Batting first against Bangladesh in the Super 8 stage, India scored 196 runs for 5 wickets in 20 overs. Vice-captain Hardik Pandya batted brilliantly for India and scored a half-century in 27 balls. Hardik returned unbeaten after scoring 50 runs and it was only due to his innings that India was able to put up a strong score. During this, India hit a total of 13 sixes in the innings and surpassed its record of hitting the most sixes in a T20 World Cup match.
India made its third highest total of the T20 World Cup
Bangladesh won the toss and invited India to bat first and the team managed to score 196 runs for 5 wickets in 20 overs. This is India’s highest total in this World Cup. India thus made its third highest score in the history of this tournament. This is also the team’s highest score in T20 at North Sound Stadium. After losing the toss and batting first, the Indian team had a good start, but captain Rohit Sharma could not make this partnership bigger and was dismissed by Shakib Al Hasan. With the wicket of Rohit, Shakib became the first bowler to complete 50 wickets in the T20 World Cup. Virat Kohli, who is in poor form, also batted in this match and scored 36 runs in 24 balls. Kohli was the second highest run scorer for India after Hardik, but missed the half-century. At the same time, Shivam Dubey played a good role in supporting Hardik Pandya and scored 34 runs in 24 balls. At one time it seemed that the Indian team would cross the score of 200 runs, but the Bangladesh bowlers were successful in making a comeback to some extent.
India beat England
The Indian team has achieved another special achievement in this match. India has become the first team to score more than 180 runs in the T20 World Cup the most number of times. India has scored more than 180 runs 11 times in this tournament so far. In this case, it has surpassed defending champion England, who have scored more than 180 runs 10 times in the T20 World Cup. South Africa has done this nine times and Pakistan eight times.
