**CHATTOGRAM, BANGLADESH:** India cruised to victory in the first T20I against Bangladesh, chasing down a paltry target of 128 runs in a mere two overs, losing just one wicket. The dominant performance was fueled by a stunning bowling display from India, leaving Bangladesh reeling at 127 all out in 19.5 overs.
Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakravarthy led the charge for India, picking up three wickets each. Hardik Pandya, Mayank Yadav, and Washington Sundar claimed one wicket apiece. Bangladesh’s innings was punctuated by a fighting half-century from Mehedi Hasan Miraz, who scored an unbeaten 35 runs off 32 balls, while the rest of the batting order faltered.
Notably, this was Mayank Yadav and Nitish Reddy’s debut for the Indian team, marking a new chapter in their international careers.
The match began with Bangladesh winning the toss and electing to bat first, but their decision backfired as India’s bowlers relentlessly dismantled their batting lineup.
With the win, India takes an early lead in the three-match T20I series.
The second T20I is scheduled for November 3rd, at the same venue.
