INDIA VS BANGLADESH, 3RD T20I, 2024: Samson’s Explosive Century Seals India’s Dominance Against Bangladesh By 3-0 .

 

 

Samson slammed his maiden T20I ton to propel India to a formidable 297 for six — the highest ever total posted by an Indian side in the shortest format, their second best outright after Nepal’s 314/3. Samson smashed 111 from just 47 balls while Surya kumar Yadav was the perfect support with an unbeaten on a rapid quick-fire knock of 75 off only on 35 ball. Hardik Pandya (47 off 18) and Riyan Parag ‘s blistering cameos at the death ensured that Rajasthan finished with a flourish, as they pierced through their repertoire of shots in this boundary-fasten route to smacking an astonishing total of 25 fours and more than generous sixes. On this big total, India crushed down with ease and Bangladesh fell short by 133 runs as the senior-most Mahmudullah Riyad played his final T20 International.

INDIA-

Abhishek Sharma played too soon to a pull off Tanzim Hasan and holed out at mid-wicket. Suryakumar did not waste time in getting off the mark with a six. After an early grab of Tanzim for 19 during the Power Play, India had motored to 82 for one.

Without field security and it made no difference. Samson reached his 50; in only 22 ball he made it off just the second delivery from Rishad Hossain, clobbering him for six over midwicket to get there. He had a fantastic shot to the boundary over extra-cover off Mustafizur, before he was caught behind when Shakib pulled his length back. Rishad was made to pay heavily in his second over after Samson went on a rampage, hitting five sixes of the sort delivery as he helped himself 30 runs. The game was long gone for Bangladesh at that stage as Taskin bowled a beamer and Naim followed it with the maximum to complete 150-run stand.

He reached his century in the next ball, when he smashed a four back over Mahedi’s head. He fell a couple of balls later, getting an outside edge to deep-square leg after registering two more boundaries. The next over, he caught Surya Kumar at deep mid-wicket off Mahmudullah to depart the field and there was more death knell wafting for Bangladesh.

It got even worse for Tanzim as Pandya clobbered him 21-runs in the over and Parag nonchalantly played Mahedi at another end. In the final act of a forgettable innings, Bangladesh made a meal out of two straightforward run-out opportunities — one quite comically when Parag and Hardik were caught stranded mid-pitch but wicketkeeper Litton Das lobbed it over Umesh Yadav’s head. The next over, Parag was caught on the boundary but the fielder had his feet touching the ropes to add four more runs. Parag hoicked at a scoop off Taskin the bowler this time only for it to go straight into Litton’s gloves. However, Tanzim had picked up Hardik and Nitish Reddy off back-to-back balls while birthday boy Rinku Singh hoicked a last ball six.

BANGLADESH-

Bangladesh, in reply, never got going. The first ball delivered by Mayank Yadavand, and he bounced Parvez Hossain Emon (0) out off a glove to first slip where it found Riyan Parg [] The pair of Najmul Hossain Shanto and Tanzid Hasan went hard at India in the next two overs, accumulating 30 runs. But Tanzid was taken at short third-man by Sundar The homeboy, Nitish also took punishments Litton found his feet very quickly as he collected five boundaries in an over. The other wicket was Ravi Bishnoi’s, thanks in equal measure to SportMode analysts and the batsman one of their program stars – Shanto — who reverse-swept too early (and easily caught at slip), leaving behind a classic legspinner’s maiden.

After a 53-run stand between Towhid Hridoy and Litton, the latter holed out to Varma at deep square leg earlier in the fifteenth over. In his last T20I, Mahmudullah was dismissed for 8 The required run-rate went through the roof as Varun Chakravarthy bowled an economical spell, giving away only 23 runs in his four overs. Nitish then had Mahedi, caught at long-on for three and Bavan Rishad stumped off the bowling of leg-spinner Aditya Bhatia without scoring. The only positives came from opener Towhid Hridoy, who brought up his 50 with a six and ended unbeaten on 63. It was not good enough and Bangladesh were scuttled for 164 before they went on to close the demolition job.
