India delivered a commanding performance, overwhelming Bangladesh by 133 runs in the third and final T20I to secure a 3-0 series sweep. The match, played in Hyderabad on Saturday (October 12), saw India setting a monumental total of 297/6, the highest ever by a full-member nation in T20I history. This remarkable feat left Bangladesh with an insurmountable task in what was essentially a dead rubber. India’s dominance from start to finish underscored their superiority in the shortest format of the game.
Sanju Samson’s record-breaking batting display in Hyderabad
India’s batting onslaught was led by Sanju Samson, who etched his name into the record books as the first Indian wicketkeeper-batter to score a T20I century. His sensational innings of 111 off just 47 balls overshadowed even Suryakumar Yadav, who also played a blistering knock Suryakumar contributed a blistering 75 from 35 deliveries, showcasing his usual flair, while Hardik Pandya’s explosive 47 off 18 provided the late flourish that pushed India’s total to a record-breaking 297/6. The relentless aggression throughout the innings not only set a new team benchmark but also left Bangladesh in disarray, struggling to comprehend the mag💎nit෴ude of their task.
Bangladesh’s inconsistent response: India’s bowlers seal the deal
Facing an almost impossible target, Bangladesh began their chase with some intent but quickly faltered as wickets tumbled regularly. Although Towhid Hridoy stood out with a fighting, unbeaten 63, his lone effort was not enough to stem the tide of India’s dominance. The chase lost steam after a promising start, with key wickets falling at crucial moments. However, they could only manage 164/7 in their 20 overs, never coming close to the massive target, effectively sealing their defeat.
Defending a mammoth total, India’s bowlers showed no signs of complacency and executed their plans with precision. Ravi Bishnoi, making a strong comeback into the T20I side, was the pick of the bowlers, taking three wickets and breaking through Bangladesh’s fragile resistance. Mayank Yadav, who featured in all three matches of the series, supported well with two wickets of his own. Throughout the game India’s bowlers and fielders remained sharp, maintaining high sta𝔉ndards throughout. This clinical bowling performance added the finishing touch to what was a dominant all-round display by the Indian team.
