over taking smooties sitting In the dugout

 

[sweep_shot]

Yesssssss!!! SKY GONE!!

Big wicket.

BD needed this.

India - 41/3.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Probaly 170 wicket.
