Right then, with that, we wrap up this final warm-up game ahead of the main league stage of the T20 World Cup 2024. India clinches a commanding victory over Bangladesh. India will now gear up to take on Ireland to commence their mission of winning the trophy, while Bangladesh will look forward to kickstart its campaign against Sri Lanka later next week. The commencement of the league stage is just a few hours away from now, as the hosts USA are all set to begin their campaign against their northern neighbors, Canada in the inaugural game of the league phase. The match is scheduled to start on June 2nd, Sunday with the first ball set to be bowled at 6 am IST (12:30 am GMT). Do join us for the pre-match build-up. Till then, cheers and take care!
Earlier in the game, India chose to bat first but struggled initially as the batters adjusted to the new conditions of New York. Sanju Samson couldn't hold on and was dismissed early. Rohit Sharma also fell after a promising start. Rishabh Pant and Suryakumar Yadav then formed a responsible partnership, with Pant taking charge and accelerating the innings beautifully to score a brilliant fifty, while Yadav also contributed with a quick 31. After SKY's departure, Hardik Pandya came in all guns blazing and played a magnificent clutch inning in the backend smashing 40 off just 23. In the chase, Bangladesh couldn't gain any momentum and lost wickets at regular intervals. The Indian bowlers severely disrupted their batting order. However, Mahmudullah and Shakib Al Hasan formed a crucial partnership but Bangladesh was way too behind in the game by then.
India, on the other hand, began strongly with the ball. Arshdeep Singh struck in his first over, posing tough questions with conventional Test-match lengths and good swing. Jasprit Bumrah bowled with precision, keeping the Bangladeshi batters in check. Mohammed Siraj then claimed a wicket by hitting the deck hard and capitalizing on the pitch's assistance. Arshdeep removed Litton Das with a stunning delivery, helping India take control of the game. Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel then each claimed a wicket in quick succession and dented the middle order of Bangladesh badly. The spinners, Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav, may not have taken wickets, but they effectively compounded the pressure with their economical spells. Hardik Pandya got a wicket to his name whereas Shivam Dube came in as a surprise package in the backend picking up two to his name which led India to a dominating victory over their sub-continental counterparts.
India win by a comfortable margin of 60 runs in this final warm-up game of this ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024. Bangladesh struggled from the start, unable to handle the ball's early movement. The ball repeatedly beat their outside edges, with Soumya Sarkar falling in the first over and Litton Das following soon after. Najmul Hossain Shanto's dismissal left Bangladesh in tatters as they limped through the Powerplay. Towhid Hridoy's brief and struggling stay at the crease also came to an end as he departed for 13. Tanzid Hasan couldn't sustain as well and threw his wicket away under pressure. Bangladesh lost half of its side below 50. The veteran duo of Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah then formed a resilient partnership, but Bangladesh was already too far behind. Despite this, they managed to keep the scoreboard ticking. The two complemented each other well, putting together crucial runs and showcasing all their experience. But in the end, they badly collapsed and faced a thumping defeat.
