Given the quality of India’s attack and the poor form of the Bangladesh top order, 197 was always going to be an uphill target for Najmul Hossain Shanto’s men. Even so, their abject surrender came as a surprise. Despite India’s 12-1 overall T20I record and 4-0 head-to-head in T20 World Cups, recent skirmishes between the sides have been keenly contested. Indeed, in the last two clashes in T20 World Cups, in Bangalore in 2016 and Adelaide in 2022, India edged home by one run and five runs (DLS Method) respectively.
Bangladesh have often found ways to run India close, but at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium on Saturday, India cut out all escape routes. Bangladesh’s chase never took off despite their best opening start of the competition, and once Kuldeep Yadav came on with his bundle of tricks, only one team was in the hunt.
