India vs Bangladesh: 3rd T20I Preview – Hyderabad to Host Decider

India and Bangladesh are set to clash in the third and final T20 International at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Saturday, October 12th. With India already having secured the series win after a dominant 86-run victory in New Delhi, the match is poised to be a thrilling encounter.

The second T20I saw India’s top order falter, but a remarkable 108-run partnership between Nitish Kumar Reddy (74) and Rinku Singh (53) steered them to a commanding total of 221 for nine. Hardik Pandya also played a significant role, providing valuable support to help India register their highest ever T20I total against Bangladesh.

India’s bowling attack also proved potent, with seven bowlers claiming at least one wicket each. Nitish and Varun Chakravarthy picked up two wickets each, while Arshdeep Singh, Washington Sundar, Abhishek Sharma, Mayank Yadav, and Riyan Parag also contributed to the impressive performance.

Bangladesh fought hard but ultimately fell short, finishing with a score of 135 for nine. Mahmadullah, who is set to retire from T20Is after the series, was Bangladesh’s top scorer with 41 runs.

The first T20I in Gwalior saw India emerge victorious by seven wickets, setting the tone for a dominant series performance.
