India secured a resounding 3-0 series sweep against Bangladesh, thanks to a dominant performance in the third and final T20I. The Indian batsmen, led by Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav, put on a spectacular show, leaving the Bangladeshi bowlers stunned.
India’s innings was a thrilling rollercoaster ride, culminating in a monstrous total of 297/6. Samson, in a remarkable display of power hitting, smashed a maiden T20I century off just 40 balls, making it the second fastest T20I century by an Indian batsman. His innings was filled with audacious shots, including five sixes in a single over against leg-spinner Rishad Hossain.
Suryakumar Yadav, the captain, wasn’t far behind. He too brought up a century, entertaining the crowd with his aggressive strokeplay. Their 173-run partnership for the second wicket, off just 70 deliveries, set the tone for the match and left Bangladesh reeling.
Even after Samson and Suryakumar departed, the momentum remained with India. Riyan Parag and Hardik Pandya kept the scoreboard ticking with blistering cameos, propelling India to an incredible 152/1 at the end of the first ten overs.
In response, Bangladesh’s batting crumbled under pressure. Their chase was never really on track, and they eventually fell short by a massive 133 runs. The Indian bowlers were disciplined and effective, with Ravi Bishnoi picking up three wickets. Litton Das and Towhid Hridoy tried to put up a fight, but their individual efforts were not enough to salvage the match for Bangladesh.
This series win once again showcased India’s prowess in the shortest format of the game. The team’s batsmen are in top form, and their bowling unit is looking well balanced. This is a significant boost for India as they prepare for the upcoming T20 World Cup.
