Nitish Reddy and Rinku Singh batted brilliantly

After losing the toss and being asked to bat first, India got off to a poor start with Sanju Samson (10 off 7), Suryakumar Yadav (8 off 10) and Abhishek Sharma (15 off 11) falling cheaply. Rinku Singh (53 off 29) contributed crucial runs but it was Nitish Kumar Reddy who stole the show with a stunning 74 off just 34 balls. His innings was studded with 4 fours and 7 towering sixes, giving India the upper hand after a slow start. Hardik Pandya added vital runs in the blink of an eye with 32 off 19, while Riyan Parag smashed 15 off 6 balls to help India pass the 200-run mark.

In Bangladesh, bowling was a mixed bag.

Towhid Hridoy and Jaker Ali were dismissed cheaply, putting Bangladesh on the back foot early. Mahmudullah fought a lone battle for Bangladesh, scoring 41 off 39 balls with 3 sixes, but he couldn’t back it up at the other end.

Mayank Yadav, (1/30), Varun Chakravarthy (2/19) and Abhishek Sharma (1/10) ensured that Bangladesh’s middle-order could not sustain, and the visitors were eventually restricted to 135/9.
