India vs Bangladesh 1st T20I Highlights: All-Round India Thrash ...

Arshdeep Singh named Player of the Match!

"There's breeze from the end I was bowling. I didn't get the wicket the way I wanted but the ball is coming good from the hand. It's minor changes in the run-up, in the wrist, I keep learning and exploring things. The experience is there, the more you play the better you get. Everyone bowled well, especially Mayank was very good. I guess the best thing in this format is how well you can adapt to the situation, to the wicket and the ground dimensions as well. My motive is how well I can adapat and how quickly I can adapt," said Arshdeep Singh after the game.

IND 94/3 (9)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: OUT!

IND 80/3 (7.5)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: FOUR!

Class! Class! Class! That is a sensational shot from Sanju Samson off the backfoot for a four. It was some great weight transfer from the batter to punch the ball through the covers for a four. 

IND 77/2 (7)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: OUT!

Against the run of play, India have lost the wicket of Suryakumar Yadav. It was a poor good length ball from Mustafizur Rahman. He bowled it on the legs of the India captain but the latter hit it straight into the hands of Jaker Ali at backward square leg.

IND 65/2 (5.3)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: Suryakumar Yadav on fire!

India captain Suryakumar Yadav is doing what he does the best - toying with the bowlers. He slammed Taskin Ahmed for two fours and a six in the fifth over of India's innings. A total of 14 runs came off the over. India need 70 runs in 90 balls. It seems like a cakewalk for them from this point.

IND 58/1 (5)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: SIX! FOUR!

Suryakumar Yadav started the Mustafizur Rahman over with a superb six on the leg side. It was a fuller ball from Mustafizur and Suryakumar brought in his wristy work to pull it over square leg for a biggie. Later in the over, Samson hit a four through the mid-on region.

IND 44/1 (4)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: Run-out!

What an unfortunate dismissal this is for Abhishek Sharma! But he could only blame himself for this. Sanju Samson played the ball towards the short mid-wicket and it was never a run there. Sanju took a couple of steps forward before denying the single. Abhishek by then had covered almost half of the pitch. Towhid Hridoy effected a direct throw at the non-striker's end and Abhishek was short of his crease by a big margin.  

IND 25/1 (2)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: SIX! FOUR!

The intent is quite clear from Abhishek Sharma. He went across the stumps and slammed it down the ground for a big six. It went for 89 metres. The southpaw got a thick edge on the next delivery that ran away through the third man fence for a four. 

IND 20/0 (1.2)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: FOUR!

That is a sublime drive from Sanju Samson down the ground for a four. It was a fuller ball from Shoriful that swung into Samson but the India opener covered the line of the ball beautifully to drive it for a straight four.

IND 6/0 (0.4)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: India's chase underway!

Abhishek Sharma is on the strike while Sanju Samson is at the other end. Shoriful Islam will bowl the first over. Here we go... 

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: Bangladesh all out for 127!

Arshdeep Singh cleans up Mustafizur Rahman on the penultimate delivery of the final over and Bangladesh are bundled out for 127 runs. Arshdeep finishes with figures of 3 for 14 while Chakravarthy picked 3 for 31.

BAN 127 (19.5)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: OUT!

Hardik Pandya has cleaned up Shoriful Islam and Bangladesh are nine down, only one wicket away from being bundled out. They have 13 more balls left in the innings.

BAN 117/9 (17.5)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: Run out!

Taskin Ahmed is run-out. It is a mistake on Mehidy Hasan Miraz's end as Taskin was not ready for the couple. Mehidy hit the ball on the leg side and ran the first one hard. Mehidy maintained the pace and ran to the other end despite Taskin asking him to abort the second run. As a result, Taskin had to sacrifice his wicket.

BAN 116/8 (17.2)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: Lands safely!

Taskin Ahmed mistimed his pull shot but he was lucky for the fact that the ball fell well behind the bowler Hardik Pandya.

BAN 115/7 (17.1)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: OUT!

Varun Chakravarthy is on fire! He has picked his third wicket in the game. It was a leg spin and Rishad Hossain mistimed the pull to lose his wicket. Hardik Pandya ran inside from deep mid-wicket to take the catch. Bangladesh are seven down.

BAN 93/7 (13.5)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: Expensive over from Mayank!

Mayank Yadav has leaked 15 runs in his third over. Mehidy Hasan Miraz hit the pacer for a four while Rishad Hossain slammed him for a six and a four.

BAN 90/6 (13)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: OUT!

Najmul Hossain Shanto is gone! Washington Sundar gets him. Shanto has handed an easy return catch to Sundar. He danced down the track but the ball seemed to have sticked a bit to the surface. As a result, Shanto could not stay in control of the drive and ended up hitting it to Sundar.

BAN 75/6 (12)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: Economical over from Reddy!

Nitish Reddy conceded 11 runs in his first over but he has made a good improvement to give away only 6 in the second over. India have kept things under control so far.

BAN 70/5 (11)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: OUT!

Wicket number two for Varun Chakravarthy. It was a googly from the India spinner and Jaker Ali failed to read it. The ball went through the bat-pad gap and rattled his stumps. Bangladesh are five down in the game. India continue to stay in a commanding position.

BAN 57/5 (9.2)

India vs Bangladesh Live: SIX!

Jaker Ali goes across the stumps and slams the Nitish Reddy delivery for an 82-metre six. The ball went to a good height but got the distance as well. This was a much-needed boundary for Bangladesh.

BAN 56/4 (9)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: OUT!

There is the maiden international wicket for Mayank Yadav. Mahmudullah wanted to charge but the extra pace has got better of him. The Bangladesh batter hit the ball right into the hands of Washington Sundar at deep point.

BAN 43/4 (7.2)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: OUT!

Varun Chakravarthy finally gets his first wicket. Towhid Hridoy is his victim.

BAN 40/3 (6.4)

BAN 39/2 (6)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: Fielding blunder from Nitish!

4.2 - Not a good start for Nitish Reddy this is! Towhid Hridoy played a slow sweep on the bowling of Varun Chakravarthy. He couldn't execute the shot well and India debutant Nitish Reddy made a blunder there at square leg. He ran forward, knelt down but failed to grab the easy chance and saw the ball slip through him for a four. 

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: 8-run over!

Hardik Pandya has failed to trouble the Bangladesh batters so far. It is an 8-run over from him. Hardik has conceded 16 runs in his two overs.

BAN 24/2 (4)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: End of three overs!

Arshdeep Singh has conceded 8 runs in his two overs so far and taken two wickets. Bangladesh are clearly under pressure at the moment. Hardik Pandya will continue to bowl from the other end.

BAN 16/2 (3)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: WICKET!

Antother wicket for Arshdeep Singh. It was a back of length ball outside off stump and Parvez Hossain Emon got an inside edge on it. The ball rattled his stumps. This is a really good start for India.

BAN 14/2 (2.1)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: WICKET!

BAN 6/1 (1)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: Just saved!

Parvez Hossain Emon drove the Arshdeep Singh delivery at mid-on where Hardik Pandya was stationed. The Indian all-rounder failed to make a clean collection and the ball hit his hands to get deflected towards his face. To Hardik's good luck the line of the ball was just some centimetres away from his face.

BAN 1/0 (0.3)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: Match begins!
