Hyderabad: In a spectacular display of batting prowess, Team India maintained their dominance over Bangladesh by securing a comprehensive victory in the third and final match of the T20 series held at Uppal Stadium, Hyderabad, on Saturday night.
Having already clinched the series with wins in the first two matches, India showcased their formidable strength once again by dismantling Bangladesh with a staggering total of 297 runs. This monumental score, which could have potentially set a new world record of surpassing 300 runs, underscored the explosive batting lineup of the Indian team.
The match began with India opting to bat first, and it quickly became evident that their intentions were clear. Sanju Samson, opening the innings, made an immediate impact by scoring four consecutive boundaries in the second over, signaling the aggressive approach India intended to take. Although a setback occurred in the third over when Abhishek Sharma fell cheaply, it did little to dampen India’s momentum.
Samson continued his stellar performance, reaching his half-century in just 22 balls before escalating his innings to an extraordinary century in 40 balls. His partnership with captain Suryakumar Yadav was nothing short of sensational, as the duo amassed an impressive 173 runs off just 70 deliveries. Yadav mirrored Samson’s aggressive intent, contributing significantly to the high score.
The middle order, comprising Riyan Parag and Hardik Pandya, maintained the assault, adding a further 70 runs in 26 balls. Their rapid-fire innings ensured that Bangladesh was never in contention, as India racked up runs with ease. However, the final over brought moments of tension when two wickets fell in consecutive deliveries, preventing India from breaking the 300-run barrier—a milestone only achieved by one other team in T20 International history among ICC full member nations.
Ultimately, India secured the victory by a commanding margin of 133 runs, demonstrating their batting depth and strategic prowess. The match concluded with India losing six wickets but still posting an intimidating total that Bangladesh struggled to chase down.
This dominant performance not only cemented India’s supremacy in the series but also highlighted the exceptional talents of players like Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav. As the series concluded, fans and analysts alike praised India’s ability to maintain their unbeaten streak and deliver thrilling performances on the field.
