IND vs BAN 2nd T20I Live Cricket Score: India defeat Bangladesh by 86 runs, clinch series with a game to go

And India complete the win. A very big one indeed. They thrash Bangladesh yet again and this time in the defence. They beat them by 86 runs and also take the series 2-0 with a game to go.

And Mahmudullah is gone too. Nitish gets his second

Another one bites the dust. Nitish Reddy gets the wicket too. Tanzim has handed this to Hardik at long-off.

India are inches from winning this. Bangladesh are at 117/7 after 17 overs.

Rishad Hossain has been caught out at cow corner. A good running catch by Hardik. He covered ground from deep mid-wicket and took a running catch. Bangladesh are seven down

Riyan gets Miraz caught at long-off. Ravi Bishnoi, the sub-fielder, takes an easy catch. Bangladesh are now half side down.

Mahmudullah and Mehidy Hasan Miraz are at the crease and they are trying to put up a fightback. The way is too far for them as of now. They are at 70/4 after 10 overs and need 152 more

A brilliant yorker from Abhishek Sharma to bowl out Towhid Hridoy. Bangladesh witness an embarrassing collapse after an impressive start.

Hridoy scored 2 runs off 6 balls. Mahmudullah joins Mehidy Hasan Miraz in the middle.

BAN - 46/4 in 7 overs.

Bangladesh need 176 runs in 78 balls to win the game. 

Varun Chakravarthy strikes on his first ball of the game as he bowls out Litton Das to give India their third success in powerplay. Bangladesh are in deep trouble after a strong start.

Litton scored 14 runs off 11 balls. Mehidy Hasan Miraz joins Towhid Hridoy in the middle.

BAN - 43/3 in 5.3 overs.

Bangladesh need 179 runs in 87 balls to win the game. 

Washington Sundar with the second wicket for India as he removes opponent captain Najmul Shant who fails to cross boundary ropes at long-on. 

Shanto scored 11 runs off 7 balls. Towhid Hridoy joins Litton Das in the middle.

BAN - 42/2 in 5 overs. 

An inside edge and bowled.

Arshdeep Singh removes dangerous-looking Emom to give India a much-needed breakthrough. 

Emom scored 16 runs off 12 balls. Captain Najmul Shanto joins Litton Das in the middle.

BAN - 29/1 in 3 overs.

Parvesh Emom started Bangladesh's innings with a four off Arshdeep Singh and added two more boundaries to scorch 14 runs from the opening over. Nitish Reddy concedes just 6 runs from the second over but Bangladesh enjoy a positive start in a tough chase. 

BAN - 20/0 in 2 overs.

Bangladesh need 202 runs in 108 balls to win the game.

The two Bangladesh openers Parvez Hossain Emon and Litton Das are out in the middle. Arshdeep Singh to begin the things for India.

India will be pleased with this score. They end on 221/9 after strong fifties from Rinku and Nitish. Hardik chipped in with another cameo. This is the first time India have hit 200 against the Bangla Tigers.

Highest T20I totals by a team vs Bangladesh:

224/4 by SA Potchefstroom 2017

221/9 by India Delhi 2024

214/6 by SL Colombo RPS 2018

210/4 by SL Sylhet 2018

Riyan and Hardik depart in quick succession. This might dock a few runs. Both players perished looking to go big. Riyan was caught out at long-on, while Hardik is caught at deep cover, trying to go for a six

India breach 200 for the first time against Bangladesh. The run-scoring fest is on. But Riyan Parag has gone. He is caught out at long-on.

Taskin gets Rinku after his fifty. The Southpaw pulled this slower ball to deep mid-wicket and is caught out there by Jaker Ali. A good knock of 53 from 29 balls comes to an end.

Rinku gets to his fifty too. A 26-ball half-century for him and he gets there with a four, four and a six.

And Nitish falls. He has been caught out at point as he mistimes this one. Looked to heave it on the leg side but top-edges this to Mehidy.

