Bangladesh’s batting lost its steam
When Bangladesh came out to chase the record target of 298 runs, Mayank Yadav sent Parvez Hussain Emon to the pavilion on a score of zero on the very first ball of the innings. By the score of 59, the top-3 batsmen of the visiting team had returned to the pavilion. In such a situation, there was an important partnership of 53 runs between Liton Das and Tauheed Hriday. Liton scored 42 runs in 25 balls, while Tauheed returned unbeaten after scoring 65 runs. Mahmudullah, who came to play the last match of his T20 career, also returned to the pavilion after scoring only 8 runs.
The situation was such that Bangladesh had already lost the match 3 overs ago because it needed 160 runs in 18 balls, which was impossible to score. While Bangladesh needed aggressive batting, the team could score just 31 runs in the last 5 overs. Due to poor batting, it had to face a huge defeat of 133 runs.

- India’s Second Highest T20 Score: India made 297 runs, now the second-highest total in T20 cricket history, behind Nepal’s 314 runs against Mongolia.
