Following a 1-0 lead in the series, Suryakumar Yadav-led Team India touched down at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi on Monday in anticipation of their second T20I face-off against Bangladesh. Amid spirited cheers, players were warmly greeted by fans as they departed for their hotel in the capital city.
The Indian team aims to secure the series with another win in the second match of this three-game encounter scheduled for Wednesday, promising a high-scoring spectacle. This comes after overpowering Bangladesh with a seven-wicket victory in the first T20I match in Gwalior, where Suryakumar’s squad initially opted to field.
In the series opener, Bangladesh posted a modest 127 after lackluster batting performances. Notable contributions came from Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakravarthy each claimed three wickets in stellar spells. During India’s chase, Hardik Pandya’s explosive knock saw them meet the target effortlessly.
An India so dominant that Bangladesh is admittedly clueless about how to match the “skills and mentality” of Suryakumar Yadav’s men.
The India vs Bangladesh 2nd T20I will begin at 7:00 PM (IST) on Wednesday, October 9.
The India vs Bangladesh 2nd T201 match will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.