Nitish gets to his fifty. A fifty in his second game only. A good knock by the all-rounder and this would give him confidence. 

Nitish Reddy smashes two back-to-back sixes off Rishad Hossain and Rinku adds another to scorch 24 runs off an over. India also reach 100 in 10 overs to get back on track for a big total.

IND - 101/3 in 10 overs.

Nitish survived a close LBW call here. He looked to reverse hit Mahmudullah and is beaten. It looked way too close and Bangladesh went for the review. But umpire's call on impact saved Nitish

Rinku is taking calculated risks here. He slogs Rishad Hossain on a googly for a maximum. India 62/3 after 8

Suryakumar Yadav is gone too. The Bangladesh bowlers are using the change in pace to a very good extent. The slower one gets the Indian skipper now. SKY is early on his shot and hands this to mid-off. This pitch looks two-paced for sure. Not what we saw in the IPL.

And the other opener has gone too. Tanzim cleans up Abhishek Sharma on a good-length delivery. The Indian batter looked to pull but got only an under edge.

Samson is gone. He has been done by the change of pace here by Taskin and hands a catch to mid-off. Surya is in now

Samson and Abhishek take India off to a strong start. The move to start with a spinner seems to have backfired. Three boundaries, 15 from the opening over

The action is underway now. Samson facing Mehidy and drives him for a four on the second ball.

The players are out in the middle. Abhishek and Sanju Samson at the crease. Expect runs to flow. Bangladesh go with spin today with Mehidy Hasan

Suryakumar Yadav is looking to equal Virat Kohli. He needs 39 runs to score 2500 runs in T20Is and will be the joint second-fastest (in terms of matches) to reach the feat. Kohli got there in 73 matches and this is SKY's 73rd T20I game.

India and Bangladesh have faced each other 15 times. India hold the aces with 14 wins. Only once Bangladesh have defeated India and that came in 2019 at this very venue. 

India's Playing XI: Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Nitish Reddy, Hardik Pandya, Riyan Parag, Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar, Varun Chakaravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Mayank Yadav

Bangladesh's Playing XI: Parvez Hossain Emon, Litton Das(w), Najmul Hossain Shanto(c), Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Jaker Ali, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Mustafizur Rahman

We were looking to bat first as well. We have to challenge our bowlers to bowl with the wet ball. There's a lot of talent. I am just happy sitting back, playing them bat. You have to be one step ahead. Looks very good. We are unchanged.

ll like to bowl first. Dew might come in the second innings. Looks a pretty good wicket, big score in all the matches. Today is a new day, we have to play to our strength. Top of the order, we need to do well in the first six overs. Shoriful isn't playing, Sakib comes in.

India will be batting first as Bangladesh win the toss. The crowd cheers as they are excited to see the Indians batting first

Not caps have been handed today till now and it seems there will be no debut for Harshit Rana. Toss coming up shortly.

"The second T20 international promises to be a run-fest. On this pitch, a lot of runs have been scored historically in the past. Not a big ground by any stretch of imagination. 55m and 63m square, 72m straight down the ground. This has been a fabulous pitch in the IPL. It's been 200+ consistently. It seems really hard, it's going to be a nightmare for the bowlers to bowl on this surface. It looks like one of those surfaces where even 200 might not be enough. Recently, a local T20 tournament, 300 runs were scored on this same surface. Teams that have batted first have won the games - five out five in the IPL. I'll bat first, but with the dew around, you never know," Abhinav Mukund says in his pitch report

What to expect today? Will we see Harshit Rana make his debut? Will Bishnoi get a look-in. Looks not likely today.

Dominant India are looking for another T20I series win as they face Bangladesh in the second T20I in Delhi. They defeated the Bangla Tigers with ease in Gwalior in the first game and would be looking to repeat the performance yet again. Stay tuned for all the updates on this clash.
