After winning the toss and choosing to bat first, Bangladesh were granted the start, which had more promise. Bangladesh was off to a flying start as Tanzid Hasan along with Litton Das scored 93 off 88 balls. When the former was removed following his first fifty-five, India made a breakthrough. Bangladesh was 93 for 0, but India soon took the lead and the score swiftly changed to 137 for 4.
Mahmudullah hit a superb forty-six off thirty balls, while Mushfiqur Rahim kept the middle order intact with a 38. Their cameos were vital to their team’s success in exceeding the 250-run threshold.
After Hardik hobbled off in his opening over, India were down a bowler. Given how important he is to the squad, they will be hoping it’s nothing severe. Shardul Thakur, however, was pushed to bowl for many more overs by Rohit Sharma as a result, and the all-rounder scored 59 runs in his nine overs.
Jasprit Bumrah excelled as usual, and Siraj recovered nicely after his lacklustre opening stint. As usual, India’s spinners were spot on, preventing Bangladesh’s hitters from forming lasting partnerships. India was able to restrict Bangladesh for a below-par score of 256 in Pune.
India’s top order fires them to victory over Bangladesh
With an aggressive 40-ball 48, Rohit took command of the game for India. Among the three Indians who were fired in an attempt to get through the ropes was him. But apart from that, India was scarcely put to the test. Shubman Gill lost his start but assisted himself to a fifty.
KL Rahul helped himself to a tidy little 34*. Virat Kohli scored another hundred, his 48th in one-day internationals. Bangladesh has lost three games in a row and was never really put to the test by this potent Indian batting lineup. Despite this, India is still unblemished and in control after four successful chases in four games.
