India vs Bangladesh 1st T20I Highlights: Hardik Pandya powers IND to dominant win

India vs Bangladesh 1st T20I Live Score: Pandya just added a few tons of swagger into this Indian chase with that finish. Utterly mesmerising stuff from the all-rounder. He finishes unbeaten on 39 off 16. Taskin bowling the 12th and last over of this innings, Nitish takes a single off the second ball after a leg bye first ball. Then Pandya sends the third ball, which is short and angling into him, over the keeper with a no-look ramp. He just keeps his eyes on the bowler and keeps looking as the ball flies behind him to the boundary, almost as if he in fact left the ball in a club match. Then Pandya swings hard towards the leg side, the ball is sliced through point and short third and the bat infact goes in the direction that the batter intended to hit. It goes for four anyway. And then Pandya smashes the fifth ball over midwicket for a six to finish it all off in style.

India vs Bangladesh 1st T20I Live Score: Pandya slaps the fourth ball of the 11th from Rishad over cover off the back foot for a six.

Bangladesh 64/5 in 10 overs

India vs Bangladesh 1st T20I Live Score: It looks like Jaker Ali knew as much about that ball as we have right now of a comet set to hit the Earth in the next 5 minutes and end all of humanity.
