Sanju Samson and India are underway straightaway! Shoriful Islam starts with a full delivery, on the pads, Sanju Samson flicks it away through square leg for a single.
Welcome back for the second innings! The umpires are punctual and so are the players of Bangladesh who spread out to the field. Out walk the two openers for India. It's a brand-new opening pair of Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma. With the former taking the strike. Shoriful Islam with a slip in place is all in readiness to get the proceedings underway with the new ball. And, here we go...
... THE RUN CHASE ...
Well then, the first inning has flown by in this series opener. India has a target within reach to chase and will aim to mirror their bowling performance with the bat as well. Bangladesh on the other hand, will be required to bring their A-game with the ball. They do pose a threatening pace attack and would like them to contribute effectively. An exciting run chase up next in just a few minutes. Stay tuned.
Since the ball did some mischief too, Varun Chakravarthy came in handy and chipped in with a three-wicket haul to his name as well. India didn't let the opposition off the hook in the mid-overs, with identical bowling in the death as well, conceding only 16 runs and taking 3 wickets in the last 4. In the end, Hardik and Arshdeep did the cleaning of the tail effectively, eventually bowling them out in 19.5 overs.
India, on the other hand, began right on the money with Arshdeep setting the foundation in the very first over with a wicket. The new ball moved and got a bit of a variable bounce which helped the seamers to tie the batters up. It was Mayank Yadav though, who created impact straightaway in his debut match. First, delivered a maiden and then snagged his first T20I wicket, adding more trouble to the opposition.
Throughout, Bangladesh looked in a bit of hurry from the word go to accelerate and put the hosts under pressure, but it proved to be a two-faced sword for them. They needed a strong partnership after that initial collapse. But in contrast, they kept losing wickets and slipped down to 111/7 at the end of the 16th over. With an aim to ascend in the death overs, and Mehidy Hasan settled in well by then, he too, was left stranded at one end. As a result, Bangladesh, under steeping pressure, couldn't get the required momentum. Mehidy Hasan though, played well for his unbeaten 35.
Bangladesh started in a bit of a rusty fashion and lost their openers inside the restrictions. The batters tried to adapt to the pitch and tried to take the attack on right away. Hence, they could only mount 39/2 on the board in the Powerplay. In a desperate need to construct partnerships, Najmul Hossain Shanto attempted to launch a counter-offensive. He was the only one who looked settled but searched for partners at the other end.
A comprehensive bowling display by the Men in Blue through and through! They have reduced Bangladesh to just above a run-a-ball in this first T20I. To be fair, the tourists just couldn't get going in the innings and only Najmul Hossain Shanto along with Mehidy Hasan could cross the 20-run mark.
