The Men in Blue emerged victorious in the clash and maintained their winning streak in the ongoing tournament. The match was marked by India’s sheer dominance in all the departments.
Bangladesh’s decent start and Indian bowler’s comeback
Winning the toss and opting to bat first, Bangladesh put up a respectable total of 256/8 in their 50 overs. Key contributions came from Litton Das, who scored 66 runs off 82 balls, and the aggressive Tanzid Hasan, who made 51 runs off 43 balls. Mahmudullah‘s quickfire 46 runs off 36 balls, and Mushfiqur Rahim‘s 38 off 46 helped further bolster the innings.
India’s bowlers fought back well and put up a commendable performance despite a decent start from opposition batters, with Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja claiming two wickets each.
