Indian bowlers looked set to equal this record right from the starting as they kept taking wickets throughout the Bangladesh innings after Suryakumar Yadav had won the toss and invited the visitors to bat first🐎.
Arshdeep struck twice♈ with the new ball, removing both Bangladesh openers. Spinner Varun Chakravaarthy, who returned to the national side after a gap of almost three years, then ran through the Bangladesh middle and lower order. Chakravarthy picked up three wickets to leave Bangladesh tottering.
In between, debutant Mayank Yadav began his international career with a maiden and hassled Bangladesh batters with his express pace. Mayank, alongside Hardik Pandya and Washington Sundar finished ꦜwith a wicket each. Arshdeep then bowled Mustafizur to take his third wicket and bowl out Bangladesh for just 127.
In reply, India finished the small chase in just the 12th over, winning the match by seven wickets. Everyone contributed with the bat and Hardik returned with the top score as he smashed an unbeaten 16-ball 39 to guide In𓄧dia home.
India now lead Bangladesh 1-0 in the three-match series. Second T20I between the two sides is🐬 on October 9 in Delhi.
