India vs Bangladesh 2nd T20I Highlights: Nitish Kumar Reddy and Rinku Singh led the way as a belligerent Inda put up a total of 221/9 batting first in their second T20I against Bangladesh in New Delhi. Reddy then took two wickets as India restricted Bangladesh to a score of 135/9 in 20 overs and thus won the match by 86 runs. India have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series now. ...Read More
Reddy and Rinku's 108-run stand off just 49 balls helped India recover from a shaky start and take control of the second T20I against Bangladesh in New Delhi. Reddy smashed 74 off 34 balls while Rinku made 53 in 29 balls. Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto earlier won the toss and chose to bowl first.
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: India beat Bangladesh by 86 runs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: And with that, the hosts have confirmed yet another series win. The only time India had any kind of trouble was in the first six overs of their innings but so comprehensively did they hit back after that, we could say that they hardly broke a sweat today and it won't be too far from the truth. Seven players bowled for India today and all of them got at least one wicket, with Reddy and Chakravarthy getting two each. And, interestingly, not one of them was Hardik Pandya! It didn't look like Pandya was carrying any injury and so this was clearly to give as many of India's part-timers a go as possible.
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: OUT! No fifty for Mahmudullah
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Credit to the grand old man, he went for a big shot instead of knocking it along trying to reach a half-century. He played a fairly good hand but a strike rate of 105 in a chase of over 220 is never good enough.
Mahmudullah c Parag b Nitish Kumar Reddy 41 (39)
Bangladesh 127/9 in 19.1 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Into the final over now
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Nitish Reddy to bowl it and he is bowling to Mahmudullah, who is on 41 off 39. Can the retiring man get a fifty here? That is pretty much the only question that remains as it is quite ludicrous to even think of a Bangladesh victory. They need 95 to win from the last six balls, in case you were wondering
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: OUT! Nitish Kumar Reddy gets his first international wicket!
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: So Reddy gets his first international wicket on the same day as he get his first international half-century. Wide and full for the fourth ball of the 18th, Sakib chases it and hits it straight down the throat of Hardik Pandya at long on. Pandya celebrates by nonchalantly throwing the ball back and walking around like he just took the ball as it rolled along the ground to him in a Test match.
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Into the last four overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Mahmudullah with a biggie over long on off the fourth ball of the 16th from Chakravarthy and that is a six. Then he hits it right back to the bowler, very difficult chance for Chakravarthy and he puts it down, no surprises there. Mahmudullah on 36 off 30 at the end of that over, he has Tanzim Shakib at the other end on two off four.
Bangladesh 110/7 in 16 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: OUT! OH A STUNNER FROM PANDYA!
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Pandya charged left from deep midwicket, ran a mile as the ball came down, then he stretched out one hand and it sticks. He then hits the ground, slides along it and keeps the ball in his hand. That is just ridiculous stuff. Chakravarthy gets his second and Bangladesh down to their last three wickets.
Hossain c Pandya b Varun 9 (10)
Bangladesh 93/7 in 13.3 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: OUT! A wicket for Mayank now
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Jaker pulls the fourth ball, that pace from Mayank does him completely. He cannot get hold of it properly and holes out at the boundary. Bangladesh crumbling.
Jaker Ali c Washington Sundar b MP Yadav 1 (2)
Bangladesh 83/6 in 11.4 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: OUT! Riyan Parag gets one
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Big roar from Parag as Miraz hops down the track and hits it to long off. It was a wide length ball and so Miraz had to reach out, Parag making that adjustment last second.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz c sub (Ravi Bishnoi) b Parag 16 (16)
Bangladesh 80/5 in 11 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: 9 overs gone, Bangladesh all at sea
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Now the Delhi crowd gets to take a look at Mayank Yadav. The spinners have gone through their overs in a jiffy and so we are already almost at the halfway point of the number of overs that Bangladesh are designated to bat, although it doesn't look like they are going to get to 20 overs today. Mahmudullah will be on strike, he had been Mayank's sole wicket in the first T20I. He is on six off seven, Miraz at the other end on 12 off 11.
Bangladesh 61/4 in 9 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: OUT! Now Abhishek gets a wicket
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Bangladesh are falling like ninepins. Hridoy, likes Litton, goes for a big ugly heave leg side, the ball from Abhishek is full, almost a yorker, and it slides under the batter to hit the stumps. It was almost a shot in hope from Hridoy and that is not enough in international cricket.
