IND Win By 7 Wickets | India vs Bangladesh Highlights of 1st T20I 2024: Hardik Pandya, Bowlers Power Hosts to Dominating Victory

That's It! Hardik Pandya finishes things off in style. His cameo came at the end like an explosive dessert and it was worth it. Hardik finished things off quickly and rather in nonchalant manner. Since the start, Bangladesh were never in the game and India didn't break a sweat throughout. They won in some style with 49 balls and seven wickets remaining. 

Both Nitish Kumar Reddy and Hardik Pandya have enjoyed their time on the crease and in no time they have raced on to the hundred-run mark. Only 22 runs remain and India is looking to comfortably cruise home in the halfway mark of the innings. 

Out! Sanju Samson departs. He looked gold dust as he was batting in his new role as openers. Creamed some shots straight and over covers as well. This time goes for a desperate hoik off Mehidy Hasan Miraz and gets caught at mid wicket. Samson c Rishad Hossain b Mehidy Hasan Miraz 29(19).

Out! After a solid cameo of 29 runs off 14 balls, Suryakumar Yadav finally times one brilliantly to the hands of Jaker Ali and had to walk off. Mustafizur Rahman looked happy as he was relieved to escape the rampage Suryakumar was in. Relief for Bangladesh but India are way ahead in the game now. Suryakumar Yadav c Jaker Ali b Mustafizur 29(14).

Out! Not how Abhishek Sharma would have wanted his dismissal to be. Sanju Samson pushes the ball on the onside and Abhishek sets off for a run. By the time Sanju said no it was too late. Towhid Hridoy nailed a direct hit and Abhishek had to go. India got a strong start but lost an unfortunate wicket. Abhishek Sharma run out (Towhid Hridoy) 16(7).

Out! That's It! Mehidy Hasan Miraz struggles to hold on to the strike and once he hands it over to Mustafizur Rahman, the left arm seamers gets cleaned up by another left arm seamer Arshdeep Singh. Tries to hoik one to leg side but Arshdeep was on spot and cracked the stumps over. A very tame effort with the bat from Bangladesh and India will be extremely happy with the bowling effort. Mustafizur b Arshdeep Singh 1(5).

Out! Shoriful Islam backs away to strike Hardik Pandya on the offside but Pandya nails the yorker and sends the stumps flying. Mehidy is once again stranded on one end as he now doesn't have much space to maneuver strike. Shoriful Islam b Hardik Pandya 0(2).

Out! Mehidy Hasan Miraz keeps fighting on one end but a horrible mix up causes him lose his partner Taskin Ahmed. It can effect the ultimate total for Bangladesh as Taskin was capable to produce some big hits. Mehidy will now have to do the job himself with 16 balls to go in the innings. Taskin Ahmed run out (Arshdeep Singh/Hardik Pandya) 12(13).

Out! It is becoming a memorable return for Varun Chakaravarthy. After the first over which went for 15 runs, everything has went his way. Rishad Hossain wanted to take on Varun who dropped the ball short but the bounce had Rishad miscue it straight in the hands of Hardik Pandya in the mid wicket boundary. Bangladesh only have the tail remaining now. Rishad Hossain c Hardik Pandya b Varun Chakravarthy 11(5).

Out! Washington Sundar scalps the wicket of Najmul Hossain Shanto. After some pace on deliveries, Sundar bowls one a little slower and Shanto gets caught in the trap. Lobs the ball straight back to the hands of Sundar. Bangladesh are now deep in trouble. Shanto c and b Washington Sundar 27(25).

Out! Poor Jaker Ali was clueless where the delivery from Varun Chakaravarthy was going to turn. It ended up being a mix of a slider and googly and went through the bat and pad to crash into the stumps. Half of the Bangladesh side is now back in the dug out with the team in deep trouble. Jaker Ali b Varun Chakravarthy 8(6) .

Out! Bangladesh lose back-to-back wickets. Mayank Yadav scalps his maiden International wicket and it is the huge wicket of the veteran Mahmudullah Riyadh. Mahmudulluah tried to go inside out and found the fielder at sweeper cover. Bangladesh have a steep slope to climb now.  Mahmudullah c Washington Sundar b Mayank Yadav 1(2).

Out! After conceding 15 runs in the first over, Varun Chakaravarthy returns strong. Bowls another one in hard length and Towhid tried to go over the top on the onside but got holed down in the hands of long on. Huge blow for Bangladesh. Towhid Hridoy c Hardik Pandya b Varun Chakravarthy 12(18).

Out! Arshdeep Singh again. Returns in the second over and cleans up Parvez Hossain Emon. Emon sees the width and shapes to cut but the inside edge crashed into the stumps. Bangladesh in early trouble. Parvez Hossain Emon b Arshdeep Singh 8(9).

Out! Breakthrough comes in the first over and from none other than Arshdeep Singh. Litton Das goes for a wild sweep and the ball takes his top edge to loop into the hands of Rinku Singh. India draw first blood.  Litton Das c Rinku Singh b Arshdeep Singh 4(2).

Bangladesh (Playing XI): Litton Das(w), Najmul Hossain Shanto(c), Parvez Hossain Emon, Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Jaker Ali, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam
