India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Ruthless IND eye series win, BAN hoping to stage stunning upset

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Former Bangladesh captain Tamil Iqbal said while doing commentary in the first T20I that they should open the batting with Mehidy Hasan Miraz. It will be interesting to see if they listen to him or stick to what they have at the moment.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: It would be unfair to ignore other batters while talking about India's ruthlessness in the first T20I but Hardik Pandya probably symbolised the World Cup champions' nonchalant dominance at the moment in the format, particularly when facing an underperforming side like Bangladesh. He ended the Indian chase in the 12th over with two fours and a six off three consecutive balls. He didn't even bother looking at the ball after ramping Taskin Ahmed for the first of those fours, choosing to drop his bat almost as soon as he made contact and then keeping looking straight at the bowler with an almost bored expression.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Bangladesh have a real problem with strike rates, with none of their main batters going at above 140 in their T20I careers. In the first T20I, captain Najmul Hossain Shanto hung around while players fell at the other end. When he tried to accelarate, he perished as well. This meant that Shanto scored 27 runs in 25 balls with just two boundaries.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Arshdeep Singh summed up how bad this ground was for bowlers last year. “Punjab Kings didn't have a match here in the IPL this season but seeing the scores at this ground I didn't feel like seeing the wicket. We will come tomorrow and assess the conditions and make plans accordingly,” he told reporters.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: Abhishek Sharma has a strike-rate of 217 and an average of 59 across the five T20 games he's played at this venue. In the sole match that the Sunrisers Hyderabad played here, Abhishek went berzerk, smashing a whopping 46 runs in just 12 balls at a scarcely believable average of 383.33. He put up an opening stand of 131 in, wait for it, 6.2 OVERS(!!!!!) with Travis Head, who scored 89 in 32.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: This venue was a nightmare for bowlers last year in the IPL. Each of the five games that were played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium last year saw a first innings score in excess of 200.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: What made Mayank Yadav catch the world's attention was not just his speed but his accuracy and he showed that facet of his as soon as he was given the ball. Mayank started his international career by bowling a maiden. Then he conceded one run in his seventh ball and then got his maiden international wicket off the eighth.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE Score 2nd T20I: The retirement of Rohit Sharma has opened up a spot in the pecking order for that position and it looks like the Indian team management has decided to put Sanju Samson in it. Whether he is also in line for the No.3 role that Virat Kohli vacated is unknown, with Suryakumar Yadav promoting himself to that position in the first T20I. Samson did well in the first T20I, anchoring the Indian innings while keeping up a strong strike rate. India couldn't find a suitable role for Rohit Sharma in Test cricket even as he came to be recognised among the best white-ball openers in the world until they gave him a go at the top. Could this be a similar break for Samson?