Hridoy b Abhishek Sharma 2 (6)
Bangladesh 46/4 in 7 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Good powerplay for India
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Bangladesh's powerplay has gone almost exactly the way it went for India. It took an extraordinary stand for India to get out of that hole. Now the visitors will have to do the same. Both Towhid Hridoy and Mehidy Hasan Miraz are on a run each.
Abhishek Sharma now bowling the 7th over
Bangladesh 43/3 in 6 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: OUT! Chakravarthy with his first ball of the match!
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Right on the money from Varun Chakravarthy to start off the last over of the powerplay and Bangladesh, like India, have now lost three wickets in it. Litton for a big ugly heave leg side but the ball didn't rise as much as he expected it to. It was quick as wel
Litton b Varun 14 (11)
Bangladesh 42/3 in 5.1 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: OUT! Washington Sundar strikes in his first over
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Shanto cramped for space but tries to go for a biggy anyhow. Sends it straight to long on where Hardik Pandya gobbles up the easy catch.
Shanto c Pandya b Washington Sundar 11 (7)
Bangladesh 40/3 in 4.3 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Litton with the first six of the innings!
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Reddy gives Litton some width last ball of the fourth over and Litton smashes it over long on for a six. How Bangladesh need him to fire if they are to get anywhere close to India's score. Litton on 12 off seven, Shanto at the other end on 10 off five.
Bangladesh 38/1 in 4 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: OUT! Arshdeep gives Emon the stare
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Oh Emon chops on and Arshdeep sends him on with some eyeball treatment.
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: 14 runs in the first over!
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Arshdeep greeted with a four first ball, Emon slaps it with the swing away from him and clears cover. Arshdeep beats Emon with an absolute jaffa of a fourth ball. Then Emon smashes the next back over the bowler for a four and then the last is sent through mid on for another four. Nitish Kumar Reddy to bowl the second over now
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Now for the Bangladesh chase
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: The players are back. Arshdeep Singh bowls the first over for India. Parvez Hossain Emon facing up with Litton Das at the other end. To say that Bangladesh have a mountain to climb is an understatement.
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: India 221/9 in 20 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: As many as three wickets in that over and one six. Washington Sundar was left stranded at none off none at the non-striker's end while tail-enders Varun Chakravarthy and Arshdeep Singh tried to smash sixes. The latter was successful once, but one wonders just how many more runs Sundar could've got for India had Chakravarthy looked to give him a strike instead of going for biggies. Nonetheless, it was another big-hitting exhibition from India, who clearly have now completely embraced the "go big or go broke" philosophy. Bangladesh did well in the beginning but gave Reddy too many lives and Rinku too many freebies to undo all that good work.
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: GONE! Riyan Parag goes after doing his bit
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Riyan Parag with two sixes off the fourth and fifth balls, the second of which just about cleared long-off. He did exactly what is needed of him, some big shots and quick runs. 18 runs and a wicket in that over, the last from Tanzim Shakib.
Parag c Mahmudullah b Tanzim Hasan Sakib 15 (6)
India 213/6 in 19 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: 10 runs in the 18th over
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Such is the pace at which this innings has gone that this over looks like a quiet one despite 10 runs coming in it. Pandya welcomes back Mustafizur for his final over with a six back over the bowler's head. Four more singles in that over, Pandya is on 27 off 16, Riyan Parag at the other end on two off two.
India 195/5 in 18 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: OUT! Rinku Singh falls
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: A brilliant 17th over from Taskin and he gets the wicket to show at the end of it. Quick bouncer outside off after two slow balls, Rinku pulls it straight to that sweeper on leg side.
Rinku Singh c Jaker Ali b Taskin Ahmed 53 (29)
India 185/5 in 17 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: 4, 4, 6, Rinku brings up his fifty in style
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Rinku Singh has raced to 53 in 26 balls. He first goes behind square and clears short fine leg for a four. Taskin goes full and wide fifth ball, Rinku sends it over mid-off who was puzzlingly brought up just before that ball for another four. Then he gets a leading edge on a pull and that goes behind for a six.
India 182/4 in 16 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: OUT! That's it for Reddy
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Mustafizur returns for the 14th over, Rinku off strike first ball. The Fizz then bowls that cutter of his third ball and that does it for Reddy. Goes for a big shot but gets a thick edge to extra cover. An extraordinary innings comes to an end.
Nitish Kumar Reddy c Mehidy Hasan Miraz b Mustafizur Rahman 74 (34)
India 149/4 in 13.3 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Nitish Reddy goes berzerk! 26 runs in the 13th!
