When is the Indian men’s cricket team’s next match? Date, Time, & Opposition
Team India thumped Bangladesh by 133 runs at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Saturday, October 12, in the third and final T20I of the series. With the huge win, the Men in Blue completed a 3-0 pounding of Bangladesh. They had earlier won the Test series 2-0.
The hosts batted first after winning the toss in Hyderabad and posted a mammoth 297-6, their highest total in T20I and the second-highest ever in the format. After failures in the first two games, Sanju Samson came to the party, clobbering 111 off just 47 balls, his maiden T20I ton that featured 11 fours and eight sixes.
Skipper Suryakumar Yadav smashed 75 off 35, while Hardik Pandya (47 off 18) and Riyan Parag (34 off 13) also made handy contributions. In their chase, Bangladesh were held to 164-7 as Ravi Bishnoi claimed 3-30 and Mayank Yadav 2-32.
