Bangladesh tour of India 2024

In what was a fitting and memorable encounter India dominated Bangladesh in a record-breaking T20I, hammering Bangladesh by 133 runs. India posted a daunting 297/6, their second-highest T20I score ever, powered by a sensational 111 from Sanju Samson and a masterful 75 from Suryakumar Yadav. Bangladesh, in reply, could only muster 164/7, despite a brave half-century from Towhid Hridoy, as India’s bowlers kept the pressure on throughout. India: 297 for 6 (Samson 111, Suryakumar 75, Pandya 47, Tanzim 3-66) Bangladesh: 164 for 7 (Hridoy 63, Litton 42, Bishnoi 3-30, Mayank 2-32) India beat Bangladesh by 133 runs India’s Explosive Batting Display From the very first ball, Bangladesh’s hopes of containing India seemed like a distant dream. After Tanzim Hasan claimed the early wicket of Abhishek Sharma with a sharp bouncer, the Indian batters unleashed a storm. Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav combined in a breathtaking 173-run second-wicket partnership that completely shattered Bangladesh’s bowling plans. Samson, in particular, was in scintillating form, crafting an exquisite 111 off just 47 balls, including eight sixes and nine boundaries. His shot-making was a class apart, with some of his strokes leaving the Bangladesh bowlers bewildered. Whether it was backing away and effortlessly hitting over cover or lofting the ball down the ground, Samson was in total control, at one point sending Mustafizur Rahman and the rest of the bowlers to all corners of the ground. Suryakumar, not to be overshadowed, contributed a brilliant 75 off 35 balls, with shots that seemed almost impossible for most batters. He managed to pull balls behind the square that most players would not even dream of attempting, and his audacious stroke play set the tone for the aggressive Indian innings. The two India's premier hitters were relentless, combining for 22 sixes, as India smashed 232 runs in boundaries alone. After their dismissal, Riyan Parag (34 off 13) and Hardik Pandya (47 off 18) added further fireworks, combining for 81 runs in just 31 balls. Their late onslaught, with Pandya playing a monstrous back-foot six off Tanzim, ensured India posted a near-300 total. India’s final score of 297/6 was just three runs short of the record for the highest-ever T20I score.

Mayank Yadav struck the first blow with a vicious bouncer, which led to Parvez Hossain's golden duck. Bangladesh struggled to get going in the face of some disciplined bowling, with Mahmudullah (8 off 9) failing to make a meaningful contribution in his farewell T20I. Ravi Bishnoi, making his first appearance of the series, was a standout performer for India, finishing with 3 wickets for 30 runs in his four overs. His spin proved too much for Bangladesh’s middle order, as he picked up key wickets and stifled their progress. Despite some late resistance from Towhid Hridoy, who struck a blistering 63 off 42 balls, Bangladesh’s chase was always behind the required run rate. Hridoy’s brave effort, featuring three sixes, was the highlight of the innings, but his efforts were in vain as Bangladesh could only manage 164/7, falling well short of the mammoth target. Final Thoughts India’s 297/6 was a monumental performance, filled with extravagant stroke play and an incredible display of power-hitting. It was a fitting send-off for the tour, and the crushing defeat leaves Bangladesh with plenty to reflect on, particularly their inability to stop India’s rampant batting.
