India vs Bangladesh 2024 1st T20 today match Score Highlights: India won the match against Bangladesh in the first T20, courtesy of Hardik Pandya’s explosive six, sealing the victory by seven wickets. The Indian innings began strongly, with Abhishek Sharma contributing 16 runs before being run out. Suryakumar Yadav added 29 runs before falling to a catch, but Hardik and Nitish Kumar Reddy kept the momentum going, culminating in Hardik’s six that confirmed India’s win.
Earlier, India’s bowlers delivered a commanding performance, bowling Bangladesh out for just 127 runs in 19.5 overs. Mehidy Hasan Miraz was the standout performer for Bangladesh, scoring a modest 35 runs. However, the rest of the batting lineup faltered, with five players failing to reach double digits and struggling to form any significant partnerships.
Varun Chakravarthy was the star of the Indian bowling attack, claiming three wickets. Arshdeep Singh contributed with two, while Hardik Pandya, Mayank Yadav, and Washington Sundar each chipped in with one wicket apiece. The bowlers applied relentless pressure from the outset, capitalizing on every opportunity to secure a convincing win.
Just as we speak about Mayank Yadav, he gets his cap! So he is about to make his debut, along with Nitish Kumar Reddy.
The powerful all-rounder suffered a back injury following India‘s final practice session in Gwalior, paving the way for Nitish Kumar Reddy to potentially make his debut today.
India and Bangladesh have faced off in 13 T20I matches, with the Men in Blue holding a significant advantage by winning 12 of those encounters. In contrast, the Tigers have secured only one victory against their rivals.
The opening match will take place in Gwalior at the newly established Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium, heralding the return of international cricket to the venue after a 14-year hiatus.
The new stadium features a fresh pitch that is anticipated to favor batting. Given the expected dew conditions, the team that wins the toss may choose to bowl first.
“It’s a fantastic opportunity for young players. Whenever they have represented their states, they have performed well. There’s nothing new for them to adjust to here,” said India captain Suryakumar Yadav.