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: He just scored his maiden international fifty but we can already start talking about a potential century now. Miraz returns for the 13th over and Reddy takes him on a tour around Delhi. Rinku takes a single off the first ball. Miraz with a proper long hop to Reddy and he gobbles up that gift, sends it over wide long on for a six. Then a full and straight delivery that Reddy drills down the ground. Two runs off the next ball and then Reddy smashes a flat six over Miraz's head fifth ball. Miraz then bowls a wide down the leg side and then Reddy smashes that extra ball over midwicket for another six.
India 148/3 in 13 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Maiden international fifty for Reddy!
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Reddy lofts the fourth ball of the 12th by Taskin over mid-off for a four. Takes a single next ball and that takes him to fifty in just 27 balls. Rinku takes a single as well and he moves to 33 in 18.
India 122/3 in 12 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Now 13 runs in the 11th
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Well this is turning into a carnage, the tables have been turned on Bangladesh. Reddy was dropped by Litton while he was on five, Mahmudullah bowled a no ball to him while he was on 13 and now he is making them pay. The Fizz returns for the 11th over, two runs off the first three balls and then Reddy sends the fourth elegantly over long-on for a six. Single next ball and then Rinku plays a late cut to send the last ball behind square for a four. Reddy on 44 off 23, Rinku on 31 off 16.
India 114/3 in 11 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: 24 RUNS IN THE 10TH OVER!
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Oh well Reddy has chosen violence in this second life he got after that LBW appeal. Hossain returns for the 10th, Rinku incredibly goes back to a length delivery first up and powers past deep cover for a four. A leg bye next ball and then Rishad goes too full and wide. Reddy sends it over long-off. The next ball is slog-swept over long on. A single next ball and then Rinku sees Hossain going short well before the bowler sends the the ball in, pulls that into the crowd for the third six. He is on 26 off 14, Reddy on 36 off 19.
India 101/3 in 10 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Nitish Reddy gets into the act!
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Mahmudullah bowls the ninth over and it turns out to be a long one. Rinku takes a single first ball and the second is wide outside off. Two more runs and then Mahmudullah oversteps. Reddy makes the most of the free hit by smashing the fourth ball over long on for a six. A big appeal for LBW turned down next ball and Bangladesh review that. It is umpire's call on impact, was a very close one. Reddy then hits a four over deep cover.
India 77/3 in 9 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Rinku with the first six of the match
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Rishad Hossain introduced in the eighth over, singles off the first four balls includng a leg bye and then Rinku slog sweeps the fifth ball into the stands. Single off the last ball and he is on 14 off nine, Reddy on 12 off 11.
India 62/3 in 8 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Just 45 runs and three wickets for IND in powerplay
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: This is a very good start for Bangladesh but they can't get too far ahead of themselves. Rinku Singh is in the middle now with Nitish Reddy. Both are players who are capable of building highly destructive innings and India still have Hardik Pandya to come. Rinku has opened his account by hitting a four off the fifth ball of that over from the Fizz. He is on four off three, Reddy on seven off five.
India 45/3 in 6 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: OUT! SKY falls!
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Well SKY had got four off the previous ball in Mustafizur's first over of the match, the last of the powerplay, thanks to a misfield from Shanto. The Indian captain then chips the next ball to mid-off. Huge scalp for Bangladesh.
Suryakumar c Shanto b Mustafizur 8 (10)
India 41/3 in 5.3 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Pace like fire from Tanzim Shakib!
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Reddy with a powerful shot off the fourth ball to send it over cover for four. He is then dropped next ball by Liton Das, which would be a disappointment for Bangladesh as they have done a good job of restricting the Indians thus far. Then Litton does a very good job of stopping the ball from going for four byes as Tanzim fires the last ball at 145kph, a full outswinger that pitches beside offstump and shoots up.
India 36/2 in 5 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Nitish Kumar Reddy needs some attention
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Suryakumar Yadav shows that he is not going to hold back by driving the first ball of the fourth over in the air. Doesn't connect but gets it over the infield for two runs. Two more runs off the next four balls and then SKY smashes the last ball back down the ground. Reddy turns around to make it to his own crease to avoid a possible run out, ends up taking the ball on his back. He gets some attention but seems fine. Reddy on none after facing one ball, SKY on three off five.
India 29/2 in 4 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: OUT! Now Abhishek falls!
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Abhishek is cleaned up and India have lost both their openers in the first three overs. This was a quick one from Tanzim Shakib last ball of the third, Abhishek tries to slog it over midwicket, gets a faint inside edge and the off stump goes on a looong cartwheel.
Abhishek Sharma b Tanzim Hasan Sakib 15 (11)
India 25/2 in 3 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: GONE! That's it for Samson!
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Oh Samson has holed out and so it is nothing more than a good start for him today.
