NEW DELHI: The head-to-head record between India and Bangladesh in cricket shows a total of 13 matches played, with India winning 12 and Bangladesh winning just 1.
India and Bangladesh faced off in a notable cricket match, marking the 1000th T20 International (T20I) game on 3rd November, 2019. Indian team was led by Rohit Sharma, with Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah rested.This put significant responsibility on Shikhar Dhawan and Yuzvendra Chahal.
India faced early challenges in the cricket match against Bangladesh in Delhi. Opting to bat first, India lost captain Rohit Sharma in the first over to an lbw by Shafiul Islam. KL Rahul’s dismissal soon followed, as he misjudged a delivery to short cover.
Shreyas Iyer briefly lifted the team’s spirits with a quick 22 off 13 balls but was dismissed shortly after. Shikhar Dhawan emerged as the top scorer for India, managing 41 runs from 42 balls. However, a mix-up with Rishabh Pant resulted in Dhawan being run out, adding to India’s difficulties.
India managed to post a total of 148/6 in their 20 overs, thanks to a crucial partnership between Krunal Pandya and Washington Sundar. At 120 for 6 with just ten balls remaining, Pandya and Sundar added a vital 28 runs to push the team’s score. India’s final push came in the last stretches of their innings.
Bangladesh’s bowlers showed strong performance in their latest match. Legspinner Aminul Islam and offspinner Afif Hossain secured combined figures of 3 for 33. However, there were questions about captain Mahmudullah’s decision not to use Mustafizur Rahman during the final overs.
Bangladesh’s batting got off to a rocky start when Liton Das was dismissed in the first over. Debutant Mohammad Naim made some aggressive shots but was eventually taken by Yuzvendra Chahal. Chahal then further set back Bangladesh’s efforts to chase the target.
Mushfiqur Rahim played a crucial role in reviving the chase with important shots towards the end. He scored four consecutive boundaries to Khaleel Ahmed and managed to bring down the target to just four runs needed in the last over.
Shivam Dube, making his debut, was tasked with bowling the final over. Mahmudullah’s strategic hitting, including a double, wide and a six, clinched the victory for Bangladesh.
India’s chances were hurt by key fielding errors, especially when Krunal Pandya dropped Rahim’s catch. As a result, Bangladesh celebrated a significant win, bolstered by Mushfiqur’s performance and India’s mistakes.
