An innings of missed opportunities
Bangladesh got off to a brilliant start with Liton das and Naim powering their side to 59 runs in just 7 overs. However, Bangladesh were lucky enough as Rishabh Pant's stumping of Liton Das was ruled Not Out by the TV umpire. Das was granted another lifeline in 7th over by skipper Rohit Sharma before succumbing to a run out in the next over itself. Washington Sundar fetched India the second wicket as Mohammad Naim, who looked well in form, was caught out on the third delivery of Sundar's last over.
Bangladesh's star in the first T20, Mushfiqur Rahim, unfortunately, could not shine in the second match as Yuzvendra Chahal picked his wicket in 13th over of the game. The same over also saw Rishabh Pant uproot the bails as he stumped Soumya Sarkar way out of the crease off Chahal's last delivery.
Chahal restricts Bangladesh from a high score
Bangladesh Captain Riyad Mahmudullah's stay at the crease was short but enough to add 30 runs in the team's total. At a pitch which promised to be a run feast, Yuzvendra Chahal shone for India as he just gave away 28 runs picking up 2 wickets whereas Washington Sundar ended his spell with figures of 25 for 1. Shivam Dube and Krunal Pandya went wicketless in the match. Khaleel Ahmed had a rather forgettable outing as he was hit for 44 runs and could just scalp one wicket.