Samson c Najmul Hossain Shanto b Taskin Ahmed 10 (7)
India 17/1 in 2 overs
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: 15 runs in the 1st over!
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Samson is all class as he sends the second ball of the over between cover and cover-point. Then punches the third off the backfoot between mid-off and extra cover. Three runs off the next two balls and then Abhishek clobbers the last ball through extra cover for four.
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Here we go then!
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma have opened the batting for India. Miraz is opening the bowling for Bangladesh.
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: One change for Bangladesh
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Shanto says that Shoriful Islam isn't playing today and Tanzim Shakib takes his place.
Bangladesh: Parvez Hossain Emon, Litton Das(w), Najmul Hossain Shanto(c), Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Jaker Ali, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Mustafizur Rahman
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: No changes for India
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: No surprises at all there.
India: Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Nitish Reddy, Hardik Pandya, Riyan Parag, Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar, Varun Chakaravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Mayank Yadav
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: TOSS TIME!
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Bangladesh have won the toss and choose to bowl first
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Pitch report
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: As expected, it is going to be a "nightmare" for the bowlers, says Abhinav Mukund. 55 metres on the off side, 63 from the leg side, fine boundaries are short on one side, long on the other. Teams have chosen to bowl first at the toss but teams batting first have won in the last five games.
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: India's bowling ‘happy headache’
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: A problem that India had to deal with for much of the second half of the 2010s was that none of their batters could bowl to save their careers. That no longer seems to be the case though. In the first T20I, India had as many as eight bowling options, which Suryakumar Yadav called a "happy headache".
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Mahmudullah's career
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Mahmudullah retires as a colossus in Bangladesh's T20 history. He will be the joint third-most capped T20I player, having played 139 matches thus far and two more taking him to 141. He is also Bangladesh's second-highest run-scorer in the format, only behind Shakib Al Hasan. Mahmudullah has also played in the most defeats in this format, and earlier this year he became Bangladesh's oldest player in T20Is.
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Mahmudullah to retire
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Mahmudullah has announced that he will retire from T20Is after Bangladesh's series against India. "I had a chat with my family. I spoke to the coach [Chandika Hathurusinghe], captain [Najmul Hossain Shanto], chief selector [Gazi Ashraf Hossain] and the board president [Faruque Ahmed] as well. I think it is the right time to move on from this format for me and the team. Especially with the World Cup coming up in less than two years. I will concentrate on the one-day game," he said.
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Will Bangladesh open with Miraz?
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Former Bangladesh captain Tamil Iqbal said while doing commentary in the first T20I that they should open the batting with Mehidy Hasan Miraz. It will be interesting to see if they listen to him or stick to what they have at the moment.
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Hardik Pandya emblematic of India's approach
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: It would be unfair to ignore other batters while talking about India's ruthlessness in the first T20I but Hardik Pandya probably symbolised the World Cup champions' nonchalant dominance at the moment in the format, particularly when facing an underperforming side like Bangladesh. He ended the Indian chase in the 12th over with two fours and a six off three consecutive balls. He didn't even bother looking at the ball after ramping Taskin Ahmed for the first of those fours, choosing to drop his bat almost as soon as he made contact and then keeping looking straight at the bowler with an almost bored expression.
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Najmul Hossain Shanto emblematic of Bangladesh's problems
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Bangladesh have a real problem with strike rates, with none of their main batters going at above 140 in their T20I careers. In the first T20I, captain Najmul Hossain Shanto hung around while players fell at the other end. When he tried to accelarate, he perished as well. This meant that Shanto scored 27 runs in 25 balls with just two boundaries.
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Arshdeep Singh ‘didn’t even feel like looking at the wicket'
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Arshdeep Singh summed up how bad this ground was for bowlers last year. “Punjab Kings didn't have a match here in the IPL this season but seeing the scores at this ground I didn't feel like seeing the wicket. We will come tomorrow and assess the conditions and make plans accordingly,” he told reporters.
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Abhishek Sharma supremacy in Delhi
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Abhishek Sharma has a strike-rate of 217 and an average of 59 across the five T20 games he's played at this venue. In the sole match that the Sunrisers Hyderabad played here, Abhishek went berzerk, smashing a whopping 46 runs in just 12 balls at a scarcely believable average of 383.33. He put up an opening stand of 131 in, wait for it, 6.2 OVERS(!!!!!) with Travis Head, who scored 89 in 32.
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: A run-fest expected?
India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: This venue was a nightmare for bowlers last year in the IPL. Each of the five games that were played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium last year saw a first innings score in excess of 200.
